I posted via Parcel to go and at checkout for insurance I declined insurance due to the extra costs and only charging £12 when it was a lot more insured. Is there some legal ebay law that everything must be insured?

I have been in touch with the buyer over the last few weeks and they have confirmed they havent received it

'Received at McColls, PR9 9JF'. So you didn't send it royal mail?

Theres no law that says send it with insurance, but surely spending the extra on insurance would be common sense to prevent you being out of pocket, even if it doulbled the cost to send.

What did you send?

You could only argue to the amounts listed above... Otherwise you could if said you sent a £99,999,999 necklace and it went missing.

He has evidence from his Ebay auction that the item is worth £650 though?

Would the 3rd party courier not have taken over that bit so could have technically signed for it?

I would have thought that if RM are going to hand it to some other courier then it's their responsibility to ensure the courier completes the job? the OP's contract is with Royal Mail and they haven't fulfilled their part? (I'm assuming that the item hasn't been delivered which it may have).

I'd imagine the McColl's has a royal mail post office booth inside, a McColl's local to my fathers house does the exact same thing.
 
Hmm, I've just been reading RM website and it says what the others say, you'll only get £50 back at best if they've lost it. It seems a bit dodgy to me that they can just waiver responsibility and hand it over to another party though?

At this point I would just assume he's got it and message him asking him to leave you feedback, if it never arrived you'd have thought he'd have made it known by now.
 
You're just asking for trouble sending a high value item like that, all it takes is one immoral person to take it somewhere down the chain and then just say it got lost. Maybe even the delivery driver.
 
Sending anything sold on eBay with anything less than RMSD is insane tbh.

Out of interest how much more was it to send it with insurance?
