Not true..Fed Ex,UPS and USPS,all track your package to every one of their dispatch locations & up to the doorbell.


What he is saying is A BOX WAS DELIVERED according to Tracking #, but not what was in box or condition of item sent.

You cannot POST nationwide on craigslist, but you can SEARCH nationwide on craigslist.

That's true.
Granted, nobody can know for sure if the item sold is the item sent, or if the item received is the item claimed to have been received from a dishonest buyer.
But eBay acting as the judge, jury and executioner without looking into ANY facts and ALWAYS siding (okay, 99%) with the buyer is just wrong.

I just mailed a priority box today and delivery confirmation is included with it now. No more filling out the little green label.

Wanted: Nebraska advertising items Cushman, Dempster, Archer oil etc.

delivery confirmation has always been included with priority mail.

perhaps you are referring to their new 'Standard Post' that replaces 'Parcel Post' It now comes with delivery confirmation included for no extra charge(yea right!)

You can no longer print Parcel Post labels on Ebay...they say they will have it available in March....funny thing is USPS calls the new delivery 'Standard Post' but Ebay calls it something totally different ... 'Parcel Select'

I spent about an hour on the phone trying to figure all of this out about 1 week ago.

I always had to pay for confirmation on priority packages at the post office. The cost was $.15 less
than for parcel post. The new " Standard post" is a joke. Every package in the last week has been the same price as priority mail . The folks at the post office can't explain why they have both services.

I went to the post office 3 days ago and tried to send a box out to the east coast with something I sold in EBay in it. (3.4 lbs.) The total for Priority was over $18. Instead I put it in THEIR priority box, paid for it on line and paid $11.80. They wanted $13.80 at the post office. *****?

I will just have to start paying mine on line and then having them pick up the priority boxes from me.
