If a seller chooses to do business with stamped mail and no delivery confirmation, he is setting himself up for a fraudulent charge-back. Either don't send stuff that way or don't complain about a charge-back when someone either doesn't get an item or sees a chance to scam. Since the seller has control over the item listing [where he can specify the postage] and the item packing and mailing, he is the one on whom a mail loss should fall. As a buyer all I am obliged to do is pay the costs and mailing costs that the seller specifies. I do that and I'm done. The rest is the responsibility of the seller and fault of the seller if there is a problem.

For full disclosure, I contacted the seller and told him I was unhappy with his shipping methods. TBH, all I wanted was a refund of $2 because I know what paying $3 shipping as a buyer should get me. The guy didn't respond, so I sent him another message telling him again that I was dissatisfied and I'd appreciate some sort of response. He responded by getting angry with me. I told him that was unfortunate and left not negative, but the other one that isn't positive, can't remember. I proceeded to block him as a buyer and block him as a seller so I don't ever buy an item from him again. Before it went into effect he bought one of my cards and made it clear he had no intention of paying. I canceled the order and he left me negative feedback calling me a liar and a 2-face, apparently because I charge $3 for shipping, but what he doesn't know is that I put the cards I sell in a sleeve, top loader, wrap it in cardboard, tape it, put it in a bubble mailer, and I add tracking. Anyways, I called ebay and they rescinded his negative feedback.
Look, I'll pay $10 for shipping if I'm getting $10 worth of shipping. Throwing cards in an envelope and charging $3 is gouging to me.
