Sellers not posting feedback until they've recieved feedback

If there are insufficient funds, AIUI you only get the money that they can recover. Is this what you mean, or did you specifically get a refund minus an administration charge?

I think you must have gone through the ebay standard protection policy. Paypal do not charge fees for any claims through them.

I think so too but I definitely applied via Paypal not Ebay.

I agree that the system of feedback needs looking at. I recently had a shirty message from a seller asking me when I was going to leave her feedback for the "beautiful item I had recieved at a bargain price". My reply was that as a buyer I always awaited feedback from the seller first and since she had received prompt payment (she got the cheque the next day and indicated as such), and I had communicated well with her.. I really was awaiting her feedback. All I had was another shirty message telling me I was going against ebay protocol and buyers were to leave feedback first.. I wont be bothering.. yes the item is fine.. but it took almost 3 weeks for her to send the item and her snottiness has put me right off! I think some of these people just make up their own rules

In order for a transaction to be eligible for Buyer Complaint Process review:
...
You must not have received the item that you purchased.

So, for items not received, you are always covered by paypal, but for items not as described you are only covered if paypal buyer protection applies. Confusing or what? :rolleyes:

This is yet another reason to fund your payment by credit card.
