I hear what you're saying sdot, but I don't know how safe all of that really makes me in reality. From what I've read online, USPS insurance claims rarely get paid (and seem to only cover items lost in transit, or proven to have been damaged in transit)...not items that are delivered and claimed otherwise. If the post office can track the insurance number and find that the package was delivered, I don't think the insurance would cover me. Therefore, if paypal doesn't recognize insurance numbers as proof of delivery, I'm totally unprotected.
It wouldn't be very easy to make it a legal issue either, as their claim would only be made through paypal, and not actually brought against the USPS. As far as the USPS would be concerned, there would be no claim made against them...only me filing for insurance for an item, that their insurance tracking shows is delivered =/
Like I said, my buyer seems to be cool, so I'm not that worried. I'm just saying that it's important to know whether or not USPS insurance numbers count as tracking in the eyes of paypal, because if they aren't recognized, you could be taken advantage of.
