Well, it's finally happened. A card sold via eBay, sent to someone halfway across the U.S., has gone missing. Was mailed first-class 12 days ago and shipping tracks it to the major mail center not far from my home--where tracking stops. I filed for a USPS probe a few days ago and they are due to update me today but no change in tracking so far. It was a Pay Pal purchase. No insurance beyond the $50 I guess you get with tracking. Any advice on 1) what happens when USPS tells me they are coming up empty--and how long to wait until it's clear it's gone 2) getting any compensation via PayPal or eBay.

I've kept the buyer fully informed on all this.

Thanks for anything!
