They have already put a hold on the money he paid and have asked him to wait to see how I deal with the issue. As far as eBay are concerned, I have to deal with the carrier, I have to sort everything out and I have to make the buyer happy or they will step in and most likely give him back the money.<br /><br /> I did pay £1 extra for insurance up to £100 and the shipping company are looking into it - hopefully they'll play ball (I doubt it though)<br /><br /> ~~~ Why would anyone sign for this ? ~~~</div> <div class="message_attachments"> <span>Attachments:</span> <ul> <li><span class="image attach"></span><a href="get_attachment.php?webtag=DEFAULT&hash=2cef28667fc0e08db8629d89ff8730a7&filename=lathe2.jpg" target="_blank">lathe2.jpg</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41424.38&return_msg=41424.38" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41424.38"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41424_39"></a><div class="message" id="message_41424_39"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: JonCooper<span class="message_time">16 Mar 2015 12:41</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 16 Mar 2015 12:42"></span></span> <span class="message_count">39 of 124</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41424.39">41424.39</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41424.37">41424.37</a></div> <div class="message_body"> your version is how eBay see it <span class="emoticon e_sad" title=":("><span class="e__">:(</span></span></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41424.39&return_msg=41424.38" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41424.39"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41424_40"></a><div class="message" id="message_41424_40"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">16 Mar 2015 12:42</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: JonCooper <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 16 Mar 2015 12:46"></span></span> <span class="message_count">40 of 124</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41424.40">41424.40</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41424.38#a41424_38" target="_self">41424.38</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I find it hard to believe someone would sign for that, or that the shipping company would even attempt to deliver it like that.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41424.40&return_msg=41424.38" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41424.40"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41424_41"></a><div class="message" id="message_41424_41"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: JonCooper<span class="message_time">16 Mar 2015 12:51</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ANT_THOMAS <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 16 Mar 2015 12:53"></span></span> <span class="message_count">41 of 124</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41424.41">41424.41</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41424.38#a41424_40" target="_self">41424.40</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I'm going to wait and see what the shipping company has to say about it, if they will pay then \o/ yay<br /><br /> If they say "no" (which I suspect they will) then I will be trying to pass that along, the problem I have is that eBay are known to side with buyers in almost all disputes so I could be SOoL <span class="emoticon e_sad" title=":("><span class="e__">:(</span></span><br /><br /> There is another possibility, eBay do occasionally do a 'no fault' refund -
