I received a badly damaged letter from this area and I have no idea who it's from, but i fear it may have been a payment for something I was selling in the trading post.

2) 2 stars! Woohoo!

Otherwise, does anybody else here recognize that envelope?

I was from an eBay seller after all. I still don't understand why he mailed me a 128MB FPM DIMM in a standard envelope, but go figure... Anyway, new postal security measures say that if the envelope is greater than .07" think it will be hand sorted, so a machine didn't cause the damage. Instead, the envelope was purposely opened to make sure it wasn't some kind of bomb or other threat.

Once deemed hamrless, the item should have been re-packaged and sent on it's merry little way to me. This, obviously, was nopt the case. The seller filed a complaint with the USPS and they're at a loss to explain why i received an empty envelope. They said I either should have received the envelope and it's contents or nothing at all. If the USPS can't find the DIMM by Thursday (although knowing that it's floating around somewhere outside of its anti-static bagging doesn't make me feel too great about its integrity) the seller will send me a new one.

Either way I trust that I'll get a 128MB DIMM one way or another, but I'm wondering whether i should leave the seller negative feedback. I mean, it's not his fault that the USPS decided to do whatever they did with it, but if he had simply stuck it in one of those free Priority Mail cardboard boxes that are made for VHS tapes, just like every other eBay seller who I've bought RAM from has done, I would have received the DIMM at least a week ago.

What would you do?
