oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 3:54 pm I have had a slow delivery before (during the holidays), but how long should I wait before I approach eBay/PayPal on a USPS Priority Mail item? The seller stated that it went out o/a 03 Jan 2012, it was insured, but no delivery confirmation. The seller stated that they would check with the post to see if it can be tracked, no solid info yet, other than it was delivered (to whom?). How long should I wait to claim a refund with ebay? It was a $300 coin, at least they insured it. The seller should make their claim with USPS since it was insured...am I correct? Report this Post to the Staff

In my experience, priority never takes more than 5 days and I've posted a lot - manuscripts, art, coins, and more. Thank god for the insurance. It's their claim. They have the documentation.

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 11:24 pm The seller sent me a photocopy of the insurance receipt and left a note to have take it to the post office for inquiry. Is it up to me to claim this item? I thought it was the other way around; the seller would make a claim against USPS, and the buyer would file with ebay for reimbursement.

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 12:38 am I believe to make a claim at USPS, the sender would have had to bought insurance. Report this Post to the Staff
LincolnGuy Pillar of the Community 917 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 7:35 pm I was under the impression its his job. You get your refund from him, and he gets his refund from USPS. That way everyone breaks even... Otherwise he still has your $300 and you just break even... Did that make sence? lol Sounds like the seller is trying to get you to do his job so he can keep that $300 Edited by LincolnGuy 01/18/2012 7:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/19/2012 4:31 pm File a claim with PayPal. Don't bother with the post office. The seller has to provide signature confirmation on an item of that value or PayPal holds their funds and refunds yours. It is not your job to track it down.
