I tried to talk with ebay about this.

Husqvarna 394XP "Air Injection" Chainsaw Used Good Compression | eBay

This is the saw that disappeared in the mail about a year ago. With the help of Thomas1 and a few others here we replaced the saw with a nicer one. The USPS never paid the claim and I just chalked it up to experience.

Now it shows up on ebay.....I contacted the seller. He never replied. I contacted ebay and spoke with a lady that barely understood English......she sent me a link to report the item and they refused my report.

#### ebay and the USPS.

I feel a little better now. :laugh:

Man, get back to the post office right now! They have actual postal cops. That is obviously one of your saws. The post office cops, man, this is a slam dunk collar for them to at least make a bust. let THEM deal with ebay, they will get someone who speaks english and pays attention. Came with a wad of saws the seller is saying, might uncover a ton of stolen saws, perhaps some insider ring, who knows.

Hopefully you have the serial number recorded, that and along with your sticker..this is handing them a good bust on a silver platter.

Alpharetta is about halfway between Zogger and me. Maybe we could meet up and have a "chat" with the seller.

I know some law enforcement people who probably know some law enforcement people... Anyway, it would be curious to find out how they came upon this saw and what other ones may be in their possession. As stated, this may be some type of "ring" that could be busted. The seller may not have anything to do with it but the "lot seller" may be interesting.

I would continue to pursue it if I were you. Do you have a serial number from the saw? That and a copy of the paper trail trying to "locate" it previously may be useful to someone.

I trust you have the serial number of the saw and the report that you filed when it went missing. I think that you need to contact the Postal Inspector and advise them that you have located the saw that they lost and would like it back. Alpharetta is a city just north of Atlanta, I would contact the Police Department there and advise that you have located your saw. It is interesting that the seller has a feedback score of 1 and a bunch of items to sell. Wonder if he has been on e-Bay previously under another ID?

I would be very much surprised if ebay wants anything to do with this. If it didn't cost them anything it's hard to get anything out of them. Even lost future sales don't seem to register with them. It would be better in my opinion to go the police route and then it may take awhile...

Hang on there o great mooberizer, If memory serves correctly there is a lost and found (black hole) of the USPS in Georgia. Now, I'm not trying to say he is right but if there is a clearing house in GA then the seller may very well have purchased that saw from an unclaimed freight auction.

What was the guys user name and address you sold the saw too? If they match then sic'em..........

I don't have the serial number. :(

The seller made sure it couldn't be seen too. :laugh:

But it will be there when law enforcement arrives. If it isn't, I think that is prima fascie evidence that something underhanded is amiss. The ad says he bough the saws at auction, if so there may be a string of prior unknown owners.

On the phone with the postal inspectors, give it a whack with those guys. That is an easily identifiable custom saw. "disappeared" from the post office..uh huh. Someone disappeared it.

This is the inspectors job, one of them anyway. Be sure to get a screen grab, too, you can see the sticker clearly.

USPS is too big, too many bureaucrats and yes they are broke. But if you can get the right person to help they will pay a claim. My postmaster has helped me greatly with the few problems I've had. I've ship thousands of packages in the last 12+ years and have had Very few problems.
