Uh, buyers also have to protect themselves. It's a bad situation because of how bad the post office is right now, but you can't blame a buyer for doing that.

Ebay will continue to hold your money until it is delivered. But they seem to be giving extra time before they close the case. Make sure you contact the buyer and explain what is going on as they may not know. Also, the way the process works is they open a case as not received and then after a certain amount of time they have the option of "asking" ebay to step in. Hopefully if you explain to the buyer what is going on, they will never take that second step.

I sent a Priority package on Nov 24th and they opened a case on the 3rd then it was delivered on the 9th.

since you shipped priority, there is some insurance provided.

15 days after you shipped, if it still has not been delivered or updated file a insurance claim.

get some of your $$$ back

My REA winnings have been sitting in Newark for a week, just coming to Philly. I wake up each morning saying today is the day for some movement and nothing.

I just made a claim on the 13th, got approved on the 16th.
Hopefully they will mail the check quickly.

Story on the mess at the Indy airport facility

https://www.wthr.com/article/news/ve...5-67a9f74858b1

I have five incoming packages that are “arriving late”. Looks like one just got out of the airport to downtown Indy after three days

So glad I sent my 89 year old mother’s Christmas presents via UPS. One day to Ohio. Mostly did it because they bring it to door versus mailbox at end of long drive.

Staying patient but frustrated. My studs has eventually been getting through. Hope that continues
