And............ Once again my new fellow Ebayer I am here to tell( teach) you a basic rule of Ebay..


If you are sending a pacakage to your Grandpa.. or even your kids in Ohio. delivery confirmation may not be needed after all if your family is going to say the package never came well then to bad so sad for them..

BUT .. on ebay  delivery confirmation is a 100% complete must have on anything going out  from coupons to a car bumper you have to have it. because you see, without it they can just say they never got it, and ebay and Paypal mostly willl side with them if you cannot PROVE you sent it. paypal will never side with you without proof that you have delivery confirmation or a tracking  number.

I myself am going through this right now a Lady  who will remain nameless  say she sent me an Item... now I don't have the item and she says she does not have it either?? so where is it. when I ask her  for a tracking number she does not return my  messeges, which makes me believe she might not of sent it, or sent it  and now its lost.. who know,., but IM here to tell anyone selling on ebay to strangers you need this delivery confirmation tracking to prove to ebay and paypal that the item was sent.. without it you are doomed and will suffer a loss even if you know you sent this item you will never win. even with money orders Ebay will request the Money order number that you have as a reciept when sending a money order..

Its sad that we can't all just trust that a package or a money order will arrive . but these are the times.

I hope this helps someone... anyone to learn that we are all really dealing with strangers here and when you send a stranger something.,,,  well you better have proof to back it up.Think about it. IF someonme you did not know just walked up to you and asked to Borrow your car keys.. would you not want something to assure that they would be returned? like his licence? something,.

I know that some of us have made good friends here and we often after buyig from a person over and over begin to trust.. and at that point its up to  you as to  if you want to add  delivery confirmation.. but until that time comes.. you are dealing with strangers.  thank you for reading my guide to not being taken ..
