<p>[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 672185, member: 19250"](Remember, it is the seller's responsibility to get the package to the buyer.) However here's the rest of the story.....because this happen to me as a seller on e bay..... I sold a 1904 O unc. Morgan to a woman in LA. (at the same time I had sold about 15 items packed them up and posted all of them.) All were DC....all were received but the morgan.... The woman lived in an apt. complex. I got an e mail saying she had not received her item.As a seller not wanting a neg. I first went to the post office to do a tracking on the missing package. I got the forms and then was told that the person who purchased the item had to be the one tracking the item or put a claim in for it. So the buyer had to start the paper work not the shipper. thus I mailed another morgan with the paper work and asked her to start the forms. Now she was very cool about everything long story short she did e mail me saying after I sent her the second coin and papers that she received the first and second coin and wanted to buy or pay me for the second morgan.BUT you have no control as a seller or shipper....you cannot file a claim with the USPS again it must come from the buyer! If not your done! You loose end of story...... As a seller I have always used DC and any item over $50 you paid for insurance or I did not ship! As alot of us collectors I am also a PT dealer to horse trade to support my hobby. As such I cannot afford to pay e bay fee's , Pay Pal fee's, etc then take a hit on a $300 coin. I have had other friends who took a return with the box being empty. There should be insurance for sellers... and I can stand making a statement like this because to me insurance is a joke ! If you win you loose! Think about it...life ins. car ins. homeowners ins....like a dog chasing its tail what are you going to do once you catch it?:crying:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
