"RESCHEDULED TO NEXT DELIVERY DAY": Should I worry?

[artgen-94]

I sold an item for $665. It's my first sale on  eBay. I've been checking in on the tracking number to make sure everything's going smoothly. it was supposedly delivered on the 23rd but I guess the buyer wasn't there to sign it, so they rescheduled it for delivery "on the next day" and that's it.

Here's the last few updates:

After that there's nothing. It's been five days already. The thing is, I don't get payed until it's marked as delivered. Is this a possible scam? Should I worry at all?

If you are worried, do not call the USPS main number, you will wait 100 years on the phone. Call the PO where the package is suppose to be delivered. They will be able to possibly tell you what is going on. Last year I had many packages being extra late with USPS. My best bet was to call the PO where the package was going to be delivered.

Normally this is no problem at all. The recipient was not home for signature so they attempt delivery the next day. So try not to worry.

If you have to contact the PO where the package is, you may get many post offices in that area if it is a big area. You narrow that down with zip code. If you get the wrong PO they usually can tell you where the right one will be and give you their number.

Where do you find PO's phone numbers?

Does it really work to call USPS? I've tried a couple times and it just rings and rings. Never had anyone answer.

Yeah. Some post offices are better than others. But have been able to successfully call. But yeah, have had more than a few never answer. Just luck of whichever office you need to deal with.
