[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2339287, member: 71234"][I]but you have no way of knowing the package was actually lost[/I] The buyer says they have not received it. It might be possible to prove they had received it,(searching their house, for example) but it is quite impossible to prove they did not. Even being marked as delivered on someone's computer does not prove they have it, it is possible the item was wrongly delivered. [I]Only one person is buying that item from you that is your sample for each instance. Every transaction is independent of the previous one[/I] This is true, but the overall honesty of the group does not depend in any way on the honesty of a specific person. [I] Again I said it wasn't worth it for smaller or casual sellers[/I] It is possible to insure items on an ad hoc basis. With sales of about 50 items a week I'd consider myself a fairly small seller. It was cumulative sales of over 40,000 items, mostly international, that gave me the experience to make the statements about ebay selling and international shipping that I do. My whole and sole point in answering this thread about ebay and international shipping was to pass on my experience of doing just that. I did make enough money to retire on some years ago. I must have been doing something right.[/QUOTE]
