I haven't had any notable difficulties in over 1700 Paypal transactions...
Hi Jim,
I haven't had any problems with PayPal either, but the relationship has changed. Now, the buyer has up to 180 days to return an item.
Previously, the buyer had up to 45 days to file a claim. That actually limited some of my eBay sales (heavy, expensive gears), because the least expensive "surface" shipping via Canada Post to Asia, Australia, and other remote parts, had a 6 to 8 week delivery expectation (i.e. shipping by ship - where did that come from?). So, I wouldn't ship by a method that would probably take longer than the claim period, and so it limited my 'audience'. I can see it now: the "never received it" claim is filed on 1 April. The forced refund is provided to the buyer, and then two weeks later, the buyer gets the package.
Wind the clock forward to today...
... you send out a $3k lens to somebody, somewhere, on Jan 31, 2015, just before everybody closes up shop to watch the Pats defeat the Packers in Super Bowl LXIX, and it feels good (sending the package, and the game result).
...then, on July 31, 2015, just after you get home from stocking up on supplies to watch Week 1 of the NFL pre-season, you find that a PayPal claim has been filed on that lens you sent way back, in the 2014 season.
