Dear UUers,
I've been doing e-commerce for a little while now but only just spotted a really, really, ridiculous clause under the terms of agreement:
"Further, if you lose a SNAD Claim because we, in our sole discretion, reasonably believe the item you sold is counterfeit, you will be required to provide a full refund to the buyer and you will not receive the item back (it will be destroyed). PayPal Seller Protection will not cover your liability for SNAD Claims."- https://cms.paypal.com/al/cgi-bin/?&...Agreement_full
Which means if you send a guitar to anyone, if they think it is counterfeit, if paypal thinks it is counterfeit, they do not need to prove it is counterfeit before they ask the buyer to destroy the item.
So let's recap. They just need to _think_ something is counterfeit and they reserve the right to destroy it. No need for that pesky step of getting some expert to prove it is counterfeit, if someone at paypal thinks it is, then off to the woodchipper it goes.
By the way, paypal is not at all regulated. So you really have no recourse whatever they decide.
