Good news...the seller went ahead and issued me a refund. This is good to hear.  Quote:
I'm afraid the USPS will be the only winner in this situation. I hope they can make the seller whole. It would be a shame if we lost one of the good ones over this. |

Quote:USPS won't. Either ebay or Paypal has to... You are correct. I should have included ebay and PayPal when I said they, even though I was equally (foolishly?) hopeful the USPS could discover the problem. Quote:

As I think about this more, it seems this might not be the first time they have had to handle this and they understand the long term gains of taking the hit. |

Sadly I think it's more that they just know they would lose and don't want to bother fighting it which is what ebay wants. |

Like many of you I'm sure he is taking the loss. I would like to think that it's because I've been a good customer of his for a couple of years. |

I used to be very wary of ebay, but in the last year I have bought seven Ike dollars on ebay and could not be happier. Some people can change, some can not. |

Wow, you were extremely fortunate that the seller gave you the refund so quickly. That exact thing happened to me a couple of months ago, and I filed an item not received case with ebay, and took pictures of the empty package. ebay quickly refunded me, and the seller kept the $......so we were both whole. ebay told me it's not my fault that USPS delivered an empty package. |
