You cannot make this stuff up.........
I realize you didn't do anything wrong here. However, USPS has their own language when looking for lost packages. For example, when I've initiated a missing mail search, I've been the seller. So, the seller could have (and perhaps should have) provided USPS something along the lines of:

8" x 6" x 4" white cardboard box, weighing 12 ounces, with a pre-printed shipping label and the tracking number 1234 5555 6666 7777 89. The contents included packing peanuts and a black-and-white baseball card within a plastic card sleeve.

The seller should be able to submit this search.
