When selling used books on Amazon Marketplace, should I ship my book to the buyer and pay a little extra for "delivery confirmation" -- just in case the buyer says he/she did not receive it?

Or should I try to save money by shipping it the least cost possible -- assuming most people are honest?

well it's better to pay for delivery confirmation for you to be sure. Not most people are honest, I tell you.

Should remember when pricing items to add $1 for the delivery confirmation. No matter where online I sell anything I always ship with delivery confirmation. Most people are honest by why take the chance?

It's fair to assume most people are honest. But if confirmation costs $1 and a book is $20, if 1 in 20 people (that's only 5%) is dishonest, it pushes you over the edge.

Yeh play it safe. You will be far worse off paying $20 for a dishonest buyer, whereas a few dollars here and there will have a far less impact on your wallet.
