    Bank transfers aren't safe for the buyers, only safe for the sellers. Seems this has bitten you in the bum.

    You should always keep confirmation of sending a parcel until the buyer receives it. If you have sent over half a million parcels you should know this.
    I understand this, and yes I should've. The buyer said he received the item only a week later that he called his bank to tell them he hadn't received It. That's why my bank is investigating this one transaction. Any, what will my bank do? What legal authorisation so they have on behalf of my account and the money Sent?
