<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2477693, member: 27832&quot;]Back on the 17th, I &quot;won&quot; a couple of questionable eBay listings (Indian gold eagles for less than melt). I corresponded a little bit with the seller after hitting BIN, and he seemed legit, but tracking info wasn&#039;t forthcoming.</p><p><br /></p><p>This evening I got an email -- not from eBay as usual, but from <i>PayPal</i>, containing a USPS tracking number for one of the items. (Just one, but depending on how the enter-tracking-info widget treats the seller, it might be difficult to combine two items under one number.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The twist: when I hit the number, the USPS says it&#039;s only received information for the shipment -- <b>and it received that information on July 10</b>, a <i>week</i> before the auction even appeared!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I&#039;d love it if the stars had foreordained that I was going to receive a pair of Indian eagles (one of the types I don&#039;t have yet) at less than melt before I even saw the listings, but this really isn&#039;t the way I see it unfolding.</p><p><br /></p><p>No big surprise, buyer protection, yadda, yadda -- but a pre-dated tracking number is a new one on me![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
