Good luck collecting on your insurance claim for comics shipping them via Media Mail. The $300 Hardcover book may or may not be covered. USPS specifically states that there can be no advertisements within the material sent via Media Mail.

Perhaps I can shed some light on this as I have experienced quite a bit the USPS. I am assuming the seller sent the book via Priority Mail as they paid for insurance and Media Mail does not have any insurance. When you ship something via Priority Mail with the USPS, management there has the capability to actually 'ping' the package at its last known spot. So, if it was delivered the wrong address, they can actually tell that. If that was the case here, yes, insurance is triggered since the USPS delivered it to the incorrect recipient address. I have filed claims like this in the past and it was undisputed. The corollary is that the package was delivered to the correct address....and they can tell this as well by the 'ping' (obviously). In this case, they will simply claim that the package was delivered as per the address on the package. The USPS is not going to get involved any deeper in any way as they fulfilled their contractual obligations as agent. Now, whether or not the actual buyer received it is actually up for grabs due to porch pirates etc etc. ......BUT....in this case, the USPS will NOT pay out on the insurance and eBay WILL side with the seller as long as they have A: a copy of their physical receipt from the drop off to the Post Office as well as B: Notification of delivery from the the USPS. Sellers cannot be held liable due to porch pirates or any other shenanigans along those lines. If the buyer has experienced "missing" packages in the past, then it is up to them to contact the USPS and find out what is going on (they are usually quite helpful) and there are Postmaster General complaints that can be filed. They do take this seriously. If there were lots of missing packages, it really only makes sense to get a PO Box to reduce any further losses.
