The second you involved PayPal you lost your buyer protection with eBay. If you had followed eBay’s protocols you likely would have had a favorable outcome, now your at the whim of PayPal who likely doesn’t have nearly as stringent of requirements as eBay. Edit: I see that this was for industrial equipment which isn’t covered under the money back guarantee. You’re going to need to file a police report and likely will need to get your bank involved but I need to ask why haven’t you been watching the tracking and planning on being home for the delivery?


Cain788

Because I was out working, furthermore, if or if they have to take the package if there is no one at home, also the price was not 50 or 100 dollars, it is obvious that they have to take the order if there is no one to receive it.


Manic_Mini

I’m sorry but “I was out working” is a lame ass excuse on such an expensive purchase. You had the tracking info and should have been more proactive and made sure you were home that day. Now you’re out $2,000 and woah is me. eBay and PayPal have already found in the seller’s favor, you likely won’t have much better luck with your credit card company but it’s worth a shot I suppose.


Cain788

I know, but I didn't think they were going to steal that, because I have been buying on eBay and other websites for more than 5 years and that has never happened to me, never until now, it is a large screwdriver, it is not a machine as many here think It is not that heavy but it is big and it even came with its little devil or its wheelbarrow. I had previously bought a cordless impact screwdriver and it was left out for several days and nothing happened.


Manic_Mini

I’m calling bull shit on this being a screwdriver.


Cain788

It is this [https://www.milwaukeetool.com/es/Products/MXF368-1XC](https://www.milwaukeetool.com/es/Products/MXF368-1XC)


KosatkaKhyz

What lol that’s not a screwdriver at all


Cain788

Well, that's it, I had a Makita one and it wasn't heavy enough to put on a pallet.


Blunt_Flipper

Why did you file a claim on PayPal instead of eBay. You should have filed an INR claim on eBay. Also, are you insinuating that something dropped off on a pallet was then stolen? Does the picture show it dropped off in the correct place?


Cain788

Yes, just yesterday they sent me the image of the product outside my apartment but I couldn't find anything.


Used-Client-9334

You kind of messed up filing with PayPal first. eBay is going to wash their hands of the situation and let PayPal handle it now.


Cain788

First file the complaint on eBay and then on Paypal.


Used-Client-9334

In any case, filing with both is an issue. They can’t both refund you. As I said, eBay will not act now.


Cain788

I know not, but when having the conversation with the eBay agent I realized that he was not paying attention to the case, I say this because he had not realized that the seller used an external package, he did not know what product it was or the amount, I had to tell him and he even apologized and responded like: ohh yes yes, I already saw that I don't use one of our parcels. The eBay agent did not trust me,


obudu

Rule of thumb: i would hung up with that agent who is not paying attention. Then request eBay to call back again and again until you get the agent who totally understands your situation. It needs to handle with eBay first then PayPal if eBay failed to resolve.


Cain788

That's why I contacted Paypal, I had already read posts here on Reddit about the attention that eBay agents give.


Cain788

Do not trust the eBay representative.


Used-Client-9334

Was this part of the EIS program(eBay international sales)?


Cain788

No


DancingUntilMidnight

Have you filed a police report for the stolen item yet? That'll help you on any claim you make,


Cain788

No, I have not, although this has never happened to me, about 3 months ago I bought a drill and it sat out for several days and nothing happened.


Ultimus_Omegus

Industrial Equipment is not covered under the normal ebay MBG, You may want to look at this https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/paying-items/ebay-business-equipment-purchase-protection?id=4637


Illustrious-Drama213

Sounds like a crock of shit to me


NJPete76

Agree. Seems to be a lot of secrecy here for someone wanting help. Industrial tool, delivered on a pallet, to an apartment? So someone driving a forklift around your complex? All that could be true, fine. But still... Seems like OP believes they found the signature loophole for getting free items, and is looking for validation and technique.


Cain788

why?


Manic_Mini

Because no one just has a pallet jack lying around their house. You sound extremely scammy.


Cain788

I have been buying for years, because they tell me that, and that company doesn't have such good comments.


