Update: My claim was approved by USPS. Just waiting to receive the check in the mail for my $200. He must have complied with USPS request to show proof of empty package. Still pissed that he got a pair of free shoes.

This is the ONLY way if you are dealing with paypal. Paypal will ALWAYS side with the buyer unless you have BULLET PROOF evidence.Might be a bit tedious, but I recommend that you record yourself packing the box at the facility (USPS, FedEX, UPS) and physically handing the package over to the sales rep. Make sure you record the shipping label to capture your address, seller's address
Good point. I'll look into it and see if I can cause some problems for him. People like this deserve every bit of trouble that comes their way.
Anyone else that would like to help feel free to PM me for his additional info.
I'll say this again, base personal more than likely opened and inspected the package before giving it to him so it is possible he is telling the truth. It's also possible that this is part of the scam, having his boy who works in the base post office steal the contents of the package and then forward it. I'd contact the base and inquire about the package mentioning it's weight and what you expect happened. Talk to asupervisor.
you can contact the BBB regarding the post office? i tried to do that one time, and it said i couldnt file a claim towards themI've been selling on eBay for over 12 years and have pretty much encountered every scam you can imagine.
In this case I can see why they aren't covering you, this is a situation the Post office is going to have to deal with, they should refund you your money. Like many have said theres a good chance the item could have been stolen and they will launch an investigation. You should receive your money back if you took out insurance. Make sure you take down the names of every one you speak with as well as the dates and times you spoke with them. If you get no where contact the Better Business Bureau. Every single time I've been screwed and filed a report with them I've gotten results.
What size you wear? Maybe we could do some businessWhat if the buyer wasnt lying?
Not everything is a scam
Dang sorry op it didn't work out in your favor... That's why I quit selling my shoes online and stick to Craigslist
CL selling for me has always been meetups.Dang sorry op it didn't work out in your favor... That's why I quit selling my shoes online and stick to Craigslist
how are you selling different on craigslist? are you accepting cash in-person (or other means) and arrange to meet buyer?
Sent as a service or good, yeah they can still file a claim for some reason or another. I think in situations like these, you'd be the one more inclined to scam people (not saying you would). Someone pays you $20 bucks for a cleaning and sends you their shoes--you never send the shoe back--they file a claim with Paypal and probably only get their money back. Unless you add some type of insurance.Learned a bit going through this thread. Trying to start something (refer to sig) and I am going to be using my Paypal to manage funds.

So I sound like I have the upper hand against any type of scamming.
I was just thinking is there a possibility they could send money, but take it back or cancel it?
