MISSING ITEM - whos should lose out?

I bought some shoes for £75 and they have not arrived. Seller says they were posted 10 days ago regular post. Obv they should be here by now.

i assumed they would be sent Special Delivery because postage was £5.99 and I don't think they will be heavy shoes, but seller has said that listing clearly said they would only be sent normal post, and what did I expect for such a low postage cost. She says i should have specified if I wanted them to be posted SD.

I don't mind waiting a little longer in case they miraculously turn up, but if not, what happens next? I think lost items are normally only insured up to about £35 - so one of us is going to be out of pocket.

Of course I think it is her - she should have posted SD. At the end of the day i have no proof that she even posted them at all, or that they even existed. AIBU to make a paypal claim and leave her to claim compensation from Royal Mail as much as she can?

Yup absolutely right! let her say what she will, paypal will just take the money from her anyway. As a seller, insure yourself! i refuse to send non trackable and insure to correct amount.
