Tracking information is no longer available on the USPS website after 180 days. If a buyer wanted to scam a seller, all he has to do is wait until the 179th day and file a claim. If the seller doesn't respond right away, the tracking information disappears and the seller can't prove the item was delivered.

Any thoughts on this?

Really? Wow. I guess start saving screen shots of the delivery confirmation? And with the SNAD... IDK with cards its pretty easy, just photo the heck out of it (graded cards are even easier) and save all those photos as well. I don't sell on Ebay a lot so I am not up with the current scams and such.

Paypal looks at said screen shot.

"Doctored in Photoshop. Claim denied."

eBay all but killed card shows and traditional mail order with e-commerce and now eBay and PayPal are doing more to revive face to face and personal commerce than I could ever have imagined. Not to mention the boon to auctioneers.

You guys are just not looking at this from the right angle.

Now we can buy someone else's cards list them for 2-3X what we paid and after 5 1/2 months of them not selling we can return them with a new major crease. It is better than the 45 days we get now to return items for any reason.

As others have mentioned before, paypal is doing this because of rampant credit card charge back issues. Here's another scenario, where after losing the cases, Paypal still decided to refund the seller the original cost of the item: Link. Therefore, if the Post Office (or other shipper) never updates the tracking as package delivered, you are truly screwed. I've received assistance from Paypal on chargeback issues, and I personally think that Paypal is losing loads of money on this, which was why they made this change. I think credit cards really need to crack down on the fraud happening here. I think the intent for the chargeback was if someone stole your credit card (or credit card number), and not like what is happening here.
