Question Regarding Ebay Paypal Claims.

I saw that some sellers in Europe, have an option saying, that if you don't want your item sent tracked by registered mail; just need to send him a message specifying that you take all risks and renounce of any claim in case the item does not arrive, asking also sometimes to receive a poisitive feedback in advance.
Does the message have any legal value if the buyer opens a paypal claim for refund?

I don't know about in Europe, but here in the United States that has no legal weight. ebay & Paypal rules trump seller's rules.

Can not see ebay agreeing with that one.

Great try but it needs a team of lawyers to put it together and then it could still fall very short of the mark.

Wishful thinking is not a good place to be with laws.

It has about as much validity and weight as putting "Seller not responsible for lost/stolen parcels" in the listing... in other words none whatsoever.

Yet some old-school sellers still try it. That's an immediate alarm for "clueless".

Buyers too, occasionally a buyer from Europe will ask for cheaper shipping and agree to accept all risks. Maybe it's an European thing.

I get those occasionally as well and my response is always "I'm sorry but I can't do that". A buyer can agree to anything in email/messages beforehand, but it's nonbinding. As soon as the merchandise doesn't show or is damaged, just watch how fast they file that dispute!

No way.

My favorite is always "Oh, you don't need to insure the package. I don't need insurance."

You're right. You don't need it. I do.

Insurance is for the seller, not the buyer. The buyer is always protected, frequently doubly so (credit card funded PayPal payment = chargeback option even if PayPal protection fails).

"In event of dispute and event of litigations only the courts of Brussels (Belgium) are qualified. (fees for regular envelopes size & weight). Only for these countries: Germany - Andorra - Australia - Austria - Belgium - Canada - Spain - France - Great-Britain - Ireland - Iceland - Italy - Liechtenstein - Luxembourg - Monaco - New-Zeland - Holland - Portugal - Scandinavia - Switzerland - USA."

I do not see this on this vendor's other listings.
