Resolved! UPS SurePost back to USPS for last mile.

This may have been discussed already, so sorry for duplicative post. This will mean that SurePost will be a bit slower again due to transfer and double carrier logistics. Also, now that UPS no longer deals with last mile I suspect insurance will once...

Mail Forwarding Buyer has left almost 1000 Neg-Feedbacks to Sellers

It's a shame that eBay let's these mail-forwarding buyers continue to fraud the system, just because they generate substantial revenue for them. Unfortunately, it's now my turn to go thru the hurdles of having negative feedback removed (here soon) fo...

Don't Use FedEx Ground Economy!

Resolved! Item shipped by USPS to buyer - No scans in 7 days???

So, I sold a phone on Jan 9th. The buyer requested USPS even though I hate them and I usually drop off packages at UPS. Fine, so per USPS regulations, this is a used phone worth $250 and can only be shipped by "Ground Advantage" and needed to include...
