We agreed to trade Final Fantasy 7 (PC) and Hexen 2 (PC) in exchange for Zelda DX (GBC). As usual, I sent out my side of the deal within a few days, and got an e-mail confirmation that Joe recieved it. Two weeks or so went by, so I e-mailed him about the status of the package, and he replied: "Hey, my dad sent it for me, but he didn't get delivery confirmation. :( It should be there in a few days tho."

Obviously, I was very suspicious about this statement, since we had agreed very explicitly to use Priority Mail shipping with *delivery confirmation*. Since that message, he has not replied to *any* of my e-mails asking where the game is or if he heard anything back from the postal service, nor has the package ever arrived (nor a message from the USPS saying it was destroyed in transit).

This is exactly why I require people to use delivery confirmation, so I can quickly go to www.usps.com and check to see if the number they gave me is legit.
