: So Package was delivered at around 09:05am on thursday 22th at the
: buyers neighbour, a 88-year old woman. The neighbour handed the
: package to the buyer at 08:00pm when he returned back home from
: work. In my eyes UPS already made a serious mistake here.

: I hear nothing from the buyer untill 08:33am friday 23th. I receive
: a message from PayPal that the money has been blocked. So, the
: buyer did not contacted me first but warned PayPal and UPS
: BEFORE he contacted me!?

: The buyer then asks me to give him phonecall but due to
: circumstances (I was also furious at that point) I was not able
: to do so in the morning and planned to do so in the afternoon
: around 4:00pm after I contacted UPS myself and I was back home
: from a fair. Unlucky enough my wife and I had a serious
: car-accident on the highway so I was not able to contact UPS in
: ths issue and also not the buyer.
: An accident never comes alone as you know.

: I received this message from buyer friday 23th at 02:20pm
: Just contacted UPS and asked them when they would be
: collecting empty box again.
: There is some good news, apparently UPS scan parcels during transit
: (barcode and x-ray) therefore they should be able to tell us
: where the item disappeared. The weight of the parcel is shown as
: 1 kilo, well it was certainly not 1 kilo when it arrived.
: What a pain in the butt!

: Here is another of the messages of the buyer wherein he tells me
: the package has only one brown line of tape on the bottom of the
: package...he opened it elsewhere. I only used clear tape when
: packing it;
: Abel. Here is the parcel I collected from my next door
: neighbour Doris yesterday evening. I opened it from the top as
: you can see. There is brown tape on the bottom. Did you seal it
: with brown tape? Regards

: Pictures of package. These pictures are taken by the buyer after he
: opened the package;

: Buyer also opened a claim with the police, here some more details;
: For your reference the police crime reference number is:

: Reported to Enfield Police Station
: 23rd 01 09 at 19:30

: Crime reference number is:
: CHS12543230109

: So, this is all I know right now. I also filed a claim with UPS and
: ofcourse I'll have to contact PayPal too. I only hope watch will
: be found and justice will prevail. I feel really frustrated
: about this. Also PayPal seems to be very tricky with these
: things! I, as a seller did (and will do) everything what is in
: my reach to do right. I sent with UPS, fully insured to avoid
: trouble...and now suddenly my money has been blocked...really
: frustrating that is.

: So, I really appreaciate all the help here on this forum, thanks!

: Best regards,
: Abel.
