It is my belief that Jill is just offering advice on how to avoid these types of concerns in the future. If you mail a package get a delivery confirmation # and share it with the buyer. PURCHASE insurance if you don't want to self insure. I checked Jill's feedback and noticed that on the last transactions that in her selling, she shipped out buyers packages with insurance. I believe that this should be common practice so if the package does not arrive that you as a seller are covered and can show through tracking that the package was accepted by USPS and follow it to the buyer.

Just as an aside, this is another reason I don't use USPS, their tracking (or at least their normal tracking) stinks. Fedex and UPS are much better, not only do you get step by step tracking, but they also require a signature (and keep a record of it) for insured packages. Yeah, it's a little more expensive.
Wow, buddy.
You've been here how long and you're going to have a long-standing and respected member of the forum removed? Get over yourself.
Let me put things in perspective for you. I've purchased a number of knives, Microtech OTFs included, from members here but I can assure you that not a single one of my future purchases will be from you.
The buyer paid you and did not tell you to forgo insurance. You owe him a knife or his money, end of story.
Brewcity 59 you can stay out of this it does not concern you. But my account is locked now that a case has been opened up so I guess you will have to go that way now this coudl have been much easier I also use paypal for other things like providing for my family so thanks everyone this worked out great i was only give about a hour and half to give a full credit and i had not hard from steve in email yet

Sorry dude, it concerns us all when it's posted here. You will just have to suck it up and deal with our valuable opinions.
(and that's what happens when you drag your feet and don't keep up with your responsibilities as a seller
maybe next time you will take them more seriously, we can hope so anyway:thumbup

Time to man-up.
well this is the last you will hear from me on the subject i will work with the buyer and pay pal from her on out. Jill jackson you need to get a life a least this is my day off work. I doubt that very few people in this world value you opinion on anything.
brew city can you read he opened a case with pay pal my account is locked and I already said I would give a credit. does it make you feel better that you think your some kind of security guard for the site do you wear a badge. Just keep eating your potato chips and find some one else to bother

You may want to reread the rules and peruse suggested guidelines for a good buying/selling experience here.
If you believe your experience here is enough to suggest rewriting the rules so they meet to your satisfaction, there is a proper subforum for that.
Love the internet bullying line.
All your posts @BF, besides this thread, have been in the exchange.
You may want to reread the rules/guidelines/suggestions on posting etiquette in a sales thread and perhaps on a dealer membership...
From a previous sales thread:

"Ha ha ha. Dude, you have alot to learn. If you plan on sticking around the forum and making friends, then don't post any more lowballs and start learning knife values. If you're just shopping for deals you can flip, well then... "
I can make an offer of what ever i want just like you self does not mean you have to take it. it was an incomplete knife and i thought 200 was fare every one has there own opinion. but i do go digging around in all your threads and posting all of your opinions.

You actually did say that you weren't going to pay him back all of the money. That's why he put in the dispute with Paypal.
Seems that you should take a little more responsibility for the situation you find yourself in.
looks like you are miss reading things. I have agreed to pay the 300.00 in a post already the one from right above is an offer i made on a knife why that being brought up i have no idea every one has there own opinion. the matter will be taken care of with the buyer and paypal at this point and i will help in any way i can.

BladeForums is more than a list of rules. It’s a community of honorable people taking part in a hobby we enjoy.
All we have to go on are the facts presented to us. We can’t judge sincerity or honesty from an internet post.
You can’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the knife was shipped. So the burden of proof and responsibility lies with you. You have presented nothing to counter the beliefs stated here.
If anything your immediate hostility and often rambling response raises doubts.
To send out a $300 knife uninsured is fool hardy at best. You really need to include Signature Confirmation on anything over $200 to be able to successfully file an insurance claim.
If you use PayPal to feed your family you need to properly protect your interests and insure everything you ship because you can’t afford to lose use of PayPal.
In all honesty you’ve done yourself a dis-service with your responses. You portray yourself as a victim and have questioned the motivation of members trying to help and even accused the Buyer of trying to scam you.
I hope the Buyer posts receipt of his refund and we can put this behind us.
