Thanks in advance,

You processed with Paypal?

The invoice on that would likely work fine, as long as the item was stated in it.

Straight 1 for 1 trade. No money involved.

Yeah sorry, I didn't pay attention for a minute.

I'd guess any correspondence between you two should be included as well.

Unfortunately, I have heard of these situations not coming to a satisfactory conclusion. One way to work around is to actually PayPal each other the approx. value of the prints you are trading. You can always refund one another, it leaves a paper trail, and it is a kind of 'insurance' that the trade will be successful.

I've heard of this done a decent amount but never tried it myself. Does anyone have any more first hand input on how that shakes out in the event of a claim? On the surface it sounds like a great idea but who knows.

you can try doing the paypal thing but being after the fact, i dont think its going to help you. theyll probably see the transaction was after the ship date.

Sent a package to NY. It was returned for insufficient address. It made it all the way back to my originating post office, and is now going back to NY.

Why do something right the first time when you can have it take twice as long and cost twice as much the second time. Govment.

What are the odds it doesn't come back again?

Ordered a book on 9/26. Shipped 2 days later. Scanned out for delivery 8/5. Still no book. Have called USPS everyday since leaving my name and contact information to a different person each time. Still nothing. The seller and I have both filed claims 2 weeks ago. Nothing. Contacted Consumer Affairs and Post Master General today. Was told they have a good idea of where it's at. Well where's my book then

For anyone wondering it's a 1st Edition Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

Scheduling pickups online, then the day of the pickup I get an email about an attempt to pickup was made or cancellation of pickup and my tubes just left there. Da drymount? 2nd time that's happened.

Had a print get destroyed while in transit a week or two ago. Finally had my other prints arrive this week. One was 4 days late. Another was 3 days late after arriving at the wrong post office and having to be forwarded. And another was 2 days late.

Got to love this time of year.
