Rob, Lar:

I don't disagree with any of what you fellows have been stating.  If you want
to sell stuff and refuse responsibility for items damaged in the mail and
state this up front to the buyer, no problem.  If you want to include a proof
of mailing charge in with your shipping charges and communicate this up front
to the buyer, no problem.

I think Frank's problem is that he has nothing more than the seller's word
that he has mailed the items, and this burden of proof lies clearly with the
seller -- it would be great to live in a world where everyone could be assumed
to be honest, but it's just not that kind of world.  The seller needs to
protect himself against this liability or stand up for the consequences of
failing to do so.  I don't know the tiny details of their deal, but the
seller's word that the items were mailed is simply not good enough -- he must
either produce proof of mailing, the goods themselves, or a refund in this
instance.  Where's the argument here?

(...) I'm with Rob on this which is why I disclaim liability as a seller and require delivery conf, it's not an option for my sales. Further, if the buyer buys insurance, my liability is extended only to the point where I am now requiring myself to (...) (24 years ago, 8-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.shipping)
