If the goal is to degrade the service level of the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE … then the end-goal might be to get rid of it and give a DELIVERY MONOPOLY to the likes of AMAZON, UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, FedEx, or any other delivery carrier out there.

As it is, Amazon pretty much has a MONOPOLY when you consider how they operate to ADVERTISE, SELL, and DELIVER goods and services for themselves as well as sellers on their marketplace … they pretty much CONTROL all those PLATFORMS and made sure to PROFIT from each step. It reminds me of the MONOPOLY the MOVIE STUDIOS had when they also OWNED THE MOVIE THEATERS … they had TOTAL CONTROL and a MEDIA EMPIRE until the government broke it up!!!

I have learned to file a missing mail request with USPS for any item where the tracking has gone stale for a few days. Of course that won’t work for larger sellers who, unlike a small seller like me, have too many shipments to monitor tracking.

Often after filing a missing mail request, I see the tracking start to move again after a couple days. May or may not be a coincidence, or maybe the request stirred USPS activity,

Ebay is telling an absolute lie. I had a Buyer return an item to me which I have no problem with. The Buyer paid $4.62 for the original shipping, label purchased through Ebay. Ebay sent him a label for return and charged me $6.25. Called Ebay, talked with a CS and was told that is how much it costs for Ebay labels, basically “Too Bad”. So, no more labels through Ebay anymore, I’ll just wait for the money to get to my bank and I’ll purchase all labels through a third party vendor. Have you ever seen a company, such as Ebay, shoot themselves in the foot so much for lying? It’s a wonder they don’t have gangrene.

Yea, their keeping an eye on it, won’t do anything but watch.Their reps will tell you not to worry your covered but all you get is a hassle and a defect plus lose your item and shipping.
