Whether or not it's permanent isn't the point. Most eBay sellers are doing it on the side, and some of them only go to the post office once a week. If you're starting to get nervous after ten days, that's a good time to send your seller an e-mail. If I ship something, and it doesn't get to the buyer safely, I issue a refund. I don't tell someone, "Oh, you should have bought insurance." I either require it to be insured at the buyer's expense, or I risk eating the cost of the item myself. If I had a buyer do what you're describing, rather than just sending me a polite inquiry, he'd get negative feedback, period. I'd rather not sell something than have to deal with that.
I'm not trying to be argumentive here. But there are millions of sellers one bay and quite a few do try to scam people.
The fact is, I have had several sour deals and $200+ money stolen and nothing to show for it. i cover my bases the way ebay says I can, that is all.
If others want to wait it out until the last minute, that is their choice, but as you can see from the O.P., his choice of waiting didn't pay off.
That is all I am saying.
Another thing, a good majority of sellers on ebay have lots of stuff on, which would mean they do ebay frequently. If their auction states they ship once a week, then on that day, count 15 days. That is more than enough time to get something from one side of the country to the other.
