What would you do ?

Okay it’s been days, Guy won’t tell me if the cards are in the box or escalate the claim. Said they are going to the post office, not sure what that would do but any information is welcome. Claim is filed but usps will no way pay out any insurance on a delivered usps registered package. So bummed about this whole thing it is keeping me up at night.

So after 5 days, the guy hasn't done anything? Sorry you have to deal with something like this.

Has the buyer's eBay ID been named in this thread?

I'm sure there are quite a few Net54 members who would appreciate that info.

I’ll send it PM, they have a store I looked up. Looks kinda like a pawn shop-jewelry store. I’m just bummed by this whole thing. Registered mail has been like a full proof type of delivery until now. I don’t blame usps for this just wish eBay would make all transactions above a certain amount go through them so this is not possible.

The reason for the claim was a damage package. The package from the photos looks fine. Only the top has a slight piece of the registered mail tape pealing up from the package.

Plenty of threads on the board complain about eBay having the authentication process, but it does help protect the seller as well as the buyer.

If I were you I would try to reach a Postal Inspector. They will be interested in fraud with a registered package.

If you believe you've been targeted by a scam involving the U.S. Mail, you can get help by contacting your nearest Postal Inspection Service office in one of three ways: Call 1-877-876-2455.

Agreed. The postal inspectors dont f*** around. Best course of action.

Agreed.

From the seller's perspective, it takes "...I got an empty box..." out of the scammers' playbooks, as well as quite a few other tricks of their trade.

I'm sure the fraudsters still try their crap even when something goes through authentication, though.

Going back and forth today:

This guy is completely obsessed with the condition of the register mail tape. I have asked him 3 times are the cards okay and he will not answer. He’s acting like because a piece of the mail tape popped up from the edge he should get a refund immediately with no questions asked. The box has no real damage. You can see the stamps from usps when it was sealed together.

All his messages are about the condition of the box’s tape, not even about the box or the cards! And the time usps took to deliver. I offered a refund if he has the cards but no response.

This is so !!. I’m back to 99-1.

Sorry to post my boring problems on here but hopefully it’s a warning to sell individual cards only or consign sets-lots to a consigner to avoid future losses.
