So I sold this snare on eBay to a guy in Armenia. I shipped it off (USPS does not offer tracking on these types of shipments), didn't hear anything for a month, and forgot about it. Well a month later the guy randomly files a complaint about me with Paypal saying he didn't receive it...long story short, he actually lives in Italy but for some reason gave me an Armenia address. In the meantime the snare makes it back to me...I tell Paypal to refund the money but that I don't want to refund shipping for his error. By the way, we are talking $70 of shipping on a $100 item. Paypal takes forever (over a month) to do anything but in the end gives him all of his money back. I call and argue with them and am told, he either gets all or nothing, there is no in-between.
To top things off, the guy then leaves me negative feedback on eBay (my only negative feedback after many years of eBay buying/selling). I call eBay and they say the feedback is subjective and that they can't do anything about it.
So to summarize, if you sell an item to someone who gives you a wrong address, you will not only lose money but you will have your eBay reputation ruined in the process.
Wonderful. I've tried to research my options about complaining again to eBay but from what I read it isn't worth wasting my time.
In other news, I've been editing some of my old favorite pictures with Lightroom just to make them look better. My old point and shoot had some serious vignetting. This picture of Lucy has always been a favorite of mine:
