As its under £50, surely sending it 1st class recorded means I am then covered in terms of proving by trackable means & of course I'll keep my proof of posting.
Recorded rarely tracks so it is up to you whether you bother using it. As Crowqueen says with a COP you are covered up to £46 if you need to make a claim from RM.
If you do use recorded it needs to show delivery to win a paypal claim, and that online proof rarely happens in many areas.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

It is exactly the same as for Ebay as long as goods or services is chosen as the item being paid for. The seller pays the same fees and gets the same seller protection. The buyer gets the same buyer protection.Brooker_Dave wrote: »Are you sure?
Paypal for non ebay sales is not all that safe.
Where you have no protection is paying for something "as a gift".0 -
