I would appreciate some advice from Vet Ebay sellers

Fight it thru paypal, send them all your correspondences, and see how it goes. Don't just give up, odds are against you, but you have a chance. Also out him.

Sorry, it sound like you were scammed. Unfortunately, you will most likely have to refund the money. Without a tracking number (even if you have great documentation) paypal will refund the money to the buyer. I still would pursue with paypal. IRC, there is a limit of times a buyer can make claims and if this guy is running a scam, maybe they will put an end to it.

The same thing happened to me this week. I sold a guy a card and unfortunately didn't get delivery conformation. 2 days after it shipped he's asking me "where's my card"? I told him it was only 2 days and he'd have to wait. 2 days later same thing. 1 day later "you didn't send my card, where is it, blah, blah". EXACTLY 7 days after the auction ended he files a claim with Paypal. I sent a copy of the postal receipt to Paypal and 2 days later they gave him his money back. I called Paypal and spoke with a very nice lady who basically told me from now on get Delivery Conformation on EVERYTHING because they will ALWAYS find in favor of the buyer irregardless. The post office said they can't do any kind of search until after 1 month. I have over 1500 positive feedbacks and he has 6. Paypal said they don't even consider this as a factor. I've learned my lesson and will purchase the DC on everything I ship. For the extra 80 cents it will be worth it. I know how you feel, I know I got jobbed on this one myself. By the way, this guys user name is newusertoday1990 so everyone be REAL careful out there with him although I don't think he does vintage stuff.

I agree about the Delivery confirmation,in fact I have always shipped with it,always at a (small) monetary loss to me. In this case the loss would of been about $9 and I just didnt want to eat that much.

He told me that he didnt want to wait on the card because it was the last card to complete the set,which he wanted to sell, and if the card never showed up,it would put him further behind in selling the set.

I will out him soon, just want to make a decision on this first.
