I do alot of business on E-bay,and know of alot who do.We have had great luck with1) photographing the receipt that shows the tracking # and e-mailing it to the receipient.2)packing small items(parts)in much bigger boxs then they require.The reasoning by the practice is...It's alot harder to ''lose'' a bigger box...duh.And dishonest pacakage handlers have a harder time pilfering big boxes.Just wanted to pass that on.
