Frank, Ater many conversations with my local Post Office over the last one and
a half years, They have told me over and over: If you pay for an item and do
not receive it, You do not have to pay for it. End of story. I have also been
told over and over: It is up to the seller (shipper) to insure it or register
it or use delivery confirmation to prove that the item has been shipped. You
should have some proof that you paid- Right? Does the seller have proof that
they mailed it? Also, by saying I am not responsible if it gets lost or, insure
if you pay for it doesn't get the seller out of it. If a seller sends an
unregisterd or uninsured parcel, THEY are assuming all the risk. I would demand
a reshipment or a refund, of course, after enough time has gone by in case the
parcel is lost. If they are not telling you, I mailed it this day, this way, I
swear, and it must be lost so hold on, Then they are full of $@^?.  Regards
John  (AKA  freightmaster)

(...) Yes indeed, in the UK it is possible to get proof of posting for no extra cost. But for a sellers reputation I think the loss has to be made up. Michael Pratt (24 years ago, 9-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
