Sold a stamp

I would have thought that the onus is on you to get the item to him in good condition...
 
I think this comes under common sense, never send anything by post of any value uninsured.

There's nothing you can do accept learn from this.....

Paypal will most likely have frozen the amount, and if its been used to pay for other items they will reverse the payments to get the funds back

Oh, how would they do that? I didn't think they can charge your credit card or current account in this situation? They just leave you with a negative balance don't they? I suppose they then call in the debt collectors.

I would most certainly have gone to the police to be honest, hes selling stolen goods :)

Plus id have bid it up to a silly amount just to make sure he got hit with hefty ebay fees

And i may well have paid a visit to his home and relieved him of my property

How would i prove it was my PIV? He lived in Manchester, too far from Edmonton tbh :D
 
To be honest, I would have priced the P+P as special delivery only and stated the price for this option. On such a valuable item, standard delivery should not even be considered.

Also was it sent 1st or 2nd standard? For the £4.10 it would have cost to send the stamp special delivery next day delivery guarantee with £500 insurance cover, surely this would have been an acceptable amount to pay out of the £365, instead of proabably the 0.32p 1st class or 0.27p 2nd class stamp you stuck on it.

I always send items upto £32 via 1st class recorded and never give the option of standard delivery, only the insurance option as people never think they need insurance until something goes wrongs and they don't get their item.

A lesson to learn and good luck with whatever you decide, though I think you should have sent it via insurance instead of standard on that price as you have no come back with insurance with the post office whatsoever, as they don't cover valuable items without insurance.
 
Sending a stamp worth £360 by uninsured post has to be one of the most mind-numbingly brainless thing i've see in a while. Why on earth didn't you just spend a couple of extra measly quid and send it insured? :confused:

The mind boggles...

LOl yea its quite unbelievable rly.
 
Hate to rub salt into the wound, but more fool you sending the stamp normal delivery.

I think both standard and recorded delivery only cover up to about £28 - Special covers somewhere upto £500.

up to £2500 for a small extra charge

standard and recorded are 100x the cost of a first class stamp
 
Wasn't me who sent the stamp, i was just the guy who took the funds and transferred to my bank.

I didn't write the listing or send the item but the listing clearly stated "if you wish to have insurance on the item, please email BEFORE listing ends, otherwise item will be sent standard 2nd class delivery.

So, we followed everything to the letter?
