Hi,
I bought some educational DVDs. I was in contact with the seller on a forum through personal messenger on the forum. So their is a record of our communications.
This is a little of what was said,
" Hi again,
Can you state on the Customs declaration as educational material. As there is no UK import vat on educational materials.
Thank you."

Peter, I gave the package to the post on Friday afternoon. I will go tomorrow morning to see if it is still there and mark it as instructional material.

I replied,
Thanks for doing that Glen. Have a great day

Hi again Glen,
was the parcel still there and were you able to mark educational material on it?
Have you the tracking number for the parcel?
Cheers.

Hi,
You got a till receipt and certificate of posting?
Cheers.
and also,
Hi again,
When can I expect the parcel to arrive?
Thank you.
I've received no reply to these questions.
The seller knows I'm quite starpped for cash, he was friendly and accomodating, saying I didn't need the book as was heavy and would add a lot to postage cost, he even threw in a free DVD. When I first agreed to buy I then pulled out. Then went back to him and he was OK to sell me the DVDs, though a little peed off.
When I asked about a till receipt etc he might not have liked that, doubting his honesty sort of thing.
At the post office would have been required to fill in a customs declaration, he might have used a card to pay. Bar code on the postal frank stamp on the parcel.
The package might well be in the postage and I'm over suspicious.
Though If the seller is attempting to defraud me, what can I do, what protection against the loss of the $115 I PayPaled his email address.
Thanks.
