The same “no proof of delivery” can also work against you when selling. Buyer pays with paypal, picks up the item then buyer puts in a claim to PayPal stating no delivery . . You lose the item and the money. Never ever ever take a PayPal payment if the buyer is picking up the item. Ie no proof of delivery.
This is also a rule of thumb if you're selling to people on 30 day accounts - don't ever use couriers who don't provide signed proof of delivery (ie couriers please) or you'll be processing credits for goods you know they received.
