    I encountered some information while i was wondering something.
    I sold an item on ebay and wondered if the buyer wanted to return the item, would he have to pay insurance on top of the postage price.
    while googling i found this:
    scroll down to Alternative return postage arrangements.

    under postage with insurance it states that if the returned parcel has been lost then the buyer gets a refund and the seller keep the money that he got paid for the item. so win win.

    so here is how i imagine the SE:

    1. Buyer buys item from seller
    2. Seller send empty box with brick inside via ebay postage (with insurance to make it more believable)
    3. Buyer gets the item (signs for it)
    4. Buyer send the item back via ebay postage (without insurance)
    5. Seller gets the item (non-tracked) but says he didnt receive it.

    obviously this requires you to know the buyer and hes on in it with you.

    anyone think this could work? seems pretty straightforward.
