All i can say is dont sell electronics on eBay. USPS denied claim. On Appeal now. Chase purchase protection now claims i voluntarily parted with it so theyre denying claim.

I am in middle of a similar incident as @hvaces42 except my loss would be much smaller and I used USPS forst class which I don't think includes insurance. I sold a new Kindle and the buyer claims the package came empty. They sent me pictures of the envelope which seems to show the adhesive still covered by the "sticker" you are supposed to peel off. I don't recall specifically removing the "sticker", but to not do so seems very unlike me. If I did not properly close the envelope, do I have any legitimate claim from USPS? Any advice on how to proceed?
No insurance on USPS first class mail.
I just found a new supply of forks!

How will eBay/Paypal rule on dispute?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

I shipped it and it was delivered. It was stolen afyer delivery before reaching thr purchaser. Thats not admitting anything. You really wouldnt fare well in court.

So you are saying they stole it? I thought you were blaming USPS employee for the theft?
We already went through this so need to rehash it. The T&C's are clear on this.

means you departed with it voluntary

CC purchase protections is meant to cover you if you are mugged or similar not if you resell and the other guy rips you off. There is business insurance for that.

Hate to gloat but i was right. USPS paid claim for full value of purchase from Samsung, not what I sold it for on eBay.

Further proves its who you know not what you know. Friend is connected to Postal Inspection Service and they opened an investigation. Turns out the phone was stolen by a USPS employee at the stop after the post office in which i mailed it. Investigation is still ongoing but I got a check today after first appeal was denied.

I don't believe this I was literally wondering about what happened with this case like 1/2 hour ago. I just came on and here it is :)

ETA: actually I don't remember if it was a half hour ago but it was definitely sometime today

Should I be nervous that a user who bought the iphone I was selling signed up on the same day? To me that seems very sketchy, even the user name was clearly generated it's just a bunch of gibberish
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.
