My Lee evans tickets finish on ebay in a few hours (10ish i think)

wondering once i receive payment and send them recorded delivery whats the best i can do to stop the guy telling paypal the envelope was empty and get his money back plus the tickets??

Insurance with the package to cover the costs and then blame RM?

There is NO way to prove to Paypal that you didn't do this. So, just hope the buyer doesn't do anything.

I sold my Foo Fighters Tickets for Wembley on eBay a few months back I just sent them via Special delivery in a Normal white envelope. Make sure they are insured though.

Make a video of you putting them in the envelope and going to the post office and posting them?

Write your ebay name on your forehead aswell, and randomly show it on camera.

That would have to be proof.

Mark the ticket with your blood.

what if you were to make a video of yourself placing the tickets in an envelope, taking them to the post office and sending them recorded delivery

edit: way too slow

Send it with an armed convoy?

PK!

Wait - maybe we're looking at this the wrong way. DON'T send the tickets. Just send a blank envelope.

Never use paypal for something like this.

hand delivered is the only foolproof way, but then you wouldnt have to bother with paypal

can i note down the (if there is one) serial number on the tickets then if this happens report them stolen! get them cancelled and new ones issued??

i forgot to untick the paypal button when putting them on ebay! so chances are payment is goign to be though ebay

Pack some sandwiches, put on your best ninja t-shirt and head off down there to give them to him in person.

If they scan tickets there you'll be able to get duplicates sent out, if not then you're unlikely to be able to

Go to the post office and get one of the cashiers to sign the envelope to say she can confirm they were in the envelope at time of posting.

Also take a picture of said envelope & signature use this as proof should the buyer play games.

if they steal the tickets, send me a photo of them (facebook them) and i'll duff em in on my way to the cinema
