Called paypal when I got home yesterday evening, they said that I had all of my ducks in a row for seller protection and they lifted the negative balance for me. Apparently the buyer filed a chargeback with their credit card with no warning or indication to paypal. They said they will have to deal with the sellers credit card company over this ....but I am good to go now.

Set up two Paypal accounts. Your real one, and your hobby one. Have all hobby transactions go through the hobby account. Transfer any balance to your real account immediately. That's going to prevent a lot of the problems you guys are having... better to lose a throwaway Paypal account than money.

fallacy:
when it comes to eBay you only buy from someone with alot of reviews and 98% positive. Most big ebay sellers will make it right even if they have to lose money; as a seller you can not have reviews saying you sent someone a broken item and would not return it.

It's such a headache these days my eBay account I've had since 2002 I would say sometime after 2010 issues started appearing more than once a year. Now in the last two years it's so bad I put as is on everything reserve the right to remove bids and put a restriction on buyers in the settings. Which sucks because new people that might want something lose out.

I basically take a picture of the item with the shipping label and if it's something electronic I'll take a video of packing it and putting in box with label and showing proof of pickup.

I hate scammers but now it's just ridiculous. I love all the fake bids and even fake emails saying payment received but if you open you'll notice it's spoofed or if you don't click the link check your actual account safely funds are not there.

Ok another eBay issue,

So I sold a pair of used Q-Logic speaker kick panels for a 4th gen camaro a few weeks ago. I put up detailed pics and the part number and a link to Q-logics page. Had $75 listed as the price + shipping. These sell for $219 new on their website.

My auctions are listed no refunds and I tried to list these as best as I can and to ask questions before buying.

Just got a return requested from ebay last night from that buyer......she said he had a 4th gen camaro convertible and they don't fit and she wants to return them....I don't really have a choice because she can flag them as not as described and can send them back anyway. So I can do it the easy way or the hard way.... I accepted the return as eBay specified and buyer pays return shipping.

Why even have a "no refund" option? That's what boggles me about eBay...

It's just $75 and honestly it would have came out better for the buyer to just keep them and re-sell themselves. Especially since they will be paying out $30 total in shipping after it's said and done. I'm not taking a hit on the shipping.

I tried to look on the Q-Logic website and it doesn't say anything about not fitting a convertible says it fits 93-02 cars, and since it is such an odd duck I would have know way of knowing either since 99% of the 93-02 camaro's on the road are sport coupes. Very few convertibles were made.

So now I am expecting the package back (buyer pays shipping) and I have to issue the $75 she paid when it is received.
