Royal mail lost my item so need to put in a claim to get compensation. They require proof of the value of the item though.

Last time I put in a claim I provided a copy of my bank statement from the sale of the item and all I got in compensation was 6 1st class stamps as it was what they called insufficient evidence. So what am I meant to provide?

Can you find a similar item for sale with its original price, then also show them the transaction from eBay/PayPal or bank account

Get them to buy another one for you and say there you go i told you!

As taylorboosh said ring them and see what they classify as sufficient evidence!

I used to work for Royal Mail Customer Services. What was it you sent, and I'll tell you what you can use.

It was an ignition barrel and lock set for a car. Was sold on another forum but there was no for sale thread so no proof of an advert. I'm probably going to end up out of pocket again!

I sent them a copy of the PayPal payment email, and the PMs between me and the forum member discussing the price. Also the receipt for the postage. Got a cheque for the full amount a few weeks later.

I recently did this. Had to provide PayPal statements showing the funds out and then an invoice from website showing goods.
They argued. Eventually sent me a book of first class stamps because they said there wasn't much they could do. Fuckers.

Happened to me once with a buyer screwing me over on eBay. I sent them a copy of the invoice/paypal receipt and got the full amount back.

As already suggested, PayPal printout or bank statement is your best bet. Bear in mind that it was a few years ago when I worked for them, I bet they're even worse for paying out now
