Hey everyone, I need some advice and want to see if anything similar has happened to you before.
I recently sold a D700 on eBay and was paid through Paypal. The buyer paid and sent me a message on eBay asking if I could send it to another address. I've never sold anything on eBay before and didn't realize that you're required to send it to the address on file through PayPal. I sent it to the address he requested and after a 21 day wait period the funds were granted to my account. Then yesterday, they were put on hold as the buyer's credit card company contacted PayPal saying he didn't authorize this purchase.
Obviously it was my bad that I sent it to a different address, but it looks like the buyer's account was hacked, and it looks like I may not get my money back if the credit card company wins. If this happens, it looks like I'm screwed. However, this camera is still insured through my insurance company and I'm thinking I might be able to make a claim.
This my question: Since it was technically stolen, what type of claim would I need to make to my insurance company? Will they still acknowledge my claim even though I had intent to sell it?
