To all who are not sure re: delivery confirmation...

 

Filling out hard-copies (paper) at the PO = .45/.55c each

 

D/C price if you have a computer & printer (online service at usps.com) = A BIG fat ZERO!

 

Value of getting a printer if you (the seller) don't already have one = priceless!

 

And I can't take credit for this info. I believe it was speedjunkies who brought this to the forum's attention a while back.

Thanx Ricky, U da stone-cold nutz!!!!!

PS: Here's a scary scenario: You buy something $$$ from me, I send you the package with D/C, you open it...and ta da! It's a piece of [!@#%^&^] that weighs appx the same as your item. Now, if you didn't have a postal witness when you opened the box, you is pretty much chit outta luck . 893whatthe.gif

By mailing "toxic" material intentionally through the mails, you've committed a federal crime. Wait till the run some tests on your dookie (blood/fecal/DNA?) and trace it back/prove beyond a doubt it's yours... 27_laughing.gif

So has eBay acted any further against you at this point? Damn! I'm gone for a while and look what happens! grin.gif

 

In a related story - A large package I sent to Belgium appeared lost after almost 2 months with no delivery. Thankfully the buyer new the risks without insurance and didn't give me a bad time (though I still felt horrible).

 

Luckily the package was delivered shortly thereafter much to everyone's relief!

 

Ebay is a major pain sometimes...hope this works out for you!

tongue.gif Thanks Joe. smirk.gif It would seem that beside the 'porno' tie, I'm also stuck with my one MVS purchase... grin.gif

 

Work is VERY slow (though I'm home now) so I'll probably be posting more often than before. At least for as long as I'm currently employed. wink.gif

always keep receipts - just a good habit for life in general;

 

 

Good advice. thumbsup2.gif

 

Stupid question time: Did he contact his post office? I've had this happen twice were the package was sitting at the post office and NOT lost.

 

What really sucks is if the package does turn up he's got your book and $$$.
