Believe me, I'm beginning to reassess that statement on a daily basis.

Here I am! Link told me to come here. May someone give me a small summary of what happend? I'm really out of time at the moment but if I can give an help, I'm always ready.

ps once the courrier lost an unreleased Galaxian NES sample shipped from 200 Km from my house...I'm sorry, shipping stuff in Italy and around it's a Russian Roulette. When I buy something I take always the risk. And everything must be always tracked.

...and what about the Falcon Microbox that reached me completely smashed?

[Kitsune Sniper]

In summary:

Italian guy wins item
I request Express Mail
Everyone tells me to not send it to him
I send it anyway
I send the item on March 28
Guy asks me where it is
Customs form says it left Italian customs, EMS form only says it left the US
I spend the next days trying to get USPS to look for it, they tell me to wait 18 days
18 days pass and they tell me I have to wait up to 42 more days because the Italians aren't doing shit
Italian guy gets pissed off, wants a refund, opens a claim.

From the summary, you should be able to get money from the Postal claim before the Paypal one, right?

No, because I still have to wait 35 or so days before they'll let me file an insurance claim. They won't let me do so until they're sure the package has been lost - or rather, until either the Italians tell them "we lost it" or they go "fuck those assholes, they're not doing shit, here".

[Nicola]

Sad story. Knowing Italian post service, the package may arrive in 2 months or simply disappear. The only time I've made and used an insurance for 500 USD, since the item arrived destroyed, they simply said it wasn't possible to get a refund.

That's it, Italian post service sucks.

Every time I buy something I avoid paying more for an insurance. I know that since I begun collecting I've lost 2 packages and 2 arrived broken. That's a risk I'm aware of.

Sadly, I don't think it's a matter of stealing stuff. Who cares about an old NES games without a label... It's a matter of bad organization and people that don't care much about their work.

[Parodius Duh!]

any way you can remove all your bank information, credit card info, etc. from paypal? that way they cant just take anything from you. I have a feeling your beat though because of whatever claim is linked to the account....

That won't do anything. I already borrowed some money and added it to the account to protect me from an overdraft... now I have to pay it back and hope I get most of the money back via the insurance claim.

[Kitsune Sniper]

...

You have been clever. Before you answered to my questions now instead you
have removed the money from the account paypal in order not to reimburse to
me and do not answer to my questions. It remembers that I have paid for a
shipment with trach and insurance.

I have HAD IT. I wrote this, but didn't send it. I'm so sick of him right now I might just do so...

Well, first off, you have to understand that I live an in entirely different continent, so I can't answer your messages right away.

Second, about that "Item not delivered" claim you filed. The money you paid is being held by PayPal. I did not steal your money. It's right there in the account, frozen by PayPal, while the claim is being investigated. In fact, I had to BORROW money to add it to the account so I could continue working on eBay, since it's my ONLY JOB.

Third, do you think I'm HAPPY that the item is lost? NO! You have NO IDEA HOW ANGRY I AM THAT THE ITALIAN POSTAL SERVICE LOST THE ITEM. You know, many people warned me about sending items to Italy. They told me, "It'll get lost", "their postal service is full of thieves", "Express Mail won't help", and they were RIGHT. Don't blame ME. The item ARRIVED in Italy on April 5 according to the customs form, so Poste Italiane LOST IT. Once the package arrived at Italy, it became -their responsibility-. Stop blaming ME. It's THEIR FAULT. This is why I've been asking you to call them, they should still have the package somewhere... unless a postal worker stole it. You should call your local police and your local post office and file a theft claim. A postal worker might have stolen it. I'm pretty sure that's what happened now.

Fourth, you will get your money when PayPal finishes their investigation and decides the claim in your favor. I can't refund the money before that is done. I'm still hoping that the USPS will pressure Poste Italiane into finding the package so it's delivered before the claim ends.

I am an honest seller. I am not a thief, and the fact that you've accused me of being one hurts. I made sure there would be money in the account before you filed your claim so you would get your money after the claim was done. I am sorry if your package was lost, but it's not my fault. I've done all I can. Right now it's up to Poste Italiane to find the thing and deliver it.

[bcks007]

I would send that^

[Oobgarm]

I would send that^

Seconded. Maybe instead of "it hurts me" perhaps "it offends me" or something to that effect.

[The Shawn]

Yeah, The guy sounds like a real douchebag. I think it's high time you got a little pissy with him for not even trying to look into the PO system himself. After it's all said and done and he get's his money, eat the neg and tell him to go hang himself.

[Mayhem]

Yes, send it... and see if one of the Italians here can translate it for you to send in that language as well.

[pseudonym]

Send it. You shouldn't have to put up with snide accusations when you've done all that you can from your end.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I just sent it. I changed "hurts" to "offends and hurts me". I had to keep the language simple and similar enough to Italian so he'll understand.

Jesus wept, I'm never dealing with Italy ever again.
