My question involves business law in the state of: MD
Hello Forum:
I have a problem may be someone can give me some advice.
Last month I sold a gold bar on eBay for over 1000$. I live in NY and the buyer is in MD. I sent the item through signature confirmation and also bought insurance. After a few days the customer left positive feedback and I also did the same. I got my money and he got his item. Everybody happy.
Once I got the feedback I could not keep track of receipts and probably they were trashed. Can’t find them.
Now after 24 days this buyer opened a PayPal claim saying he never received the item.
PayPal is going to refund all his money through me because I don’t have tracking numbers. PayPal said they don’t care about positive feedback…it is nothing to them!!!
I went to the post office but there is nothing they can do.
I have the transaction from USPS for that day on my credit card. I have my positive feedback from this scammer.
I want to ask: am I screwed up royally and there is no way out? So I should just go ahead and give the money to the scammer. (I have excellent top tier credit so I don’t want to do anything silly)
Or there is still something which can be done? Is it worth it to go for small claims court??
What should I do now???
Your suggestion, replies and advice will be highly appreciated. So heartbroken I need a hug…
