Isn't it interesting that postal clerk all seem to have a tenuous grasp of postal regulations and fees? I can't tell you how many timesI've gotten totally conflicting information about the same issue from postal employees including their phone customer support personnel. FRANC

For the record, here's what PayPal indicates are its guidelines: " Protection for items not received When you ship to the address on this page and provide proof that the item was delivered, you're protected against claims for items not received. For complete requirements, see terms. Protection for unauthorized payments When you ship to the address on this page and provide proof that the item was shipped, you're protected against claims for unauthorized payments. For complete requirement, see terms. " In other words, merely providing proof of shipment is not enough to claim Seller Protection for items not received. You must provide proof of delivery. About a week ago, after the flurry of e-mails on this board, I tried out Stamps.com and shipped my first package by International Air Mail. So far my tracking record on Stamps.com indicates that I've provided Electronic Shipping information. This is NO indication in the Tracking History that the package was shipped by USPS. I'm going to track this package closely to see if delivery confirmation is ever provided and will report back.
