Hi eBay community, this is Carrie. It's my first time asking a question. I have read previous conversations and it has helped me out so thx. Ok so I shipped out a item on Dec. 13, 2019 and it arrived at a P.O Box on Dec. 17, 2019. On Dec. 24, 2019 this buyer said that they call the post office every day and they can't pick it up. Keep in mind it says available for pickup in the tracking number. They started a return saying that it's there they just can't pick it up or something like that. It didn't take long for me to catch on to this b.s, they were wanting to get a refund, then go pick up the item. I'm not stupid. I haven't mentioned this to the buyer. On Dec. 28, 2019 I called eBay and they figured out that they were responsible for picking up the item, therefore the request is closed and ended up in my favor but, the reason why I am asking you anything is because the item still says it's available for pickup. I looked at a eBay community discussion and many people said that packages that are left at a P.O Box for more than 2 weeks will be shipped back to where it came from. It's been there for 13 days. I haven't heard anything from the buyer since Dec. 24, 2019. I have contacted them a few times since so i guess they don't wanna talk. Anyway if it is sent back to me, since there is a closed request, will i be able to keep the item and sale it/ keep it once i get it without eBay takeing my money? I use PayPal if that helps. Look forward to getting a response.

Hi everyone still interested in this subject, I've been so busy lately and there not been anything 2 update however though, I called their local post office last saturday and they said the package was no longer there. It must have been delivered according to them. I realize that the tracking number still says available for pickup but it's been delivered I take it. This subject is now closed, if there anything that else comes out of this I will come 2 u guys. Thank you very much. I also what 2 apologize to some people, i felt I've been rude to a couple of people, I was just stressed out over this at first. Once again sorry, and thx very much.

Alright so I'm not gonna do anything about it. I haven't received a message or anything from her, I can't find a phone number for her local post office as when i Google it, it gives me a 800 number that never answers. Tried 2 or 3 times. It's been sitting there for 19 days now and i don't know how much longer it will be until it is shipped back 2 me. Now ik people have been telling me that if i get it back i will need 2 refund but the truth is, i don't have a penny in my account, and another question i have is why should i be responsible 4 giving her money back. She should have got up and got it herself right? Ik someone might comment saying that's like acting like a 2 year old, but it's just a valid question i have. I will continue 2 keep u guys updated. Looking forward to getting the resonance. Oh btw you guys have been so knowledgeable and i thank u.

To get a local Post Office phone number, Google USPS and the zipcode. It will get you the physical address and phone numbers for the PO and the branches in that zipcode.
