I have a seller who I've been a bit suspicious of since he bid on one of my auctions. He gave alot of excuses and was slow to pay. After he FINALLY sent payment, I mailed his item (a tie) out via first class mail. I wanted to get delivery confirmation, but was unable to because you can't get confirmation on first class mail. So, now, two weeks later he claims he didn't receive his item. I have some doubt about this since I've never had a first class package lost in the mail. Any suggestions on how to handle this? This person has 32 feedback with 1 negative due to nonpayment.
Thanks for any suggestions.

The easiest thing to do is get a form from the Post Office and send it to him. He has to state that he never received it and then the PO tries to trace it. There are severe penalties for false statements. That usually scares off the liars. In any case, it takes the PO a long time to return with an answer and by then it just might suddenly show up.
