Another Ebay rant:
I should've have known better to begin with it but never ever send anything to someone on Ebay without a delivery confirmation of some kind. I've done this twice (i.e. no delivery confirmation) through the USPS and both times the bidders have complained they did not get the item. Both times I mentioned I would file a lost mail request (which is BS because I would've had to wait a month to do it) to get it resolved. Both times the item turned around and "showed up" basically the next day. I'm sure what these people were trying to do is get the item for free by saying it never arrived- assuming I would give a refund rather than risk bad feedback. Can't anyone be honest these days! I'm ready to give up Ebay for good if someone will suggest a good alternative to selling fairly obscure items (i.e. next I'm selling a laptop car adaptor compatible with early Compaq laptops).
