Yes but how can one buyer be so unlucky though to have more than 2-3 claims of items not received, sounds suss to me, unless there is tampering with the mail by neighbours and so forth but if that was me i would definitely get things sent registered in the mail, wouldnt you??

By the time you would realise that you have several items missing it is bit too late to be requesting registered post.
Over the years, and few thousands of on line purchases, I have only lost handful; the most recent ones were $2 packet (free post) of beads from China, and $4 piece of lace trim from China, now I have close to $50 (including postage) parcel from UK very overdue. It has no tracking; if it did it would not be worthwhile getting it. Previously, there was one item, which I am quite sure was never sent (bit of a bargain), and another bit of lace (under $10). i suspect that as we seem to have a different postie every other day, they are not particularly careful and most likely just delivered the items to somebody in the next street, who kept it. i often get letters addressed to someone else; in next street or somewhere. There is no way I would be willing to pay extra $3.15 (or whatever for o/s purchase) for these cheep items.
Sellers of cheap items have to add few cents to each sale as an insurance, and one goes missing use the money to refund. Simple, no need to bother PP. That is what I do, and if the item is so much that I would not want to cover it if to goes MIT, I offer only tracking or registered. Would not be waiting for the buyer to choose tracking.
