Sellers are suckers.

Yes I am a seller and sell different accounts for different type of items I sell.


 


We all now know that as April 8 postal charges have changed.


 


All items will have tracking on them when sent through the post office.


 


That a good thing as it proves the seller has sent the item...


 


Is it not when listing on ebay a contract between the seller and buy. Ebay has set the rules and 99% of sellers abide by the rules.


 


I see a lot of comments that a seller to protect his items should pay  for a signature and or or insure items because of value etc


 


Times are tough and competition.. profit margins for most are lean.


 


Why is it when give a buyer a list options 


Proof of delivery and or insurance and the buy does not take or want to take any option have a recourse on the seller.


 


I had one case where I required a signature and got message back never received. On checking I was told by the buyer that is not my signature..


3 things could have happen.


1. Incorrectly delivered and signed for


2. Some one else in the household signed for it.. eg room mate etc


3. A dishonest employee signed it.


 


Should I be responsible? Personally I refuse to replace item when I have proof that I sent the item.


 


The question is, if you offer signature and insurance who do you think is responsible if no option taken?
