I am still wondering what happened to something that was mailed to me two days before Christmas. Never got here and was never returned. Someone is very happy.
"It's not about the fish, it's about fishing for the fish. The fish is gravy."
Lesson learned.
In future ebay purchases when I win an item, before I pay I'm contacting seller to make sure it's not shipped usps. if they insist on using usps I won't pay and tell them to keep their item.
