I feel the best way to deal with these issues is to have open communication from both parties, this will decrease the risk of something like that happening.
I think it's a crock when a seller states that he is not responsible for lost items--what's to stop him/her from collecting my money and not shipping a thing and telling me "well, I shipped it last week."
The buyer takes the majority of the risk that's why I've learned to stick with seller's I know and trust.
