    ...which is actually what I was giving. I don't expect a special thank you because that's just stupid but it would be nice to know that you were acknowledged for taking time to respond.
    So, let's just get this straight.

    You think that every single post in response to the OP of every single thread, should be acknowledged, even if the OP did not find it at all useful?

    How long have you felt like this?

    There is no way that any forum I have ever seen has worked in this way. This one certainly never has in the past.

    Would you really want to see batches of one line acknowledgements scattered through threads?

    Do you think anyone else would be happy to see that?

    My apologies, I did misread it, you weren't upset at you not receiving thanks, but you were still upset at others not having a thank you for their posts and the rest of what I said stands.

    That makes little/no sense.

    Moglex, In reference to my first post. I felt that mentioning Parcel2Go was important. However, the OP seemed to totally ignore this even though it is actually relevent.

    I think you're going a little OTT on my point.

    It says this on the paypal site. Why aren't other courier's tracking adequate???



    The following options may be used:

    * Parcelforce Worldwide
    * Royal Mail - Special Delivery
    * Royal Mail - Recorded Signed For
    * Royal Mail - International Signed For
    * Royal Mail - Airsure
    * UPS
    * FedEx
    * Airborne Express
    * DHL

    Well, I stayed out of this one earlier because I couldn't see any arguing with RBK's point about parcel2go not being acceptable, but if OP wants to persue PP via legal means, fair play to them. I hope OP has taken on board RBK's point, though, as imo it will mean zero cooperation from PP.

    There really is no need for that.

    I'm intrigued to know how the seller can prove delivery if Parcel2Go isn't listed on PayPal's website as acceptable.
    PayPants are not able to make laws. What they say will have no bearing on how the police treat the case, and may not even have a bearing if a case was brought against them in court.

    Unless they can show there is something inherently unreliable about Parcel2Go's tracking system a court may well decide that they are being high handed and that any term restricting the user from using a perfectly good carrier falls foul of 'unfair terms and conditions' legislation.

    I seriously doubt that pp would ever let a case such as that come to court because if they were found against the genie would be out of the bottle.

    They are far more likely to quietly pay up and continue to use that clause to make less tenacious users believe that they haven't got a case.

    I would agree Moglex.
    If you have POD, then you would surely win your case.
    Be nice
