I have been selling for over 20 years now and I send anything that sells for over £10 using a tracked service.

Buying your postage through Ebay doesn't really protect you at all.

I would advise using a tracked service - it's for your benefit, not the buyers.

Tracked 48 offers cover up to £75 and you also know if the buyer's claim is genuine.

"There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”
Søren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher (1813 - 1855)
