That purchase is too large not to require a signature.
The current seller, who is in New Jersey, is not that established. He only has 186 total feedbacks. He is selling your Mantle for $849.99. His next highest card is listed for just $49.99. I always find this scenario a little suspicious. However, it is not dispositive.
You live in NY. This seller lives in Flemington, NY, which is only an hour and 15 minutes from NY. I do not think this is a coincidence. He, a friend, or family member potentially received your card and he is now selling it. The other potential scenario is that he is a good-faith purchaser and purchased the card from the individual that mistakenly received your card.
The questions I have are: (1) when was the card shown as delivered? and (2) when did the current seller list the card?
The lower the days between the two events, the more likely the current seller is involved somehow. The reason is that the person who mistakenly received the card probably lives in NY, and likely near you. That person then has to list the card on some forum. He/she then has to have it delivered to NJ. Selling a card usually takes a few days. Furthermore, it usually takes a few days to receive the card once shipped.
If a week or more past between the two unknown dates then the current seller’s genuineness increases. However, if just a few days passed between the two unknown dates then I strongly question the current seller’s legitimacy. Nonetheless, the current seller knows how he received the card. He should have the seller’s identity. He is the mystery’s Rosetta Stone.
Reach out to him. If he has done nothing wrong, then he should assist you. If he tells you to go pound sand then this casts suspicion all over him. I would also try to search other different forums that cards are sold through. You may luck out and find the posting which you could use to trace the transaction.
I wish you the best of luck. This is an awful situation for you.

The card was shown as delieved on Friday at 2:09. I did not receive it so I immediately went to the post office to find out where it was. They said that they didn't know an exact location, and the worker responsible wasn't there. I went to the branch manager and spoke to him, left my information, never heard anything from him.
The new listing which was taken down quickly was posted today I believe. I'm just really bummed out over this entire situation. I'm defintely going to be a lot more careful going forward of who I conduct deals with.
