T201 Ed Walsh Missing in mail?

Also, if you have the tracking# in your transaction record already, I would suggest going to USPS.com and signing up for e-mail notifications for that particular package.

I've repeatedly had customers contact me about packages missing in the system for a couple of weeks, and usually within the same day of me signing up for notifications, the package mysteriously starts moving through the system again.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if it's being held back by a pilfer in the system, to see if anybody notices if the package has gone missing, and then releases it along it's way if a notification pops up.

Just called USPS, was on hold for about 20 min before someone answered my call. Lady asked for the tracking # which I gave her. She saw the same thing I did about not being updated since the 18th. She took some info from me including my name, address, and phone number, then she put me on hold to fill out a claim form. Was on hold for about 2 min lady came back with a claim # and said someone will look into it and give me a call back between 24 to 48 hrs.

I would just give it some more time, chances are it will show up.

My personal experience is the PO has sucked really bad for almost a year now. The strange thing is if I send/receive a card in a PWE or with the free tracking they give you it shows up like clock work. Now if it has a paid tracking # there will be a 2-4 week delay over 90% of the time. Very strange but true.

Anthony, it is my understanding that, unless there is a specific agreement to the contrary, an eBay seller is responsible for loss/damage until the item is received by the eBay purchaser. Hence, I don't think you need to worry, unless you don't take action within the prescribed time period. If I'm wrong about this, I'm sure someone will set me straight.

I had one like that recently. Shipped with tracking, scanned into the system, scanned out of the area. Two weeks of no updates.

Then right about the time I was going to call someone it shows as scanned into town and out for delivery.

Apparently nobody between the shipping location and here could be bothered to scan it.

Update, looks like I am good with the card. Tracking finally updated 10 days later and said it is out for delivery today. Funny how when stuff like this happens after you make a few phone calls the thing is right at your door the next day. So when I get home from work today I should have the card sitting in my mail box.

Good news. Unfortunately this is becoming more and more common then it used to be.

seems like it, and its not the sellers fault in most cases. though I recently sold a card on ebay to a real winner though who was in Michigan and was asking where his card was 2 days after he paid for it. He opened a case 5 days later and ebay ruled in my favor and kicked him off ebay, name was cabby2014 I believe and he is back on there with a new ebay name. guy was weird saying he was going to call his cousin the cop on me about a $3 card. I hate to message sellers about where the card is esp when they put a tracking # on it. Still will leave the seller 5 stars
