[QUOTE="clembo, post: 500484, member: 8033"]I know what you're saying rdo believe me. Paypal has made this a bigger problem unfortunately. I have never had a problem paying a bit extra for a well package item even it was a bit over what the actual postage was. Why? because in many cases an employer is paying someone by the hour to ensure proper packaging and mailing. When I did more selling personally I would gladly send a coin in a 2x2 with a bit of padding in a regular envelope for 50 cents in many cases. Of course it was at the BUYER'S risk and since I did not accept Paypal I had money in hand when I shipped. I had ONE incident with that on a $10 coin. Turned out he was a regular customer so I sent him a similar item in it's stead. No questions asked as he was a good customer. Now with Paypal it's a different story. If you can NOT document shipping and insurance any buying scammer can claim they did not receive a coin and back out the payment. Hey, I've seen people do it because "after the fact" they decided they paid too much. Too bad in my opinion. If you bid you should be expected to own up to it. I'm digressing again.;) Bottom line is we now require insurance period and the buyer signs for the package. This raises shipping charges unfortunately but no seller wants to ship a coin away that someone else may have actually paid for. Ebay can't seem to figure this out.[/QUOTE]
