I try and use recorded delivery whever possible, but sometimes the item isn't worth much, and it is easier to just stick a stamp on and put it in the post box.

As for PayPal, I would never get them to force the seller to give back the money, unless I was convinced that the seller never posted it. I tend to trust most sellers (and buyers).

On the good side of things, my Special delvery driving license application arrived before 1 o'clock today as it should have done, so I am very happy with that.

Twice I've had a Paypal transaction 'bounce' after sending the item. Both without Paypal responding to my email I sent them. It's the one thing I don't like - I pay huge fees so I get zero protection when the other person is unreasonable. Luckily in both cases, the printout of the email claiming it hasn't been received by the buyer and the proof of posting have been enough for the RM to reimburse me without having used recorded delivery.
