There is alot of this going on, I have had people tell me how they have done it. I do not often post items and when I do I always do it with insurance and registerd. I like people to collect and pay me cash and even when they collect, if any of them were ever not happy with the item, I would not hold them to it. I am a fare play type of guy, as I also would not pay for somthing on collection if it was not as discribed.
Cheers and happy dealing on ebay its a great site what would we all do without it. Cheers pete