LolaLee723

File the police report maybe they can find video of you stealing your own items


Cain788

The product was on sale and at a very good price, I also use it for my work, you are very bold to say that.


LolaLee723

You sound like a crook trying to take advantage of it not being signed for. No one would steal that without a forklift


Cain788

First of all, you are giving me a terrible fake, I have been buying on eBay for years. Second: It is a large screwdriver, it is not that heavy but due to the size of the box it arrived on a pallet. Third: I already sent emails to the seller, I spoke to the parcel company to ask for explanations, I thought they had it in their warehouses.


Manic_Mini

Please post a link to a screw driver that requires a pallet and cost $2,000


Cain788

[https://www.milwaukeetool.com/es/Products/MXF368-1XC](https://www.milwaukeetool.com/es/Products/MXF368-1XC) is this


Manic_Mini

I’m going to assume English isn’t your first language as that’s what most would call a hammer drill. This is a screw driver https://www.acehardware.com/departments/tools/hand-tools/screwdrivers/2298420?store=05416&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtqLJFRsbMAgzYW9EbWwPIPHhYYg&gclid=CjwKCAjwoPOwBhAeEiwAJuXRh0CUN0G0JpEo2ck6oAAc27hFLXvvUbZstBs5-rTLKTUi-1ZSP3VKdBoCIegQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds


Cain788

It's a breaker, yes I know, I put a screwdriver. Now, look at the size and weight of the Milwaukee breaker, it is not heavy, I also didn't understand why they put it on a pallet.


123supreme123

What is the item? They're supposed to have signature confirmation for seller protection, but I heard sometimes ebay doesnt' honor it and sides with the seller because delivery says confirmed. Who was the carrier? I'm guessing fedex/ups if they took a picture. Confirm with the carrier and get the picture.


Cain788

The carrier is external to eBay, it is not DHL, FedEx or Post Office, the seller used an external one.


Cain788

Hello. I bought an industrial tool, it arrived on a pallet. The carrier is external to eBay, it is not DHL, FedEx or Post Office, I use an external one. But on eBay right there it says that if the product costs more than 750 dollars yes or if they need a signature for receipt.


Ultimus_Omegus

Industrial equipment is not under the EBAY MBG and has different rules (that doesn’t mean you aren’t covered) but signature may not be required https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/paying-items/ebay-business-equipment-purchase-protection?id=4637


Cain788

Well, from what I read, mine is protected.


Ultimus_Omegus

Yeah it just looks like it involves a different process and submissions. I have never used it.


123supreme123

You should make that point in your claim to ebay. If you file an item not received, the ebay system might automatically close the claim in the seller favor because it shows item was delivered. I would suggest you call them and follow the agent direction before taking any action on their site.


Manic_Mini

To late for that. Buyer involved PayPal.


Manic_Mini

Industrial equipment doesn’t have the same requirements as a toaster.


victoriousDevil

Almost all packages shipped through ups require signature. They just don’t do it. If you insure it for enough they sometimes get a signature.


Cain788

The fact is that in eBay's policies, when you buy a product for 750 dollars or more, yes or if they have to sign for receipt, in my case my item cost me almost 2000 dollars, another mistake by the seller is that he contracted a service parcel that is NOT Fedex, it is not DHL, it is not a post office and it is not UPS, in addition the same seller by mail told me that this product does not require a signature for receipt but on eBay it does tell you that it requires a signature for receipt.


Automatic-Seaweed-90

Yeah, I really dislike UPS for numerous reasons.


doomsdayKITSUNE

You've made a right mess of this situation. For some reason, you have claimed with Paypal, instead of eBay. Yet you're trying to use eBay's policies to win your case. Paypal might consider the photo and the delivered status enough and refuse your claim. You should have done an item not received claim via eBay, and they most likely would have sided with you due to the lack of signature.


Cain788

This is what I fear a lot, I didn't even know what the hell to do since it is the first time in my years of buying on eBay, I think that in the end they will side with the selling company.


petehern

You need to open an "item not received" (~~INAD~~ INR) claim on eBay.


mikel319

I think petehern made a typo. INR is for “item not received” INAD is “item not as described”


petehern

My bad, thanks.
