I don't work for the post office, but I've done a lot of shipping through the USPS and I don't think there is anyway to stop delivery on a package you mailed.

unless you ship under a business name with a special acct type that lets you do that specificaly its not possible, you might be able to change the address which is the same thing but not guaranteed

hey i got a friend that just got scam on ebay.
where did you shipped the item to? if its outside of us they can stop the shipping as long as the package is still within us. try contacting your post office and ask them to make sure where the package is at.

That's some major b.s. There's always a way, so good luck on that. Paypal when it comes to situations like that can be very frustrating.

i have had that happen, dont ever deal with people on paypal unless they are verified members.


i had that same exact thing happen and what happened is that the credit card the person used went through and paid me but then paypal thought there was something weird so they took back the money on hold.

the guy had to prove something about the car by photocopying it and sending in some stuff and it all went through.

i had already shipped the stuff and he already received it. they actually did it like 4 days later.

check and see if he is verified then dont worry about it.
