What a shame. I know that's the understood chance one takes buying on ebay, but still. I haven't purchased anything from them in a long time and not too sure I want to. I hope Paypal refunds your money.

Rafael, I would love to visit you and look at your collection and if I'm ever in the area you'll be the first to know.

Sometimes you can get it from the PO before the return is processed. I'm not sure if a package intercept will recall a returned package... https://retail-pi.usps.com/retailpi/actions/index.action will tell you if the package is eligible for an intercept.
Go to the tracking for your package and it should show the return to sender and reason, print it to PDF and send to eBay
Thank you Laura, always so helpful. I am getting more than $100 worth of entertainment from this package: it was delivered to the wrong address, I filed a case which caused the USPS to retrieve the package after delivery, USPS sent it back to sender but somewhere i the process it ended up back at the local post office - meaning it went back but not all the way, at some point it was routed back to me. I was able to place an intercept request to hold it at the post office for my pick up - which means the address of record is to my house.
It is at the local office, if the hold request happens I will pick it up tomorrow. Else it will be delivered.
Will I end up owning an Ultra Micro Nikkor 55mm 2.0 for one hundred shekels, or nothing at all?
Destiny unfolds!

Well, yes. But there are cloudy skies, and then there are cloudy skies! When I say "heavily overcast," I'm talking about skies that (together with the acute Southern slant of the sun) render it dark enough to require ISO 800 to avoid camera-shake blur, motion blur, or tripod use in a treeless area. Add trees, and there is little point. This morning, there is thick fog to increase the lightlessness of it all. Unlike the "Nature's softbox" type of day, which can be quite photographically inspiring, the weather around here on the weekends (and quite a few weekdays), so far this month, has been decidedly uninspiring. The rain is really just an added, mildly bone-chilling bonus.
So, for now, as I await an improvement in the conditions, I will continue to post newly processed photos from the summer, Here are a few more from Olympic Park in June, courtesy of the lenses identified in the captions.

I think I'm with Glen, when it's heavy grey outside, and windy, and especially if you add rain, I'm for other activities most of the time.

With Laura on our side, we should have no fear of USPS shipping mishaps, at least when it comes to the procedures for trying to solve the issues.

This should be a sticky in the Buy and Sell forum…
WOO HOO! Nice bargain! You should hear the sound the system we clerks use in the mornings, I call it the clown car sound, when a package has an intercept on it.. I laugh every time.

I'm known for finding the difficult packages in the office too. People accuse the carrier of stealing their stuff when it fell into cracks in the hampers and it was missed by the carrier, I'll go pull up the shelf in there and look in every nook and cranny of the case to find stuff. Most times I find it.

I did an airshow a few years back where it was icky skies in the morning, rain, and the reflections in the puddles were fantastic. Challenging, yes, but I liked what I got.

Collection of "in the forest" fall settings that I love to be in, the quiet, the smells, the sights, and the atmosphere are just great. Sadly, that's over for another year now. All three shot with the 25-50; as you may have already surmised, this and the 75-150 were the only two MF lenses to make it on my limited fall trip thru PA and WV, and the 75-150 only got mounted once I think.
