and PayPal is no better (same company - what more can I say).

I currently have a buyer in the USA (a pinball PCB direct from my website, not eBay) who disputed the transaction through PP and straight away escallated it to a claim thus removing any option for me to respond.

He did this 5 days after buying when delivery will take at least 14 working days. I think it's an obvious scam to get a free board. He is now not responding to my emails and he will get a free board - I will lose the board, the overseas postage of $14 and the PayPal transaction fee of about $4

Homepin is a hobby business and run on a shoestring. I pump many tens of thousands of dollars into it because I like doing what I am doing. The $100 loss is neither here nor there BUT I dislike thieving F*CKTARDS !

I send all boards air mail but not registered as the extra cost, $10 plus the extra work for me filling out the paperwork is just a waste of time and money.

I will be forced to make people pay for registered in future or pay as a 'gift' to avoid this bullshit.

It only takes a few bad apples to ruin a good thing for others.
