Hi Paul, nothing worse especially when your honest and trusting and someone does that. Do think you made a very bad mistake in sending records out on trust before the cheque cleared. Secondly when wheeling and dealing on ebay you should always before any posting takes place ask in emails if the person is not happy will return items recorded or registered, that way you have a sound agreement for a small claim in court as evidence, or a claim by baseball bat . If you took someone to court and the person turned up and says he posted records the case would be slung out as its your word against his causing you even more expense. Always remember whilst most people are honest theres always people out to ram you in all walks of life, just got to be on your toes trust no one unless you know them. Name the guy see if anyone knows him then he maybe get back to you Starting to see more and more of this happening pretty sad.
