UPDATED 5/16: BEWARE PAYPAL CHARGEBACKS! If you sell on eBay, read this...

[Directly]

Years ago I posted a Japanese sword on Ebay.
A interested buyer from Australia wanted to purchase, but I tried to explain I didn't ship overseas--he persisted saying there would be no problems, I finally caved sold him the sword and shipped. About two weeks later he asked to return the sword, saying he unwrapped the binding on the handle and the tang didn't have any information inscribed on the metal tang handle.

I asked why he should expect to return for a refund after he literally took the sword apart, leaving me with just parts so to speak.

Anyway I received a notice from Paypal they would leave me a minus 800.00 negative balance which they did with no questions asked.

Although I did receive the sword back in pieces I resold to another buyer, this time a USA buyer-- the credit card co will usually side with their customers for any right or wrong disputes!
