Who is using eBay/PayPal these days?

My daughter and I just started selling on E-bay although I've bought quite a few things over the years. We were having pretty good luck until I got an E-mail over the weekend from a buyer that says he didn't receive an item. We had been shipping everything priority mail with a tracking number so I didn't think it would be a big deal. I tracked it last night and it doesn't show any such number existing. I am waiting for the post office to open and call and find out what the problem is. I am sending the buyer another item this morning because I'm sure of what he's telling me, especially since I tracked it and it doesn't show up for me. This problem isn't E-bays fault though. I had bought a call from a gentleman one time that never showed up and he sent me another one. I have always paid more for the tracking number after the call deal, but now I'm not sure that is money well spent. A friend of mines father works for the postal service and he says to insure it for $50. It's cheaper and you get a tracking number. I think I'll check into that next time.
