If you are selling watches or almost anything, and using Paypal to get payment, Here is something that you should be aware of, that has just happened to me, and could happen to anyone!
I have been selling on Ebay for over three years, and thought everything was hunky dorry, untill I came across a wheeler -dealer in Canada. Not being able to metion any names, but if you look at my feedback you will see a negative comment, of which I am looking into a liability claim through civil court action. This is What happened!
A Fusee pocket watch was brought by a Canadian buyer for a reasonable price, I list with 12 photographs and an in depth discription itemising any defects on all items I list. The parcel was sent to the buyer and went to customs as normal. The buyer was faced with a $45.00 cutoms charge, so he sent me and Email demanding I pay the charges. On top of that he said I was not 'Savy' ( what ever that means) and I should have falcified the customs documents so he could avoid charges. I replied informing him that would have made the insurance invalid. He then mailed back saying if I did not pay the charges he would send the watch back for a refund. Seeing were this was going, I mailed back saying, if he collected the watch and was not happy with it, he could send it back and I would give him a refund. It was no surprice when the next mail arrived saying the watch was not as described in that the case was slightly worn and one hand was slightly bent and the stamp on the case was a PH and not TH as
