I can say as a seller on ebay, if you do not use delivery confirmation you will get burnt, its worth its weight in gold. All it took was 2 buyers of my items 3 years ago to claim they didnt get them to see a seller has no chance on this. For a scammer this is too easy, they only have to claim they didnt get the item and they did in fact get it but there is no proof and they get the item and their money back, ouch scammers heaven. I bet they order stuff just hoping that it comes without dc to pull this scam. With dc only costing .19 online its a must on every item sent. ALWAYS get DC!

Now if you use dc the only thing the buyer can claim is its not what was advertised. I offer 100% returns so they can just return it and I will give them their money back and have never had any issues with accepting cards back (granted I sell cards that are not common so I am not worried about a buyer switching them to a lower condition one). Now if you are a seller who does not accept returns (imo bad sign on your part) then this can be used to force a return.

Insurance is for the seller, it protects you. I purchase it on nearly every item I sell over $40 and have never had an issue collecting from the USPS. It protects against the buyer claiming the item was damaged in shipment, whether it really was or not, same goes for them not recieving it. Hey lost mail does happen so it will protect you from this happening also, I had a card show up 10 months after I sent it. Always insure expensive items, I once had a package show up that had a rip in the side and the contents were lost or stolen. In that case dc does little but having insurance you will be covered.

Good luck.
