UHHHH, try that again???
I traveled alot in the Air Force. Was in Minot for 2 months and my next stop via OK was Tucson AZ. Talk about a change of weather!!
Oh! My sister retired from the Air force. She was one of the first 10 women to fly Jet airplanes for the Air force! She then taught at the acadamy until she and her husband retired.
I was one of those living in those little trailers setting about 75 yards off the edge of the runway.
Lol! Noisey, huh?
I have worked for the government, but I never was in the service. I remember when my sis went in , right out of purdue. My Mom was sooo proud of her...I thought she was a little nuts! LOL!
There is a lot of noise in the trailers and they were well insulated. We usually didn't notice the planes unless we really listened for them.
Well... getting close to my bed time, so will say Night All

A bit of warning. You have less than 30 days to start your complaint on ebay and paypal. Do not do what I did and try to be nice about it. I waited to long so now I am SOL on 3 items. I can not afford to do that again.

That is true, Shop. Sorry it happened to you. A lot of the shisters play on your kindness for time..and then they play their game again on another unexpecting bidder. It is better to register the complaint at maybe three weeks and cancel it if everything turns out alright, than to wait too long.

Insurance is always the answer, but sometimes it is not cost effective if the value of the good is low.
The answer in most countries is to get some sort of certifcate of posting. At least you then don't think the worst of the seller.
The converse problem is cash transmission to countries where sellers won't accept PayPal, Credit Cards or Money Orders. I have lost $60 to a German seller and I still don't know if he genuinely did not receive it or not. My advice here is to disguise the parcel as something else - try and hide the notes in a booklet - if you can wrap it in kitchen foil to avoid the mail scanning system discovering it is notes.
Always risky this!
Finally, being a miserable, humourless old git, would anybody like to join me in starting up an AS thread dedicated to hints and tips for the suppression of rotating, flashing and overlarge Gifs in the various forums?

You are certainly 
here, but as you can see, most of us enjoy our animations and gifs! There are threads such as that in the park on ebay.

Here in lovely down under land we *senders* can submit a *lost item* claim to Australia Post for up to $50. So I dont bother with insurance for items under $50...all you need to be able to do is prove you shipped it. If you dont have a receipt you can sign a Statutory Declaration saying what date and from where you shipped the item and its worth.
I had 3 claims in with Australia Post at this time.

Hey Lexie, how are you? 
That is kool. Wish we had that here. It cost us 1.30 for ins. up to fifty dollars, US mail. Either the sender or buyer can claim it but it takes forever and and a lot of paperwork. And, there is no insurance on many things going US mail out of the country.
