    I don't get it either but from another pov. What's to stop a seller photographing an item with the correct date on it but then damaging item immediately afterwards?

    Assuming someone was crazy enough, they'd pretty soon have enough negs to warn others off.

    I didn't actually mean that's what a seller would do. I meant that I couldn't see how a date stamped picture would be able to be used to prove anything (as talked about in post #2) All it would mean is that the item was ok at the time of taking the picture. What happens to it between putting down the camera and putting it in a box is anyones guess.

    Ah, I see. Agreed then - if PP accept date stamped photos then they're naive.

    The date stamp suggestion was something Paypal suggested to me, when i had a buyer damage an item of mine. I knew it was fine when i sent it, and they suggested that in future i take date stamp pictures as proof. So handy bit of info to no for some i hope.
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T
