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

So the suppossedly Ultra Micro Nikkor package was retrieved by the USPS but they could not deliver to me as it did not have my address, it was sent back to the seller/sender.
Now I know how this scam works, the seller ships to a nearby address, the package is recorded as delivered when it really was not, and it was probably an empty box.
When opening a case in EBAY they closed it because the package was delivered, their system stops tracking upon delivery and does not track the return. The return shows in the USPS system but not in the EBAY system.
I did appeal asking EBAY personnel to look at the USPS tracking, not at theirs.
It was a simpler scam than I thought.
We will see what EBAY does with my appeal, next is PAYPAL to get my $100 back.
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?
