So currently how do things stand?
Not very well for the buyer, obviously.

Ok so what is to stop me ordering a £500 gfx card for my alienware, and just claim there was rubble/assorted junk in the box and getting a new card and my money back!?!?! I could just open the box and reseal it with selotape and claim the courier must have done it. I mean it is one thing to say it never turned up, or was faulty/not as described but to say you got it but there was not the correct item inside..... i mean there must be thousands of scammers doing this.
This is why its turning into a very risky place to sell!
I asked ebay this very question when I was on the phone. They basically said, nothing would stop you doing this, but they do make a note of everytime you do this, and if it becomes a regular thing they probably put a block on your account
Worth it for a Titan-X surely?
Of course, there's also nothing stopping the seller coming to your house and kicking the **** out of you if you happen to do this to the wrong person

SO who takes the hit.... i would assume the courier company, who in turn has insurance against it... so we all have higher premiums across the board because the insurance companies raise prices! lol....
Hmmmmm
Someone steals a £500 GPU, then you contact the police.

It is ridiculous, oh and not to mention if ever I had to return something I had bought I had to pay my return costs myself. Ebay are basically telling you to accept the return and you fund the return bill too, it's pathetic from them.
Im sorry but the OP is a numpty.
The Buyer hadnt started a claim, so the OP told him too. (Set him self up there).
Then wonders why the Paypal balance is in the Neg??? You just started the claim mate thats why.
Your chat logs look stupid, DO you seriously not understand how ebay works?
Paypal is just a service, not a credit agreementMy only worry is getting a black mark on my credit file (if that's possible)

The worst they can do is close your account.

Exactly.... they cannot send baliffs etc as they are not a regulated financial institution like a bank. Its pretty much a civil matter as regards the law afaik.
