Can you get delivery confirmation on a letter? Like for something that costs 34¢ to mail? I thought you had to mail priority to get DC? THis woman did not want DC or insurance, only wanted to pay 55¢ shipping.

Nice thing is that they now have the bidders block. So put this one on ignore and sleep in peace knowing you do not have to deal with them ever again.

Hi Jenndiggy, I too believe the package will show up. I only hope for your sake this is a newbie that is just being over-anxious, because I am sure she has heard all the ebay seller horror stories. However, I do understand what you are going through, my husband had a total knee replacement last spring and then had the other knee done last fall. Please take my advise and I am not being cruel do not give your mother a bell to call you. lol. Please feel free to email me([email protected]) if you have ay questions on being the care giver during the re-cuperation and physical therapy process. I am thinking about you. I know it made my ebay days longer and much more stressful.

Thanks for all your kind words. I got caught up on a little sleep earlier, and then this evening found out my father had MORE surgery today. He may have to go into a nursing home eventually, but at the moment, I'm going to help him stay at his place as long as possible. Will make things more hectic for me, but I can take him food, shop for him, and do other things to help him until he has to go into a nursing home.

ANYWAY, I did a little looking around on ebay, and it appears my bidder COULD have 104 ids. I have a buying and selling ID, but that is IT. Most have little or no feedback. I wonder what is going on. None are NARU that I found.

First of all, I am so sorry to hear of all of the medical problems and heartaches you and your family are going through. They are the most important right now, them and you. On on this fly-in-the-ointment person. What you could do is write and tell her that you mail from a very small post office, and with some help from the local postal authorities they were able to come up with your transaction postal number, so your mailing of the package to her can be tracked. That they will notify you when it is delivered to her. That it is sometimes advantagous to have a smaller post office where they can keep track of things like this to keep track of possible theft from Postal Workers. The item can be tracked from the time it left your hands, until it reaches her, and this is done to avoid mail fraud. (smile, smile, smile) Then girl, from this point on, use DC. Somehow, that little number on there stops would be shysters from trying to rip ya off. Keep us informed. I had to handle one this way, and TADA! She magically received the package!
