ive sold a hell of a lot of stuff over the years but this situation has never cropped up. so...
ive sold an item, it has been paid for, and i have posted it. i have the proof of postage here.
now it hasnt arrived yet, but the person who is reciving it i feel thinks it wont turn up
now my question is what happens if it doesnt? i have done my part. it was sent 1st class.

registered/recorded = insured? Ask your local post office.

Doesn't have any form of cover  but as you say you have proof of postage? Is this a receipt or what?
I think most users on here would be able to honestly say you're a honest guy, my item arrived fine and in time with no problems.
As far as i can see you've done your part but then again it's up to you how you wish to resolve it...

recorded is insured up to £30
Special: £500 minimum
BTW as AK and Willay said
But I would like to point out that Adma-D is a very good seller though i mistakenly stated Adam-B in 'post your good trade stories' 
less than 24hrs delivery time...

Perhaps the item has been lost on its travels..
Or watching a documentary not so long ago about the royal mail people pinching valuable objects this could have happened if the item looked like it was worth a lot of money...
You have proof that you had sent of the item so its out of your hands now really..

some buyers I had on ebay used to do this:
They ask for normal 1st class to be sent, they receive the item but still claim they didn't reveice it...how dishonest (though I am not claiming this for current matter  )
For peace of mind, always send at least recorded and ask buyer to pay for it (i did )

Should take this as a lesson and send recorded in future.
I can't see why it's a big deal to send recorded, as you can get the buyer to foot the cost anyway.

what is the thing you have sold?
I had a random parcel turn up at the weekend that I haven't ordered or paid for.

If he didn't request registered or even recorded delivery then imo it's at his risk, you can't be held liable for any loss/damage in the post.
