What a bummer. I want to do this trade, but she wants to ship at the same time. I just cant do it. :negative:
I’m just thinking off the top of my head, here, but why don’t you each do a trade with money as the intermediary? Pick a reasonable value that you’d each sell your piece for (both amounts being the same). Each of you PayPals (…argh. where’s my grammer…) Each of you sends via PayPal that amount to the other. On receipt of the payment each ships their sculpture, insured, to the other, keeping a record of the tracking number etc, and each calls the deal OK on receipt of the statue in good condition.
If there are any serious problems you deal with them appropriately: if you get a brick instead of a sculpture, complain to PayPal; if you get a broken statue, file a claim to the shipping company or complain to PayPal.
As I say, I’m just throwing out an idea. I cannot vouch for its practicability. For example, I don’t know to what extent PayPal is willing to be involved in disputes.

PP would deny the claim though. I just went thru something similar with a pair of shoes that never arrived. 👿 Then I would be out the statues and the money. I think you are on to something, though, if you are thinking of us not shipping them at the same time and instead acting like we are selling them to eachother… offering refunds via PP once the statues were received.
