[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2052433, member: 15929"]I went back tot he Post Office today to follow up on the clickable links in the attached scans. The first one (Page 1) that starts with 9475 0096....., is a Shipping Services link which simply identifies the "pallet" the mail was in. The "VIEW" link on Page 2 anbles the viewing of the actual signature for this signature confirmation piece of mail. Everything else is simply tracking information. I grilled the Postal Worker for some more information on the terminals and the computer system being used since I wondered why they had to go back into the office for the tracking information. I was told that the terminals at the clerk stations were simply computerized cash registers that did not have internet access. As such, there was simply no possible way that a clerk at the front desk could possibly see an eBay closed item link by scanning a barcode as input. The terminal in the back office, which was out of my view and the actual USPS Tracking input terminal, does have internet access......[I]but as a separate function from the official USPS tracking software program used to track items. [/I]I can only presume similar to any other terminal where different programs are available for execution. So, my "degenerate" postal clerks at my local Post Office were able to respond to my "cloudy" requests with assurance that there simply was no way they could tell me what was in the eBay item I shipped out using the PayPal generated mailing label from an eBay transaction. So unless I'm seriously missing something............. Question to OGG: When did you see the ended eBay item popup on the postal clerks terminal? Looking for a specific time frame here such as a month ago, 6 months ago, two years ago, day before yesterday, etc.[/QUOTE]
