All of the PO scanners now have GPS, so a supervisor can tell exactly where and when the delivered scan was made. It takes about 2 minutes for the supervisor to track the package, export the info into google maps, and see the exact location of the package when it was scanned. You can even tell if the package was delivered to the front door, or put in the garage, etc.

I would look it up for you, but I retired two weeks ago () so I no longer have access to the Postal Service info.

It is very easy for a clerk or Supervisor or Postmaster to look this up for you.

Congrats Rick !

Thanks for the replies.

Congrats, Rick, on your retirement.

I opened a PayPal case and unfortunately lost because it shows as delivered. I called them to plead my case over the phone, but it fell on deaf ears. As long as it shows as delivered, the seller wins. It wasn't a large amount, only $25, but its the principle of the matter. This seller chose to tarnish their reputation and get a neg over a $25 item.

Sometimes sellers post the same image for multiple cards. I've bought cards before that aren't the card in the picture, but the same card otherwise. It's a lazy way of doing business but what can you expect from some people.

It's a different image in the relisting. Same card, same serial number. In the first listing (the one I won), the image was slightly blurry. For the re-listing, he re-scanned it with a better image.

My last option is filing a mail fraud case with USPS. I've already talked to my local post office and they assured me that it would be investigated. In fact, they were the only ones that seemed to understand and care. PayPal didn't give a crap as long as it showed as delivered.

Can you file a claim with eBay?

He could, but if it shows as delivered in the zip code you live in (or even a nearby zipcode) ebay will side with the seller. If the seller cared enough, he could even call ebay and have the negative removed.

Some buyers in David's spot would open a NAD claim and send back some local air to the seller...once it shows as delivered back to the seller, they would receive their refund. After relisting the identical item, the seller is not likely to fight the case against him.

Allow me to second this. My wife worked for the USPS and taught me how to resolve issues.

Call or go into the Post Office and ask for a delivery supervisor. Be nice and respectful, acknowledge you know they are busy and ask for their help. Going in hot and pissy is not the best route to get results.

And anything can happen. There was a postal delivery guy in Montgomery, AL that got arrested because they found he was taking mail home and burning it. He couldn't keep up, was needing help and was nearing the end of his initial 90 days, and all of a sudden started finishing his route an hour early and was helping others. A few people saw him putting his mail bag in his truck before going back in the office a few times and reported him. About 3 weeks later the Postal Inspector went to his home and found he had dug a 5-6' deep pit in his back yard and was burning everything. I guess he was at least smart enough to deliver the tracked packages and take home the magazines and other stamped mail.
