[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 413871, member: 25"]Just a couple of comments. Most things people are referring to as 'proof' are not that, they are evidence. Their probative value is variable, even a signed receipt is not proof, just strong evidence. Remeber the Godfather. It's not personal, it's just business. By all means summon a posse and go galloping off over the hill, as a personal crusade. It is simply not good business practice though. Consider the loss as a couple of cents less on those 10,000 odd sales and consider the odd possible fraud as part of the business cost like 'shrinkage' in real shops. When I was a prolific ebay seller I took no precautions whatsoever against customer fraud because the incidence of what might possibly be fraud was low enough to be a trivial cost overall, and one that is far smaller than any defensive measure like tracking would have been. Just pay $200 less for your next $10,000 cannon, the vendor won't lose the deal for $200 and you have passed on the loss to someone else.[/QUOTE]
