The following is just my opinion:

If tracking shows your item as delivered, the seller should be off the hook. Sadly, there are people who steal from people's mailbox. There are also delivery drivers who don't deliver and/or scan items properly. Neither of these scenarios are the fault of the seller; the theft or incompetence shouldn't be their responsibility.

If it were me, I'd contact eBay. It's possible they might refund/reimburse you out of their pocket. Be advised, though, they're likely to make a note of this. One item for $78...sure. Repeatedly claiming an item didn't arrive...eventually that won't work. I'm not saying you'd abuse the system; however, there are people who do.

Another option is to ask your local Postmaster to look into this. You can also ask the person who typically delivers your mail. If the item is sitting at the Post Office (or in a delivery vehicle, etc.) at the time you ask, your inquiry might be enough of a catalyst to get it delivered to you.

One last option is to ask your next door neighbors. Every so often, I get my neighbors' mail. It happens.

I hope you and your card get together soon.
