i reckon the buyer, has just lied about not recieving it, i have had lost at least 4 parcels from ebay before, when they werent recorded you can find it very hard to get your money back, they asked me for proof of posting, so i photocopied my reciept and sent them the real reciept, then they asked for some other documents, and so i had to send the photocopied reciept and the documents, and then they worte another letter saying the buyer wasnt responding to their ONE letter and that i had to send the ORIGINAL reciept, which i didnt have anymore as i sent it the first time. Royal mail really do piss me off sometimes. so i cant persue it anymore and i lost £25 that time which i know isnt anything near what youve lost but overall ive probably lost or been scammed out of at least £60
