1) Who did you ship with? (USPS, UPS, FedEx...) USPS

2) How did you send the card? (envelope, bubble mailer, box) Sandwiched between cardboard (usually with bubble wrap) and mailing envelope. Sometimes boxed for small sets or more valuable singles.

3) Did you include a packing slip/business card? (If "yes", was it taped to the card holder?) No

4) Did you buy insurance for the package? No

5) Was the label completely covered in shipping tape? The address and my return address were covered with tape but not the tracking information

6) Did a partial package arrive with no contents or was there no package at all?[/QUOTE] Package was "lost"

Final comment: We have actually "lost" a half dozen parcels in several years of eBay selling and more than one indicated (via USPS tracking) that the parcel was delivered. We most recently (last month) lost one somewhere between the Puget Sound and Greece. USPS tracking is of dubious value. (We once had a very valuable package - sent registered mail - errantly delivered to a neighbor. Fortunately, our neighbor is honest and delivered it himself to us. Had he been less than honorable, USPS tracking showed it was delivered and the delivery man (one of those much-hated subs) quite possibly would not recall where he delivered it.)
