Is this suspicious or is it just me?

me neither. I don't normally put the return address if recorded and low value.

It was SPECIAL delivery a different thing altogether. You consider £350 low value? Wish I was you!

Lots of replies from sellers, none of which surprise me.

But what do buyers think? Buying something at £350 and the seller neither puts in a packing slip or even shows any return details on the Special Delivery parcel?

I'm a buyer, I don't think it's odd at all.
What is it that is concerning you, do you have a problem with the items ordered? I just see it that this is often how ebay works. I'm just not sure what you were expecting, not being funny....

I do find it odd to find such a trusting seller who can't be bothered to protect their own interests with a simple return address.

If you read my original post, you wouldn't need to ask if I had a problem. I stated quite clearly there.

Quite.

It seems to me as if they are trying to protect their interests by deliberately not providing any details!

As I said in my first post, everything is fine but it just makes me feel a tad uneasy.

It's not a code. Even us mere mortals can find a FULL address by a postcode and house number/name.

Seems like a case of Paranoia to me as they will be the ones who lose out not the buyer so they are not protecting themselves. Its not some secret code just laziness

This is just sounding paranoid now - they provided the address, just in shortened form - time to move on methinks!
I did read your original post I just really can't work out what your problem is with the seller providing their house number and postcode....... pretty sufficient to the rest of the world.
