[sdiy] Second attempt to warn of paypal scammer

[Matthias Herrmann-DEU]

hello bob, hi all,

1st of all I am with you. his behaviour seems idiotic and rediculous.

however, I would have thought that you are the owner of the goods until the postman physically handed them over to the buyer? in the past I thought this to be correct at least for goods you sale.

so I always thought it would be my risk to mail goods not registered, no matter what the buyer paid for packaging and postage.

am I wrong? I tried to google some info on this, but obviously I did not enter the correct terms...

sorry for being this off-topic.

cheers,
matthias
