Stolen card please keep an eye out - And do I have any recourse?

Hey Luke,
I didn't read all the replies, so sorry if I'm repeating what was already said, but to be safe maybe you should block out your address on the picture you posted here.

In a much similar situation I had a purchase that I never received. The tracking stated it was delivered, however I have no idea as to where as I don't have it.

I filed a claim with PayPal and then my credit card, both avenues were fruitless. The provided tracking number from the seller stating it was delivered shut them both immediately. They would not even discuss it.

I am left holding an empty bag.

Sorry, but I think this is the same situation you will find yourself in.

Sorry to hear about this Luke.

As far as insurance goes, the seller has to claim it through the PO. I've done before on a item I shipped that got broken. I refunded the buyer - who supplied pictures of the broken item. Filed claim online had had my insurance money within three days.

Also, this community will find the card when it surfaces.

Best of luck Luke.

I am not saying that the following story happened here but it was a similar situation. Several years ago, I had a buyer who had the same situation. He won a 1964 Topps coin from me which cost 99 cents. He claimed that the envelope arrived with a slit at the bottom and there was no coin. I didn't think twice about refunding his 99 cents. About a year later, I get an email from a buyer who also won a 1964 Topps coin for 99 cents, and claimed his envelope was slit and there was no coin. I said to myself that sounds fishy. I checked back on my old eMails (I save any emails which there is a problem with an order), and saw that this was the exact same buyer trying to pull one over on me a year later. I confronted him with my findings and never heard from him again. I wonder how many times he has pulled that stunt. I never did file a complaint with eBay because it was only 99 cents but probably should have.

To the op, I suggest that not only do you block your address in the photo (as someone else suggested), but also block the sellers address. The seller did not do anything wrong and his address should not be publicized.

Howard,
I know Luke and I know it happened exactly as he says. I know you weren't stating that it happened like in your story, but I wanted to state this as fact.

I can only guess that it happened locally in the PO or the delivery person. Otherwise it would have been noticed and tagged as such.

Also, a bump. Don't want this to thread die.

Thanks Jimmy. Yeah, not quite sure why Howard would tell that story in this thread. I can't imagine he would have any reason to question my honesty. Thanks everyone for all the advice and information. I haven't had a chance to talk to my postmaster yet due to Thanksgiving preparation, but I will update if I have any news (hopefully good).
