As mentioned, an electronic shipping label with a proper Delivery Confirmation barcode gets that service for free for either Parcel Post (also Media Mail) and Priority Mail.
I use an old app called Swordfish when I mail. But it doesn't provide postage payment, so I take it to the window. This also gets a delivery scan that parcels with postage already applied and just "dropped off" usually do not get.
This guy is definitely a jerk. You mail it on Wednesday and he's already complaining on the following Monday?! I have no idea where you from and to, but that's just not enough time to say "it shoulda been here by now!!"
Requiring proof of delivery is a good idea and protects the buyer. Very reasonable. But is this made obvious in the ebay Regs? Or is it a fine print thing? (I do not do ebay.) Such a policy mandates that one use Delivery Confirmation at the very least, and Insured mail if the article is worth some real money. Otherwise it seems you're at the buyers' mercy.
Sometimes people really suck.
