  • I would phone Royal Mail and see if they can find anything out about its whereabouts. As it stands your tracking doesn't show delivery, so they will find in the buyers favour

    have a read of the sticky postage thread . For unathorised use of a card claim you need to show proof of posting, not proof of delivery. So assuming you have the Orange signed for slip, scan and upload that to the case.

    Keep on at PayPal though once you've uploaded your proof as they can be slow. I had one recently and won the case within 6 days.

    Chargebacks are different, and imho easier.

    Do you have the certificate of posting?

    If so upload that and point Paypal to their user agreement for seller protection re chargebacks (section 11.7 https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full?locale.x=en_GB#11)

    If you have the tracking (as it seems you do) upload the screenshot to the case too.
  • when i try to upload actual tracking receipt it says not enough space on file
