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

bigfish · #1 01-05-2021, 06:06 PM

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.

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.

Here's the page from the USPS:

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.

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.
