What do you do with this postal situation?

I second going to the postoffice and asking for geolocation info. I had USPS drop off a package down the street, at an address that differed by from mine by only one number. At the post office, they pulled up the delivery info on a map and I could see exactly where it was delivered. The writting on the package was really bad, so I can kind of get the mistake by the delivery person and the people who had the package.

okay, yes it said delivered to my actual correct address

Sometimes give it a day or 2. In fact, I am dealing with stuff not delivered.
On a positive note, its not stuck in a tree via drone method.
last time I was told there were 2 drivers and the weekend driver had it, go figure.

Call your local post office, they likely can straighten it out, as mentioned all scans now have an exact GPS reading as I understand it. This happened to me not long ago and they were able to track down that they had delivered the package down the street, and retrieved it. Not sure why the neighbor didn't just bring it by but whatever. I've also received tracked packages intended for other people and unless they're across town, which has happened, I'll just drop them off myself.

As others have said step 1 is to see if the USPS can find it. Step 2 file an Ebay claim. Step 3 is file a PayPal claim.

I had to go to step 3 in a similar situation but got my money back.

Ihad the same situation last month. USPS said item was delivered. After a week of so, I opened a case on USPS.com. Another week or two went back and I got an email from the PO saying I was out of luck. The next day the card was delivered.

It never occurred to me to file a claim against the seller as I don't believe they did anything wrong.

USPS.com is a waste. You need to deal with your local PO, in my experience.

I am surprised you won that claim given that it was the post office's fault not the seller's.

Yea I wasn't sure how it would go but the USPS was no help. Now that I think about it I may have missed the 30 day window for an Ebay claim. But I told PayPal that I never got the card, and I felt it should have been sent signature required since it was a little over 500 bucks. They refunded the purchase.
