Hi Rick,
Sorry to hear your situation. My only advice at this stage is to:

Check the box for any tampering, and take photos.
I believe the seller should reimburse you immediately, as they are the party who took out the insurance. So file a report with USPS.
Also, I don't know how USPS works, but here in the UK, the parcel is weighed to determine the postage rate. Check USPS labels etc to see if there is anything that can tell you the weight when the package was presented to the Post Office by the seller.

Cheers
Stewart

: I am not going to name any names right now but I did buy a watch
: from a member of this board last week. The box came in empty
: with no watch inside of it. It was shipped via USPS First Class
: Mail and was insured. I noticed the seller sent the Paypal
: invoice as ''goods'' rather than a watch description and while
: long time contributor also manages to ruffle feathers.

: If anyone would like to speak on this matter in private please
: email me. Once more information can be found and it is 100% sure
: that I've been scammed I will be happy to post the name here.
: But I want to be sensitive to the fact that things do get stolen
: while in transit and that I don't want to jump to conclusions
: until an investigation is complete.
