<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2338678, member: 76863&quot;]Not really.&nbsp; Tracking provides accountability to the postal employees and allows me to make an insurance claim if something happens.&nbsp; It&#039;s more relying on competency when a package can be traced back to its last location.&nbsp; Granted in a lot of countries corruption will override tracking accountability but I would never ship there in the first place. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t believe for a second any insurance company is going to make a payout on an item that cannot proven it wasn&#039;t delivered.&nbsp; Only tracking can prove the item never made it there.&nbsp; Signature confirmation and delivery confirmation are also forms of tracking since they have an acceptance and delivery scan, but no insurance company is going to provide a policy that is based off of your word that it didn&#039;t arrive. </p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of them will even dictate how something must be shipped over certain value amounts.&nbsp; They&#039;re in the business to make money, not to pay out claims. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Would I no, but that doesn&#039;t mean anything.&nbsp; I also wouldn&#039;t murder or rape someone, it doesn&#039;t mean those things don&#039;t happen every day.&nbsp; Just because I wouldn&#039;t do something means nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I assume it because its true.&nbsp; The world is full of scammers and dishonest people.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been ripped off before on ebay.&nbsp; Sold a mid three figure coin to a buyer with signature confirmation and insurance on the package.&nbsp; The post office for whatever reason never got the signature on the delivery.&nbsp; The buyer left me positive feedback for the coin and then two weeks later noticed the tracking never said delivered and filed a claim that he never received it.&nbsp; Ebay gave him a full refund.&nbsp; Luckily I was able to get the insurance claim but it is a perfect example of how absurd ebay policies towards sellers have become. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know other people who have been scammed on ebay as well.&nbsp; All you have to do is look around any coin forum and there are numerous stories of people being scammed by dishonest buyers on there.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s no ignorance of how things actually work.&nbsp; I am very well aware of how things actually work.&nbsp; It is not worth the hassle or the added risk to maybe get an extra handful of sales a year on ebay.&nbsp; I barely like selling domestically on ebay at this point as well due to their policies now.&nbsp; I will sell internationally in private transactions on a case to case basis, but there is no chance I will do it on ebay which is what the initial question was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
