If it is "lost" or "stolen" after that why is it the seller's fault? Did you ask that the watch be insured? I'm not sure that PayPal will reimburse under these circumstances since it doesn't look like this is the seller's fault. I'd be going after UPS.

I think you may have misread YARGH's comment...I see nothing that even implies that he is blaming the seller.  He even stated that he verified the shipment with UPS and they admitted that they had possession of it and now could not locate it.

Unless otherwise stated in the sale, it is the seller's responsibility to place insurance on the item being sold to protect against loss until it reaches the buyer.  Delivery to a transit point does not constitute delivery to the purchaser.

That said, only the seller can go after UPS as the contract is with the shipper and not the consignee...I just went thru that with FedEx
