I have been on ebay long enough to have met some ebayer who like not to pay for items ,therefore i always send items 1st recorded as this is accepted by paypal and both parties are covered,,i would reccomend sellers to send items with as much proof as they possibly can,, after all we are blank faces on the other end of a keyboard... i have met some wonderful ebayer though and have a lovely circle of ebyaer who i can email and we answer questions which is a great community thing.,. i always listen .. if you don`t already ,,make use of the paypal and royal mail printed label system its so easy once you know how and it comes out of your payapal not pocket which meens items can get sent quicker too..
