He opened a dispute on paypal, saying he believes that I posted it but it hasn't arrived.

I reply saying I have proof of postage and uploaded an image of the proof of postage, offering to refund the £32 once my claim with RM is resolved, or he can claim with the receipt that I'll send him.

Paypal have just decided in his favour and I have to refund him the whole £49! WTF! Odds are the phone has actually arrived, but me nor RM can prove it.

Tough break, but hey, don't lose too much sleep over ~£20 hey ... it's annoying, but not the end of the world.

I have lost £many on postage when I have had to return items to the seller as they arrive and are piles of junk ... ~£20 is easily lost in that way if it is a weighty item. It sux, but all part of the remote selling game I am afraid!! ... I always get annoyed, but then just chalk it up else you get bitter!!
