What I dont understand is how she can chose the postage, the cheapest, and i foot the bill when it goes wrong cause she is too tight to pay the extra. Either way you look at this its wrong.

No, it isn't wrong. Responsibility for arranging a method of safe
delivery lies with you as the seller. If you were not happy to use
one particular method you should not have offered it as an option.


Is that always the case? I know that if the seller is a /trader/, then the seller is responsible; end of story.

But between individuals, is the situation not negotiable? So if the buyer wants cheaper delivery and is willing to take the risk......

Or is that not right?

In this case, it does look as though the OP is a private seller (maybe he could confirm?)
