i looked further into the ebay news and find it hard to believe,,because someone brought up a good point to me how would the postal serveice know if a package was from ebay it's not like you put a tag on every package that says ebay on it radames, This is something fo which I can actually find a definite answer. My wife takes our business mail to our local post office daily. We live in a small town. The post office has three window clerks, some sorters and of course the letter carriers. My wife knows the window clerks by name and vice versa. They have told her that soon they are going to need a separate room just for Ebay packages. They were teasing a little but the point is they knew what was connected with Ebay. I do not use Ebay so am not sure how they operate but I will have my wife ask the people at the post office how they know an Ebay package. I am certain we will get an honest answer on that one. By the way, I could get a reasonable read as to how busy Amazon was last fall because they kept a count of Amazon packages. That was easy since the box has Amazon right on it. Glenn
