[QUOTE="kanga, post: 671983, member: 9270"]Remember, it is the seller's responsibility to get the package to the buyer. So such postal options as Delivery Confirmation, Insurance or Registered is strictly for the seller's protection. If the USPS records show delivery via a confirmation number, the seller is off the hook. It's then up to the buyer to deal with the PO and find out what happened. If the USPS records [U]do not[/U] show delivery via a confirmation number, then the seller has to deal with the PO. If there's no confirmation number, i.e., no DC, Insurance or Registered, and no delivery, then the seller has to refund. EVERYTHING I sell on eBay goes out with DC. And above a certain amount ($50 in my case) I take insurance. eBay has things leaning so far the buyer's way that as a seller you HAVE to operate this way. The REAL scam on eBay is buyers (supposedly) returning items for a refund, then shipping back an empty box with DC. PO shows you got the package, but you don't get the item back. eBay sees something returned so forces the seller to refund. The seller ends up with no item and no money. Short of not selling on eBay, I don't know how to counter this scam.[/QUOTE]
