<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 3753129, member: 36"]What they count on is your time being worth more to you than to them and a fight being more hassle than it's worth. To them a seller's time is worth NOTHING; they only care about their cut. Tags mean nothing although they will keep the serial jewelry renters away. Appraisals other than GIA or European equivalent are worth nothing to anyone except the paper they're printed on. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sellers are only protected if the buyer files for non-delivery and the tracking shows delivered to their address. Sort of. If the person used Paypal or a credit card you may still be on the hook. Ebay doesn't care. If they use a credit card and file you can jump through all the hoops, still be out money and item and get whacked for an extra $20 into the bargain. Someone pulled it on me once, and it was cheaper in the end to eat the loss. And in that I case I honestly believe it was mis-delivered. Pandemic garbage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
