I bought something on Ebay and now the package is lost.Am I just out of luck?

Question

I did not put insurance on the package and now the package is missing.Is there anything I can do? The post office lost it.I put a complaint in to the post office but they are just going to report it.

Answer 1

You are out of luck..

It is your responsibility to DEMAND insurance on your shipments, and to pay for such insurance. I used to insure shipments when I thought the deal felt shady to me, and sure enough, I'd have people say that 2-300$ orders were "lost". I'd email them back and say " Great, I insured the shipment anyways, and will need to get you the postal forms to file a claim".

Strange thing was... I'd never hear from them again... hmmmm

I know the above example is not the case with you, but on Ebay it is ALWAYS a good idea to pay for insurance, regardless of order size.

Answer 2

report this to ebay right away. ask the seller to give tracking no.

Answer 3

why don't you go back to the seller on ebay,

and say they lost your package then ask for a refund.

and i would have a bigger arguement with the post office because they shouldn't have lost your package in the first place

Answer 4

Talk to the seller and the eBay customer support team they will surely guide you and help you

Answer 5

How'd you pay?

You can file a complaint with Paypal that you didn't receive.  

If you used a credit card.. your credit card company should have some kind of protection.
