Advice on shipping a nice card from US

[whereiswally78]

Hey Everyone,

I won this today ... a very nice card by my standard.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...MEWN:IT&viewitem=&item=190131269121&rd=1&rd=1

Surprisingly, the seller is only asking for $US6 for shipping. As it will soon be a treasured part of my collection, I don't want to be on here with a story on how it is lost in the mail or damaged and I'm not insured (that is NOT a dig at anyone, either )

Not particularly worried about shipping time, what is the best method of shipping to ask the seller for in terms of security and reimbursement if anything does go wrong???

Actually, whilst I'm here asking ebay questions, this has not arrived yet. Given it cost $US20 to ship (my bad for not asking which method):

When have I got until to do a paypal claim, and should I be worrying?? I have sent a nice email to the buyer to ask them to use the tracking to locate it, but if that fails ... ???

paypal claims are 45 days

with the current card, that'll just be airmail, if you're paying with paypal don't worry about it gettin lost cuz if it does you can make a claim.

I think he's trying to avoid filing a claim, as it's such a prized card.

Go with Global Priority Registered. Should have full tracking, and you will be required to sign for it.

Being Global Priority it should arrive within 7-10 days.

Sweet card, fingers crossed, but I dont think we need to. Good luck!

Wow great pick ups! Glad to see you got a Nash auto (x2)

I would ask for registered shipping from the seller. You should be ok.

Cheers

Registered shipping at the very least.

Yeah, who cares about getting your money back. You losing the card will be on your mind for ever.

I go Global priority Express (not sure what it's called now). But 3-5 days shipping, superb

Thanks for the advice and the compliments on my card choice. The buyer was quite happy to send Global Priority Registered for $US10 which is very reasonable.

Cheers
