[Mccoypottery-talk] a lil' OT - need advice re: eBay feedback

[BarbCrews]

Mark,
Why don't you take the box and all to the Post Office and just file the 
claim yourself.
I just filed a claim a few weeks ago, and didn't have the receipt from the 
buyer. The box was marked Insured.
OH...
Make sure not to take the three good items with you, the Post Office will 
keep them all.
