    I did purchased insurance on the book for the full amount. I told the buyer to get a refund from USPS for non-delivery. The buyer said, USPS refused. Because the tracking number showed the book was delivered. 

    Total USPS failure. They never pay. 
    But that is wrong anyways. You collect the insurance not the buyer. USPS should have sent the buyer to you, not respond to his request.

    The purchaser of the insurance holds the receipt and has the claim.

    No, the post office is responsible, not the seller. Besides the buyer states he had this happen before which means they’ve likely pulled this scam previously. 

    I am not sure what happened, it may be a scam. But taking everyone at their word, in this situation you are correct the USPS is at fault.

    But the carrier is an extension of the seller as a third party. The buyer assumes responsibility when they possess the item not before. Non- performance by the third party lies squarely on the seller. That’s why you buy insurance, whether that cost is passed on makes no difference, it behoves the seller to insure for delivery. It is no different than if you buy a big screen TV from a big box retailer and they employ a third party warehouse that drives a fork lift through the screen. That is on the seller.

    Sold a comic to this new buyer on the ebay. Paid and the book was delivered on July, 6th at 3:26PM at his residence. He opens a "Item not received" today. The situation hasn't been resolved yet. But he should definitely be blocked. The worst part about this is my funds are now on hold. :pullhair:

    Here's his nonsense:

    Very unfortunate situation, sorry you had to go through this. But I don’t see the buyer being at fault here if book was misdelivered.

    The question is who is in possession of the book?

    The seller hands the book to a 3rd party. That does not transfer ownership to the buyer. Only when the book arrives at the buyer is it the property of the buyer. I know it sucks, but you employed the third party(USPS) and YOU are responsible if the third party does not perform.  
    IMHO this is on you if the facts prove the book indeed was mishandled by the USPS
