FREE: 100% Imported French ANGORA Knitting YARN (FREE SHIPPING)

Here's my reply to an earlier Listian post on another of my items and what I've received from Listia themselves: Basically about shipping and delivery confirmations and scammers in general:

Eb*y had this same problem in it's early days of inception in the late 90's. I WAS THERE and lived it then also. Also got burnt with some unscrupulous bidders. It's a problem when it involves 3 parties; the bidder, the seller and the shipper. Without a 'proof of delivery' element there can be potential for fraud on both the bidder and seller side and the moderator becomes the judge based on factors of subjectivity (% of positive feedback of bidder and seller, number of seller listings and length as a member (both sides) just to name a few, vs objectivity (proof of delivery for that specific item). As the items value (points) increase the moderator's decision carries much greater impact and with it the greater temptation for the bidder or seller to make a false claim. Unfortunately, there is no way in this society to guarantee honesty. It's a standard the each individual must set for themselves. Mandating that a bidder pay for delivery confirmation minimizes the spirit in which Listia operates so that is why I offer it as an option. An honest bidder need not accept those terms and I have always offered free shipping on my items since my inception with Listia. The option for delivery confirmation is to help (but not stop) potential scammers from making false claims. Unfortunately as a member of Listia and not a paid employee I can't provide a 'sure thing' solution to this enterprise problem. Ebay realized this was a significant problem also and the result was they bought and now own PayPal and mandate that all payment transactions go thru PayPal where they have much tighter control.

Thanks for reading.
