I sent to UK quite a few times using EMS which requires signature early last year. I don't really remember if signature showed up on USPS website but i remember that it did state 'delivered' via online tracking. I was covered under seller's protection when buyer tried to file item not received.
From what I know from other friends who had 'item not as described' recently, the buyers were required to send items back to them and provide proof of delivery.
As for reversing charges after I bought certain stuffs, it happened once. I still didn't think it was my fault. I was travelling and I did notify Paypal before I paid that I wasn't in the US but I would like to pay for the item using Paypal and shipped to my confirmed address in the US. I had the 'go ahead, it has been noted on your account'. But within 2 hours of paying, Paypal reversed it. I wasn't aware of it till 2 days later. The seller had sent insulting emails one after another calling me scammer/lamer/son of a b*t*h. I actually bought from the seller 3x before within 3 months. I explained to the seller but he still cussed me out in the emails and told me to F off.
I called PP and mentioned that I did call PP and gave the heads up that I was travelling. The rep told me nothing they can do, it's the system since IP is different/international, auto flag the payment.
So far if I were to use PP to buy anything, as long as I'm in the country where I registered, I never had them reverse charge.
