If you do hand deliver it make sure it's cash only. As people can chargeback Paypal. If you do it through Paypal make sure it goes through a reputable courier or Special Delivery. Providing it sells for a lot mind you.

It's already at the very top of the limit for standard mail, once it hits £42 it needs special delivery.

surely even with special delivery covering you up to 2.5 k , if they claimed it was blank paper ,where would you stand with Ebay , Paypal or the Royal Mail ??

I tend to believe most people on ebay are honest, if I thought every buyer was going to scam me i would give up. If you can't trust buyers then it is back to the original advice of a Bricks and mortar auction house for everything in future.

I trust buyers up to around 2 - 300 pounds or so - if it reached serious money the real sharks would start to circle

Yes you may well find they have pocketed it and then send the envelope back with "RETURN TO SENDER" on it ................gets coat and runs like the clappers

Pembroke

If it were me selling this I'd put the letter and the envelope in separate cellophane or some other sort of plastic bag and seal the bags with sellotape. I would also modify my listing while I still had the chance to say this is how the letter and envelope would be packed. That way there is a record of two items being shipped.
