Proper action for a stolen package from a Buy/Sell/Trade transaction

So his package was lost in the USPS system for over 30 days, he emailed the seller more than once and the seller ignored his emails and you think he doesn't have a legitimate beef?

You can defend you’re friend all you want. He didn’t respond. I get it. The seller doesn’t have anymore information than the buyer. The usps portal had the info. Both parties had access to the same information. The seller doesn’t have magic bottle.

Patience was needed based upon the circumstances and any reasonable person would recognize that.

Not to pile on... the seller was recovering from
Brain surgery.

The fact that you and the buyer pile on is frankly disturbing.

Geez, that's nuts.

I can't blame people for getting nervous. I mailed maybe $2,000 worth of cards to someone in a small priority mail box and when it fell off the radar for 2 weeks I was apoplectic. It is a bit terrifying. And for heaven's sake don't blame the seller.

Proper action for an item not stolen from the US Postal Service is first for the Post Office to check its system. At 7:10 p.m. EST time tonight, Audra tried calling me from the Congra, NY post office. I did not recognize the phone number because it isn't a regular phone number that I use, i.e. 845-268-8742. At 7:11 p.m. EST, the call was received again and wondering if this was a SPAM call, I coughed into the line. Audra identified herself much to my delight given this matter and indicated that item 9500115895080326668817 was delivered at 3:30 p.m. EST today to the address. My notification from the customer? Zip.

No theft.

You left out that the seller was still posting on the board while not responding to the buyer trying to contact him and that the buyer had been told by someone at the USPS (apparently incorrectly) that the package had been stolen based on what she could tell. Yes, the seller had health issues, but the buyer was not aware of that when he tried to contact him, and if the seller was able to keep posting here, a simple response to the buyer would have likely prevented this thread from ever having been started.

*PRIORITY MAIL FULLY INSURED AND/OR YOUR MONEY BACK ~

*EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CARD!

i've had maybe 2 bad transactions in the 21 years i've been here...
one included a $15 lost check in the Mail... from when i was working in Iraq.

The other? i'm sure someone might inform me of the tragedy...
& "i'd Still Make it Right Today!"

Now... When Brian(Hey there Brian, my prayers are with You Sir!) has Paid Back ToppsAholic... i'm Sorry, what was this guys name AGaiN!?!?

Anyways... when the Card does Show up, Will He Return Brian's Money & Keep the Card? Return the Card(because it has this Stinky Stuff on it!) & Keep the Money? Or!?!?

"Side Bar Your Honor"... *Where is Your Compassion Dude ~ ?

Send me Your Paypal Address and i'll pay You back myself ~ "Truly!"

First off, I don't know the OP.

Second, the seller didn't tell the buyer he was ill, I guess he supposed to be a mind reader?

I'll say it again, if the seller had answered one email saying "I'm sorry its delayed, I'm ill at the moment. I'll look into it" This whole thing could've been avoided.

I'm not saying Brian is looking to scam anyone but I have been ripped off before and the first red flag is the seller ghosts you. It wasn't unreasonable that the buyer was worried.
