"we may ask a buyer to destroy counterfeit goods"
I'd be interested in what happens of the buyer doesn't.
I suspect they may be holding the funds pending final resolution. Did you notice why they advise destruction instead of return: because it's illegal to mail counterfeit goods in some countries..
Very interesting. I didn't know that but it makes sense.
It
does tend to make Paypal look like "the good guys" compared to a couple of reports we've had from members here who were disatisfied with how
their claims were handled.
Al,
I'm concerned about Pay Pal being judge, jury and executioner.
The seller said yes, the buyer said no. Solomon, in this case Pay Pal, had the baby cut in half.
It would be interesting to see the reaction if this happened to a Guild.
I know nothing about violins, but these are the lines that caught my eye...
Erica says on the blog she had its authenticity confirmed before selling it, but the buyer disputed its provenance.
...He says mistakes have been made before on the origins of violins...
On the blog, Erica said violin authenticity is always an issue and that, regardless of the label, the instrument was of high quality.
“In the violin market, labels often mean little and there is often disagreement over them . . . I am now out of a violin that made it through WWII as well as $2,500. This is upsetting, but my main goal in writing to you is to prevent PayPal from ordering the destruction of violins and other antiquities that they know nothing about.”
