WOW alloy, that SUCKS....I NEVER ship something that valuable except via fedex or ups WITH signature confirmation. I know if international that is not always possible...I think UPS is the ONLY company that has that for international (and it is EXPENSIVE). I had a cell phone "lost" like that once...so my policy went to the one 2 day international shipping that gave signature...no one has taken me up on that due to the shipping costs LOL.

Anyways, anything valuable, I only offer that sort of shipping and they MUST have signature confirmation...and the BUYER pays for that...period end of story. It is about the only thing you can do....because if I have sig confirmation, then I will go up the chain on Ebay if I had to...but I probably wouldn't with sig confirmation.



I have heard all the horror stories...ALL items I send now have pictures taken of the entire shipping process in case someone what to act like a jackass....plus I either put a non noticeable mark (with a pic) in case some yahoo tries to send me back something that was broken in place of my item. Just stuff people need to do to protect themselves...and it shouldn't be that way. EBAY should be HAPPY we sell and fair for both sides.

In fact, I had an asshat tonight "change his mind" on a purchase before I sent it...guess who is opening a non payment case on them tomorrow?? At least it will be a strike on the account (I already spoke with cust ser about it and they advised me to do go that route).
