    HERES THE THING - looked up the 13 digit number of royal mail website and it states - we have your item - and quotes a post office address for 18th Aug

    assume this means they have never received a signature for it.....

    I shall ring them tomorrow

    confused - i have a migraine!

    That means it has been taken in over a counter, it doesn't mean it has been dellivered with or without a signature. Many recorded items never track any further and a RM claim is still possible with the same time limits and claim limits as standard post.

    15 working days for all standard mail unfortunately. It then takes about another 3 weeks to send a cheque .

  • I had the same thing happen to me. The buyer claimed he didn't get the item and put a claim in via Paypal. I had sent it via Royal Mail Recorded, since in all my years of doing eBay I’ve never had a claim before I checked Royal Mail online and had no record of it. I asked had he checked his local delivery office he claimed he had. I did a refund, I decided to just for once pass it off as lost and at the time because I was ill I couldn’t be bothered claiming from Royal Mail (Value £30). Three months later the item came back to me with a message stating it was not collected from the delivery office within 7 days!

    Needless to say I was surprised...
