Disgusted at ebay/paypal/buyer...

Uncertain, I'm not quite sure why you are being contradictory to someone who is giving the exact same information as you.
UK mail, sent standard or Recorded Delivery, is compensated up to a maximum of £41.00 (which is the 100x 1st class you are talking about). Anything worth over £41 should be sent by Special Delivery, or have extra insurance added, which is why jaminewhiskers is pointing out that the incorrect service was used.We have removed your signature - please contact the forum team if you are not sure why - Forum Team0 -
What do you suggest if the item is lost in the system? Sue Royal Mail?
Not at all, things do get lost, it may be so in this case.
My point being which you do not seem to accept is that if there is proof of delivery then a crime has been committed by either the buyer or a staff member in this case royal mail. Either of those options result in a crime being committed if non receipt of item is claimed.
By using Royal Mail's service you have to abide by their terms of service, they do cover you in the event of loss providing you follow those terms of service which i don't think the op did by sending the goods by the postal service they used.
Recorded Delivery is supposed to and does sometimes show delivery and a signature, it is supposed to by default but is so unreliable i would not use it, as for the signature thing that is up to the police and court to determine. Finally yes the police do actually look into these matters i worked for a courier company once and on more than one occasion staff were interviewed and one prosecuted over faking signatures/deliveries.

It's not over the top to suggest the Police and small claims court for something that hasn't been delivered yet?
I think most people reading the police/court suggestion had the intelligence to realise that that was a suggestion as to what to do if it became clear that RM had proof of delivery since that was explicitly what it said.
If they have and a the buyer has claimed non delivery either the buyer is lying, the postie forged the signature or it was delivered to someone else who forged the signature. All of these are crimes.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0 -

Out of interest is it a crime for someone else in the household to sign for item not addressed to them? Also is it a crime to sign for something if your were unaware it was not for you - I only spotted this at the very last minute a couple of weeks ago and was just about to sign how lucky was that (not RM but another courier).0 -

It is if you keep the item yes, it is called theft! 0 -
But I was totally unaware the £41 was the benchmark figure. This is stupid, as the cost of a first class stamp changes. Nobody told me this when I posted the item...
which is why the figure always changes
its 100 times the cost of a 1st class stamp.
now did you think your 75p for recorded gave you unlimited cover?0 -

No.
Providing you sign your own name and hand over the item.Also is it a crime to sign for something if your were unaware it was not for you - I only spotted this at the very last minute a couple of weeks ago and was just about to sign how lucky was that (not RM but another courier).
No, because you do not have mens rae.
See answer one, above.Just what I was going to say.

It is not fraud you have no prove of that
It may well have been lost, unfortunately as others said you should have sued special delivery not recorded, goods are treated differently with Royal MailThere could well be evidence of fraud. If this item is never actually being properly tracked, then the buyer could well just be saying they have not received it....?0
