[QUOTE="imrich, post: 1700518, member: 22331"][b]A Failure To Communicate!![/b] [B] I believe you'll find that this is a typical case of "failure to communicate", as both the buyer and seller have unrealistic understandings and expectations. Just because you shipped in a flat rate box without purchasing "signature confirmation", doesn't mean that the buyer received their shipment. USPS "delivery confirmation", if scanned at the final postal site, which I've been informed by a postmaster as optional, only indicates that the package reached that postal site. It doesn't indicate that the package ever left that site. I've had numerous recorded occasions of the package never leaving the postal site until repeated inquiries, and even nasty letters to the postal headquarters, which initiates a letter delivery to the postmaster, and an inquiry for resolution. I've had packages sit idle for weeks until an inquiry was initiated. Your accusation of the buyer being a "Thief" was probably grounds for action, and possible removal from eBay, as I recall a similar past accusation, and subsequent legal action which appreciably cost eBay, was the reason for limiting seller statements. Many past sellers like-wise were quite obnoxious/unreasonable/vindictive. I always purchase "signature confirmation", which would have provided assurance as to whether the package was properly delivered. If you economized and didn't purchase same, a wise buyer can really justifiably initiate severe action if you documented stated accusations. The buyer has every right to expect whatever delivery you promised in your auction, realistically expecting penalization to a hostile seller, who alone has the means to implement proper delivery after receiving payment for product/services. Many Buyers also don't realize that a "delivery confirmation" tracking number doesn't necessarily dictate prompt delivery to them. JMHO [/B]:thumb:[/QUOTE]
