Just recently I sent an item priority airmail to Australia, it took 5 weeks. The guy had already left a neg for non receipt but was honest and told me when it came and removed the neg.

I'm sure that was really decent of him - but why did he feel the need to leave you a neg in the first place? :mad:

I get so annoyed when I see that in people's feedback.

If something doesn't turn up check with the seller that they have posted it, tell them it hasn't arrived and get them to either claim from the post office or send you the receipts so that you can do it yourself.

It is NOT NOT NOT the seller's fault if things go missing in the post, you shouldn't neg them for it!

Before anyone jumps on me, I'm not saying its not their responsibility to do something about it when they do know but blimey, give them a chance.

Do you think the buyer is reading this?

Prob. not but it made me feel a bit better........;)

Anyway, there are plenty of other buyers out there, hopefully some of them are reading this and taking notice.

OK, blue-in-the-face time: the buyer is not the customer of the postal service; the sender is and it up to the sender to claim.

Sellers should refund the buyer and then claim from the postal service, NOT expect the buyer to!

Why don't sellers realise this? Gives eBay a bad name!

Actually, either party can claim. But I agree, the sender should always do it.
