eBay problems and the postoffice

[mic]

evenin

so last week i purchased somefink off ebay. it arrived on wednesday. i changed my mind and didnt want it. messaged them saying exactly that, can i return it. they replied and said yes, send to xxxx address.
thursday morning i take it to the postoffice, pay for 1st class potage. she puts the stamp on it and gives me change. i get back to the car and realised i didnt wait for the receipt.
messaged the seller on ebay that id posted it back
friday evening sent another message hinting to let me know when it arrives. replied saying it hadnt.
messaged him yesterday afternoon saying if it hasnt arrived by the end of the day can he let me know and ill try chase it up. not arrived, asked me for parcel tracking number.
this morning i went back to the PO and explained i didnt get a reciept, could they track the transaction on the system and let me have details or look themselves. lady said there would be no tracking number as it went first class, not recorded.
i messaged the seller back saying that this morning and have had no reply all day.

so, have i lost £45 i wanted refunding? is there anything i can actually do? i have 380+ positive feedback, if i open a case stating ive been fucked over hes just holding back refund will they laugh at me or give me the benifit of the doubt? his feedback is high 90% but a few negs about postage.

what should i do?!

Not a lot you can do. You are now relying on the seller being honest and admitting they have received it.

If you dont send it recorded then at the very least make sure you have a proof of postage or you are as good as throwing it in the bin when you hand it over at the post office.

You wouldn't accept "I posted it, not my problem" from a seller. Why should they accept it from you?

Recorded delivery or GTFO. Sorry.

If you sent it with no tracking, then there's nothing to track it by.

If it has gone missing in the post you're going to need to claim for the value of the goods from Royal Mail, hopefully you chose a postal service that will cover the cost of the items in the parcel.

even if it was tracked / recorded I don't think the post office cover ebay transactions

The receiver has no contract with the courier though.

It is the person who posts it that has the contract, therefore, if it goes missing when he posts it, and he wants his money back, it's his responsibility to place the claim.

You can £20 compensation from Royal Mail. But if you only posted it last Thursday then it could well still arrive.

380 feedback and you don't know not to send things without tracking?

[anthony_r6]

Under no circumstances do you send anything without recorded delivery, minimum. I think Royal Mail will tell you to wait 15 days before you can start to raise a claim.

I am reading this right.

You bought something, didn't want it so seller accepted it back,you sent it back without getting proof of postage.

The item went missing, now you want to know if you should fuck the seller over by instigating a claim against them.

nice.

no you shouldn't, you should man up and take the hit. it's not the sellers fault your a tard.

Although I've fucked up I'm not the one with dodgy feedback related to deliveries. I'm wondering if there's a slight chance whether I had the receipt or not if the seller would admit receiving it. Hence originally saying I wonder if I could trace the delivery thru PO records so I could at least put a claim in.

And to add, it's not lost yet. RM do not consider it lost until 30 days(or something like that).

It's just delayed.
