Ditto this

I had a card show as delivered and I asked the postmaster and mailman to send me a picture of the house delivered to and it was across the street from me a block away. Always ask for as much clarity as you can.

Seems like you did a lot of due diligence with EBay and seller too, best of getting the card!

Matt, did the person that it was delivered to let you know they had it or did they try to return it to the post office?

Edited to add - the postal carriers in my area suck, except for one that used to deliver to my home but took a different route.

Pretty crazy story. I bought a card off Net54 back in May and the postal office showed me a picture of delivery once I requested the manager of the post office give me more info. While I couldn’t identify the house, I knew they delivered incorrectly, so they refunded the seller the cost of the card who refunded me.

3 months later a realtor noticed a package at a house that was foreclosed. Turns out it was my long lost 54 Whitey Ford and she delivered it to my house. Absolutely wild.

I had this happen to me but it was with a major auction house. They requested I file a police report and refunded me after I provided them with a copy. Nothing came of the theft though.

Hey all, thanks for the input. Positive update here!

I reengaged with eBay using the tenor of the suggestions in this thread. They refunded the purchase within a few days with a nice note appreciating my long-time business and exceptional record on eBay. So while eBay is an easy target in the hobby, I have to give them a compliment when due: very good experience in this matter.

I probably would not have tried this approach after the first denial from eBay but for the suggestions here, so thank you all, too!

Brad

I have this happen once a month sadly. I have a rotating cast of characters for the mail route the last couple years and I think one is the weak link. I get the notice it was delivered but it can then take 3 to 7 days to actually show up at my door. I think they just scan everything delivered and leave it in the truck as it is a foot route and they don’t feel like carrying packages.

Recently I had an auto show delivered and took 12 more days to show. At least they eventually show up. It has caused me to be verrrrrry hesitant to contact sellers or eBay on delivery issues as I seldom get a real issue.

Genuinely annoys the hell out of me though.
