If you have patience and a bit of diplomacy you can get even with paypal and most credit card suppliers. If a seller goes to the UPS store, for example, and they pack and insure it, neither buyer or seller will suffer a loss. And for small claims, say $150 or less, no need to have inspection or return for claims. Never give up if something has gone wrong. Best to leave all the burden on the shipper, be honest, hope for the best.
