I don't trust ebay or more specifically PayPal, who returned the money to one of my buyers as he claimed not to have received the goods. He later listed the item for sale !!! They would not accept that I had a certificate of posting and that the buyer had accepted my first class post option as he'd bid on the item which clearly showed that postal option.
I only ever send out things by recorded or special delivery these days.
You are not obliged to buy items which state that a paypal charge will be made, as far as ebay are concerned its an illegal listing.
