This cost can be passed on to the buyer as long as you advertise it that way otherwise you may eat this cost yourself.

If you use Paypal shipping, there is a box you can check for signature confirmation and it adds the cost. Very simple and easy to do for own peace of mind.

I have no doubt that signature confirmation has saved me a ton of headaches and also saved me hundreds of dollars dealing with people I do not know who may have otherwise tried to take advantage of the situation.

That's a good idea if you get a bad vibe from somebody.

That said, I have still had people say they haven't received a package that was sent with signature confirmation. When I point out the USPS records say otherwise, they say there must be a mistake, it certainly wasn't their signature.

Then I tell them I would be happy to help them file a Mail Theft report with their local post office......and then........................................cricke ts.
