What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Iowa
Buyer of ebay auction says he did not get 2 separate packages that were mailed to him. We sent him email notification that they had been shipped and have those copies as proof of mailing but wife does not know of whereabouts of tracking numbers.
I have heard so far that the seller is responsible for merchandise lost in the mail but there is a clause in the Uniform Commercial Code UCC § 2-401.(2)(a) stating “title passes to the buyer at the time and place of shipment”. Also, there might be more weight given in small claims to the fact that we shipped two separate packages and he is saying he received neither?
I called ebay and they said it comes down to having proof of a tracking number which currently we don't possess. Ebay did not see a judge reversing the paypal decision to refund the buyer.
The buyer is countersuing for his time in what he calls a frivilous claim. He does have to travel from Illinois to Iowa unless they allow him to call in (will they allow him to call in?). I already have about $500.00 sunk into this transaction with court fees, could I be held responsible also for his charges to defend in what he is calling a frivilous small claims action?
He continually refuses to respond to any of my emails to resolve the matter in any way shape or form, I think after putting so much money into this and the fact that I feel he did receive the packages cause what is the changes of 2 lost packages? I have sent the small claims and a notification of small claims action to that address and he received both of them.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
