Shipping receipts are a must, but paypal also requires shipping to a "confirmed" address in order to defend against an "item not received" claim. It's amazing to me that pp almost always gives the buyer the benefit of the doubt.

Pay pal and eBay have these policies for a reason. It makes buyers more willing to use this new form of technology of buying/selling when it came out. Without this protection people would not be willing to send money to random people. Although, there are some bad people, I do not really see any other solution or way of doing things.
How about not having PayPal and eBay being crooked themselves?
Sorry to be off topic, but how are pay pal and eBay crooked? Sure, they make their own rules but we have choice on whether or not to use it. I think eBay and pay pal has revolutionized online shopping for the better. I agree there are some issues that people complain about but no one ever says what the solution is.
It happened a while ago (about a year back), he claimed he never received the package, I didn't have signature confirmation and once the package showed "delivered" I tossed the receipt. I had no proof that it made it too him (even though I knew it did). So it was partially my fault, but still can't believe some people are like that, they get a deal and still take advantage of another. But I learned from it and hold onto all of my shipping documents months after the delivery. In saying that I can relate to being ripped off, but have been fortunate not to have it happen from livestock that I was shipping. Now buying coral and not receiving it is a problem I am dealing with now.
Besides the fact that they make money on the same auction twice?
They offer tons of buyer "protection", but none for sellers. This "protection" is really just means of a way to allow buyers to commit fraud. They are also not a bank, meaning that they can do whatever they want with your account and money for no reason. They have no real rules that they have to follow.
Paypal is great if you are the buyer and horrendous if you are the seller.
feel free to Google some of the many paypal horror stories.
