    thanks for answering the op... :rolleyes:
  • I guess, but this is a guess- that they go by percentages. I've had to make a bucketload of claims, but I buy a huge amount as well. Most of the time I don't think it does actually get lost, but there we are- ebay gave private sellers free listing, and it's us that have to deal with the fallout :rolleyes:
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    There used to be a value limit of around £3500 per year, but no mention of number of claims. This was changed last year/early this year to remove the value limit.

    From attending a Paypal seminar last year though, they did say that regular claimants would be flagged and monitored, but obviously didn't state the exact criteria.

    I guess it depends on the proportion of claims - somebody who buys 100's of items per year should be expected to make more claims than somebody who only buys once a month.

    I believe Royal Mail also monitors claims against them
