Lately I've been selling more and more stuff on forums and I've noticed a disturbing trend. I've sold 1 things among here and different forums, and in 9 out of 11 of the items, I was told it didn't arrive... until I sent delivery confirmation number, then I either here nothing, or here "it was delivered to my neighbors", or "my wife got it, forgot to tell me". 9 out of 11 is a high percentage. Just want to warn people to always make sure you pay for delivery confirmation to protect yourself, not saying that 9 out of 9 of these people were lying, but I have a feeling that some were looking to reverse charges had I not got delivery confirmation.
When selling always use delivery confirmation!

It's also helpful to the buyer, so they can keep track of the progress of the package, and know when it arrives! The mailroom at my building didn't notify me of a package arriving, but when I received delivery confirmation I had the knowledge that it arrived, and went back to the mailroom, and they checked. And found it after misplacing it. Good points.
I'll only ship with signature required.
It costs a few dollars more, but it a good practice.
