Filing a USPS lost package claim

Locked

Discussion interactions are currently paused.

Hi--I am sure others are having the same problems but I could use some assistance. I have several buyers that have not received their items after the 15 day recommended USPS wait. How do you prove to the USPS the cost of the item and proof of your insurance when mailing with USPS. It is shown on eBay but they want something uploaded? I have packages picked up, as I am rural, and they do not leave a receipt. I am trying to file claims on my lost packages and do not know what or how to upload information for these two requirements. Thanks for any suggestions or help. Connie

Tell your buyers it is the holiday season and there is a delay. Give it another 10 days. The buyers will probably file a "not received" case against you which you would have no other choice but issue a refund whenever they do that. When filing for insurance I would go to the USPS website and file the case. They require the tracking number and you can scan the invoice that Ebay gives you and upload that as proof of value. Then wait for them to get back to you. It has been over a year since I had to file a claim but I think this has to do with the holiday season.

Call the USPS 1-800-275-8777.....Like i call a SCAMMERS PLACE. Was very difficult to talk with a human there. After losing few hours, finally i was able to talk with somebody and request my package back ! EBAY help you with nothing , don't trust on the bul**bleep** about your money back waranty. If you are a seller and your item was shipped but not delivered you are alone, nobody help you, no USPS, no EBAY ! EBAY MAKE MONEY, ONLY and provide ZERO support when you are on some kind of trouble ! EBAY AND USPS GIVE YOU NOTHING, when you need HELP !

Why call Ebay?

What do you think they could do about a missing/late USPS package?

1. This thread is from 2020. I'm sure that the original issue has been settled by now.

2. eBay's money back guarantee is a buyer protection policy. Sellers have no protection against lost packages except through insurance. All USPS packages (except Media Mail) are automatically insured for $100. eBay has no control over your package after it is shipped.

3. If a package is lost, just file an insurance claim with USPS. You can file online, so there's no need to call anybody.
