A customer purchased a trading card from me at auction, total being around $13. I sent the card via eBay Standard Envelope in it shows as having been delivered on Friday.
This weekend the buyer messages me saying the card has not arrived, and is trying to go through USPS to find it. According to him, USPS needs a full tracking number, not the one eBay uses for standard envelope. I messaged him back saying that I only have the number provided by eBay. He accepted that answer, but then messaged me back today saying it looks like he’s out of luck and asking me if I have another copy of the card.
I’m smelling a rat, but I guess I should ask to be sure...do eBay tracking numbers (ESU123456, for example) have a USPS counterpart that can be used on their site?
