When I said to make sure the item arrived, I actually meant its harder for the buyer to claim its not arrived, when they have had to sign for it.

But if you get a proof of posting it doesn't really matter whether it's arrived or not as you can claim the full cost of the item and the postage from Royal Mail.

As a buyer, if I have the option I will choose a seller who does not say they use a signed for/recorded post. Especially for small items which will fit through the letter box. I am out when the post comes and have better uses for my time than an unanticipated trip out to the sorting office.

I agree, one idiot sent something costing £1.99 by recorded delivery. Nothing in the listing to indicate it would be sent using a signed for service. Sellers who waste my time and money in this way get feedback and stars to reflect.

Be careful because some sellers will presume you are simply trying to get freebies with that behaviour, because that's what it looks like.
