Why?

Agreed. Why?

If the seller can't show proof of delivery, he loses the case - the insurance protects him, not you. Had he purchased insurance and the card were to remain lost, he would be reimbursed by the USPS. Unfortunately, he didn't. That's on him, not you. Now, he loses his case and the money for the card.

Call your post office. I am not above driving over there on my lunch break if I know I got a card there.

Right, as others have said, if the package tracking does not show delivered, you will win your case on ebay.

If the card (and not the claim through ebay) is what you are seeking, encourage the seller to open a case with the USPS.

If it was a Saturday, good chance it was a cover driver of the route, and he just kicked it back into the system as undeliverable. Might be on it's way back to the seller right now.

Could also be sitting around in the back of a rarely used delivery vehicle waiting for somebody to stumble upon it.

Go back to the PO. Don't talk to a clerk. Don't talk to a supervisor. Talk to the Postmaster. Tell him/her that this item is in his PO and that you expect him to produce it. Have him talk to the carrier who made the scan and tell him that you want the carrier to reimburse you for the cost of the card plus the shipping.
Tell him that you don't want to file an insurance claim and that you want the package, not the insurance. Be civil, but be firm.

Agreed with the previous posters...you will win a claim if filed with eBay. However, make sure to document what you have done on your end ie through eBay messages - not that it would necessarily be needed. Sounds like you have done everything a buyer can reasonably be expected to do.

Thanks for all the input, have filed a claim with eBay (my first one). Now it's just wait and see.



Thanks,

Is it just sitting at the post office? If it's just sitting there, why wouldn't you just go and pick it up?

Do people bother to read the posts before asking questions of making statements?

I have made about 6 trips to the post office to see if the card has showed up or any updated status, with no luck.

Maybe some of us don't have time to read through it and was trying to help. You don't have to be a dick about it.
