I made a purchase. Was emailed a tracking number jan 25. Tracking number shows usps received tracking info electronically on Jan 30th. To date the tracking info has not changed, usps has not received the package, and I have not received it. I opened a claim. Seller provided said tracking number. Paypal accepted it and the status now says "tracking shows this package is still in transit. When the package arrived we'll review the case" - WTF? It's a non-receipt claim. The tracking number isn't actually active because they never handed it to usps. It's been 15 days since they say they shipped it. What happens now? 😕
Well the seller emailed me the tracking number on the 25th and said it was shippedthat day. On the 30th the status was updated to this and has not updated since: The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on January 30, 2011 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. So it looks like they electronically generated a shipping number and never dropped it off at the post office.
That's mean the seller print the shipping label in his computer in Jan 25, but it never arrive to USPS office.
Then you need to call customer service, they need to check that, the seller is tacking advantage of this situation and using USPS to commit mail fraud. Because the items was never shipped.
You probably need to check with you local post office to see if you can file a mail fraud against the seller, he is using a government agency to commit fraud.
