Not received delivery although tracking says I have...

An item I bought off ebay has not arrived, but the tracking (recorded delivery) states "delivered - no signature." Contacted royal mail but they are being pretty useless about it all. No card left, not with neighbours or anything like that either.
Just wondering where I stand - is there any point raising a PayPal claim? Will the tracking information mean I automatically lose? :(
Seller not being much help either, although can't say I blame them as as far as they can see it looks like it's arrived...only it hasn't! :mad:

    All you can do is keep hassling the RM as Far as the seller and Paypal are concerned you have received it. If the item is below £150 in value (which I assume it is) the tracking doesn't need a signature for paypal just confirmation of delivery.

    Yeah that's what I thought :(

    Guess I'll have to hope it ends up getting returned to sender and they do the decent thing and refund me then :/

    Have you checked on RM website about compensation, I'd chase it if I were you, how can they prove delivery with no signature?
    I don't know though what it says for recorded compensation.
