I only recall it one time but wouldn't be surprised at all if it's happened more. In the end, I've gotten everything and the other party has gotten everything. The one instance I had, I mailed out two bubble mailers the same day at the same time, using the Paypal shipping. One was heading up to Rhode Island somewhere and the other was going to Pittsburgh. I checked the tracking a couple of days later just to check progress and they had identical routes with the latest update being Providence. I got worried that maybe I had printed out the same label twice and without noticing had applied them to both packages. In the end though, I had it right and the other package made its way to Pittsburgh. Just kind of odd.

It's happened to me twice.
Once with a trade for $300 worth of chrome autos including a Wil Myers blue refractor auto. It was going from Ft Worth to Houston (4Hours! It fell off the face of the earth). Had to give up another batch of cards to fix the deal.

The other was a Strasburg BC refractor Auto, going to Mass. and it ended up in the French Polynesian Islands. I think it found its way though.

I have had it happen a few times in the last year. Had a card shipped from west coast to west coast, make a trip to the east coast. It should get figured out and makes it's back to you.

Mailed a card almost 2 weeks ago from SC to CA, used PayPal shipping like I always do, and the card is in limbo somewhere in Burbank, CA. The DC says it is "undeliverable as addressed" I have no idea what that means. The label was printed off the computer to an address that has been used by the buyer for many purchases. I guess I can follow up with USPS this week, don't know what else to do.

I had purchased a 2004? Finest Willie Mays auto a couple years ago. It said it was delivered to me. Day and time was right on as I was home. Got my mail that day and it wasn't in my mailbox. I couldn't do anything about it. Not sure if it was the mailperson or delivered to the wrong address. I even went house to house and a persons' same house house # and street that sounded like mine.....FRUSTRATING!

The PO can really suck at times. They pull all kinds of crap. I've had items not show up and then all of a sudden, three months later they finally show up. WTF that is all about, I'll never know.

this time of year it's probably the temporary help. It could also be the regulars being disgruntled that their processing/sorting facility may be shut down in the next year. Several are on the chopping block in my state (with processing to be done at larger cities in the region) and I don't know if those employees have been offered positions to work at the larger cities or if they will just be canned.

Wish they would actually care about the job they do.

This is exactly what happened to me on a Harper A&G auto. It was insured for $200, so no Sig required. They denied the insurance claim because "it was dlvd". That cost me a good chunk because the Harper was selling for $400 at the time, and was a flip card with a $200 profit.

Once I bought a card from a board member thru eBay. Well the card showed dropped at there PO and then seem to fall off the face of the earth.Forgot about the card since the seller refunded me after it had not shown up after a few months. Then one day I get a bubble in the mail and, I know i did not order anything for like months......well it was the card that went lost.......only thing was it was delivered exactly 1 year and 2 days from the date it had on the package.
I contacted the seller and sent them back the 4 bucks that I paid for that card. I can't remember who the card was of, but it was when I was collecting any and all gold refractors though.....

It should show up sometime, better late then never I guess.
