eBay/ebid 10 a day challenge - any joiners?

Yay, my Radley bag finally has bids, it ends tonight. Was worried it would go for peanuts (started at £4.99). Lets hope it does well, cant believe how popular they still are. I have another one somewhere but cant find it!

Well done Tiff, I hope the auction ends well

I finally sold my Sex and the City dress for £55 which I'm very pleased about. I've sold it to a french buyer and I need to post it to France with tracked delivery.

Royal Mail do international signed for delivery, but it's not tracked - it just gets a signature at the end. They do another service called airsure which is tracked all the way to the point of delivery - does anyone have any experience of posting higher value items by either service?

I use airsure a lot with work and have had no problems with it. I avoid int signed for where possible as i've had one too many bad experiences using it. But I don't want that to put you off, I know many people have had no problems with it.

Paypal recommend airsure as without a tracked confirmation of delivery you will lose a paypal chargeback. Remember though basic airsure only covers losses up to £39 including post and packing, so you'll have to add additional insurance at a cost of £2.20

Thanks all for your responses - looks like I've got two options then! Do normal post offices do the airsure delivery? I hadn't heard of it until I checked the royal mail website!

Yup, just ask for it to be sent airsure instead of airmail.

Haha! I'll be restrained!

Soolin; Just had a look on paypal and it recommends int signed for - do you think airsure is the better option?
