First I don't know the facts of this case, so I am saying anyone did anything in this case, and it should not be construed that I am saying anyone did anything.

Having said that, I understand that some devious folks feel this is a quick and tricky way to make a buck is to receive a package, say it never arrived and get their money returned from PayPal. The problem for them is that if there is record of them receiving the item (even if it's not PayPal's required method), the receiver can get in big legal trouble-- stealing, fraud, interstade fraud, wire fraud, credit card fraud, etc. In legal situations, it does not matter what is PayPay's preferred/required confirmation method. PayPal's confirmation method is only their choice for their business/business model, and other forms of confirmation can be considered legitimate in a legal setting. In fact, if there is record that he received the package via non-PayPal required confirmation method then turned around and got his money back from PayPal claiming he never received it, that would be the basis and evidence for his legal trouble.

Much to most insurance requires a signature from the receiver or at least confirmation of delivery. If there is a signature in this case or even other strong form of confirmation, the receiver will have to either return the item or give refund or he can be in legal trouble.
