a certificate of posting proves the PO got it for 75p less
Sweetcheeks - that is a false economy if you really want to make sure your buyer receives it. A lot of the time recorded doesn't actually show delivery anyway, meaning you're still screwed if the buyer doesn't get it, and you can't claim for items any more expensive than normal mail protects anyway."Well, it's election year, Bill, we'd rather people didn't exercise common sense..." - Jed Bartlet, The West Wing, season 4

Buyer gets a refund by Paypal with or without your permission.
