Also keep in mind that Ebay has a little known policy that requires the seller to obtain a signature on all items valued over $250.  Yes, this is true and I know because I almost had to take a $750 hit.  I sent an item to a buyer via UPS, so I had the tracking number issue covered, right?  Well, the driver left the item at the buyer's front door and then buyer says he never received the item, so Ebay forced me to refund the total purchase price plus shipping.  Thankfully, I insured the item out of my own pocket and after a 3-month bitch session, UPS finally paid the claim.  So seller's beware and keep this in mind when shipping.  Just so you know, UPS charges about $5 for the "signature required" option when shipping. Not sure about USPS or FedEx.
