Thanks brotha ;-) . I'm peeved something like this could happen. I consider (perhaps falsely) myself to be a seasoned seller. This particular buyer had zero feedback, and I'm aware of all the grumbling about zero feedback buyers. But I've had a hundred or so zero feedback buyers without a problem from any of them.
I just checked with the USPS and confirmed that there is no signature confirmation offered on international shipments (other than the customs forms...which I somehow assumed was enough).
I also spoke to someone one at PayPal in order to get a 'warm fuzzy' about what might happen. He said that usually the tracking number is enough and in almost all cases they will cover me (though it might take a while). Apparently I found out though that the tracking number does not tell them the shipping address (somehow I assumed it would), but that does not matter to PayPal (the rep said that as long as it shows it "Delivered Abroad" it was enough).
Well I feel a little better now. Hopefuly like Dick said, PayPal will take care of me.
