I am glad that this ended up happily. But as someone who makes a living (and it is hard to do) on eBay I believe that the ultimate responsibility rests on the seller to get the item to the buyer. My feedback is nearing 5000, I have dealt with one or two crooks in all that time. I buy DC so that I know if the item has arrived or not. I insure items over a certain value. I include the insurance in the shipping on the front end-after all, if I am selling a 53 Mantle, I know it is going to go for x dollars, so I know what to charge for shipping.

I have had to issue a couple of refunds over the years, and even those items eventually show up.

As was stated earlier, if Macy's ships an item which you bought and it doesn't show up, Macy's doesn't just say tough, they make good on the purchase. Insurance protects the seller, because it is up to the seller to complete the transaction.

Just mho...
