<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3472537, member: 27832"]I had one or two incidents where I left a package in a basket or put it in a slot, and it never showed up in the tracking system -- but it <i>did</i> get delivered. All the same, I decided it was worth my time to hand packages to a postal employee, watch them get scanned, and get a receipt.

I'm also offended that eBay and PayPal claim to offer Seller Protection for tracked packages, but gloss over the fact that they'll deny it if it never gets scanned. They can't really do anything else -- otherwise, it's dead easy to print a shipping label, toss it in the trash, and say "they lost my package, pay up" -- but they should make this very clear and obvious in their terms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
