USPS tracking has been offline for a couple of days now. Obviously, there is a problem. So, check online again AND take the tracking # to your PO and see if they can pull anything at the PO thru their system. Often, they can.
And IF your PO confirms NO SIG, then you need to throw a HUGE fit and file a HUGE complaint w/ USPS and USPIS for NOT getting a sig if you paid for SIG.
As I said b4, we have a recent thread whereby a USPS carrier signed for a parcel for the recipient, dropped a parcel on a porch, and it went missing. It took several weeks but the USPIS did investigate, did get to the bottom of it, and someone at the PO reimbursed the buyer for a bag. So, DO research this..... DO call the recepient Postmaster.

UPDATE!
Seller at ebay just emailed me. She DID ship to the New York City address-
She was smart and used UPS Ground. Card has not been claimed yet, check out the tracking info she sent me:

NEW YORK, NY, US- 10/30/2009 - 6:47 P.M.
A DELIVERY CHANGE REQUEST FOR THIS PACKAGE WILL BE PROCESSED / AS REQUESTED, THE RECEIVER WILL PICKUP AT A UPS FACILITY AT THEIR CONVENIENCE. THIS MUST BE WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS.

I just contacted the latest Barneys card seller and warned him/her to ship Fed Ex requiring signature and to not send without taking down the Barneys Card Number.

You go BOY!

I hope you work in law enforcement, if not you may have missed your calling. All these detective skills need to be put to use.

Whatever you want - you are certainly doing a great job in solving this mystery!

I wonder if the winner of the gift card is a tpf member??? I hope not .... I don't want them clued in to your detective work!

Well they do appreciate high end goods, so it wouldn't surprise me if they did frequent this board!

Hmm should we remove this thread?

Did you run thru some of their auctions to see if any mention of being a member?
Just don't throw all of your cards out on the table, KWIM?

We need to start calling you Ace...Ace Ventura...eBay/tPF detective.

You can be more fashionable than the Pet Detective which shouldn't be hard to accomplish.

Don't forget to post the ebay ID here, plz.... someone we all need to avoid selling to, and certainly do NOT need to be buying from! OMG
I was wondering this..
If you knew what the person bought..see if it pops up in her store..
sheesh, I almost bought from her a few times. I love Alexander Wang.
Glad I didn't.

She is sooo busted..
Does she have a Myspace page?

I hope you file a police report, because given the info you've provided, the thief
will be ez to track down..

Also..many department store's security share info with other stores.
I knew a security person at Saks (BevHills) about 10 years ago, and she told me this.
Not sure if this is the case still...

UPDATE!
Seller at ebay just emailed me. She DID ship to the New York City address-
She was smart and used UPS Ground. Card has not been claimed yet, check out the tracking info she sent me:

VERY INTERESTING indeed!

If PP is on to her, I hope they side with you....

OMG, I've been following this thread and this is unbelievable! Since the buyer is using USPS to commit her crimes, she and her accomplices will be subject serious federal charges. Are you a detective! If not you should become one!
