Let me preface this by saying it was my fault for not getting delivery confirmation. I've always had good dealings on ebay.

I sold some items to a guy in Miami, he paid via PayPal, and I shipped the item. I shipped it cheaply (again, my fault), parcel post and forgot to get delivery confirmation. Post office says 10-14 business days. I think everything will go smoothly. Of course it doesn't. He files a complaint on the 10th day and PayPal refunds his money a day later. They didn't even wait until the 14th day. I don't have a deliv. confirmation, so I have no proof it was sent, just my word. I e-mail him saying have a little patience etc etc. He never responds. I guarantee he has the package and he got his money back. I send more e-mails stating, just send the package back or toss the money back in the account, no response.

So I decide to do some investigating. I use the address I sent the package to. End up being a business in Miami located in a string of warehouses it seems (google maps). I find the name of the business and call said business looking for the guy whose name I sent the package to. No one by that name works there. Call again using the name on his g-mail address, same thing. Wish I had the time to fly down there and look into this more.
Oh well, my fault I guess. Live and learn? I just hate dishonest people/thieves.

Wish I could find the guy or at least get in touch with him.

Sorry, just wanted to vent!

Same thing happened to me with some stupid little kid. I forgot to get delivery confirmation, he starts complaining on the 5th day, gets his mom involved, somehow got my cell number, ended up probably keeping my item and I had to refund his money AND I got negative feedback. I hate dishonest people and thieves.
 
Understand delivery confirmation only means that it was dropped of in the zip
Code. You need signature confirmation or use UPS as they will guarantee delivery at the address.
Parcel Post with signature conf is a practically perfect setup

Major cities like Miami. Detroit, LA, etc better get the sig or have it insured
