Package intercept

I just did my first one.  I sold a gold necklace at the beginning of December and it has not arrived yet.  Yesterday I rightfully got an item not received.  I instantly returned the money and that might have been a mistake as when I put the tracking in Ebays tracking there was no movement.  I put it into the USPS website and it was moving in Miami, where the package was going.  I believe in cause and effect so I am pretty sure the buyer is innocent.  I didnt want to take the chance so I intercepted the necklace.  It was able to be returned to me and it cost 18 bucks.  No bad considering the cost of the thing.  Regardless, intercepting the package is really easy to do.  Just a few clicks and you are good to go.  I did email the buyer and inform them I was able to intercept.

Wherever you go, there you are. Please remember, when you are asked if you are a god, you say yes.

Re: Package intercept

It doesn't always work.  I have so far been 50% of the time successful. At least they don't charge if it fails.  It also helps to file ASAP after shipping.

Re: Package intercept

USPS is clear that you pay your money and take your chances. There are no guarantees for package intercepts.

Package intercept with USPS. You do not pay and take your chances.

 

You "preauthorize" a payment and are only charged if the intercept is successful.
