If it were me, I personally wouldn't send the items media mail. It's definitely NOT worth it to me! I've had too many sellers that try to "save a buck" and send items media mail when it only cost an additional $1 or so to send it regular or Priority Mail. I'd much rather pay the additional funds and have the item sent Priority and know it will get there in a few days compared to agonizing over Media Mail and wondering when the parcel will arrive.

To sum up, in the future I would ask your buyers how they want the item shipped. Media mail, Priority, etc. This will save quite a bit of aggrivation on the buyers part. Last year I paid $300 for an item, the seller tried to "save a buck" sent it Media Mail and it took a month to receive. Needless to say I was extremely unhappy and disappointed that the seller shipped it the slowest possible when I paid within an hour of the auctions close! I gladly would have paid additional funds for shipping if he had offered!
