Item not received... Fraud ?

[mariemilagritos]

After buying an item a member (from Canada) contacted me to ask if I could ship at a cheaper price (and also avoid paying the sale tax...). I offered shipping the thing using standard mail, no tracking, but at his risk, to which he agreed. Now he has opened a case with ebay for an item not received... Pretty sure that I've been defrauded. Since there was an agreement, at the buyer's request, any chance ebay could setlle the case in my favor ?

You sent the item with lettermail? Without tracking there is no way that you will win an item not received claim. The seller is always responsible for delivery even if the buyer said they would take 'responsibility'.

Yes, lettermail... I was under the impression that I was protected by the terms of our agreement, naively I guess.
