Well, the reason I didn't meet the terms of PayPal is because parcel force took it over 90 days to resolve the insurance claim (which I couldn't easily chase as they'd only work with the seller).
Not saying you shouldn't do insured or not use PayPal. Just saying it still doesn't work out sometimes.
As I said, probably still could have resolved it somehow but was well over it.
To be clear, wasn't an LFGSS seller.
Was just trying to make buyer (Z4k) feel a bit better...

Appreciate it 21. Personally been a sceptic about postage insurance anyways as from friends experiences the amount of evidence and work to actually get anyone back makes it super difficult and pretty unlikely to resolve
The initial shipping quote the seller found was £400 for TNT/FEDEX so for him to come back with £60 from somewhere else (apparently Norway -> UK postage ain't cheap) I just didn't even think about asking for insurance
Shame you couldn't sort it in the end
But I can relate the part about just wanting it to be over. Rather than try fight the seller further for money or attempt any other APP claim/legal route people suggested, I just wanna to move past it
Shame it's the way it is. But thats the way it is -

This is where you went wrong, I'm afraid.
Your insurance (PayPal's Buyer Protection), is entirely unrelated to and not contingent upon the seller's insurance (Parcel Force's Goods in Transit).
Put another way, whether or not the seller's insurance pays out (or whether they even have any), makes no odds to PP and shouldn't influence your decision to claim.

How's that?
You didn't meet the terms of the service you paid for.
Entirely down to you.
Sincerely, I'm sorry you lost out; but to suggest that you're blameless and that it might be worth cutting corners when trading is not on.
