I just shipped three packages, all three arrived 4-8 days late due to the fact USPS is still backed up from the 4th of July break.
Also, the fact he lives 90 minutes from you is irrelevant. Anytime a package is mailed USPS it is transported from the shipping facility to a state hub, then Routed to the receiving hub.

"I'm asking for a refund, because I believe the package has been lost." Does not past muster for the USPS.
Despite you're beliefs. It isn't lost until they say it's lost. The appropriate thing to do would have been to wait until it was deemed lost, and we would have addressed the issue at that point.
How you are able to deem the package lost three weeks prior to the USPS being able to declare it lost is beyond the scope of my understanding.

#1) You have anywhere from 90-180 days to file a successful claim via paypal. One day, only five or so days in, is not going to kill you.
#2) If USPS tracking has not indicated a "dead letter", and the item is still actively tracking, there is no breach in contract. A seller can not be held to account for shipper misconduct, unless you can demonstrate negligence. None noted.
#3) If anyone is gifting paypal to people they do not actually know, they are a fool. If anyone is caught ASKING for a gift of a paypal, I will burn your account on the tree of woe.
#4) I would suggest everyone start acting like adults. There is still a code of conduct, and it's being broken pretty regularly in this thread.
#5) A negative feedback from a SME? Yeah, I'm not buying, or selling, anything to them. Sorry.

Honestly when I looked at the tracking, I didn't notice that wasn't shipped until the 8th. It was 6 days after I had paid you and 5 days after the day you committed to shipping the package. Which you missing that date by a couple of days isn't a big deal, poor etiquette but not a big deal. I would have been a pretty understanding had you pointed that out.
"there wasn't anything I could do to help you" Which is politely telling me to pound sand. It isn't you couldn't do anything, you refused to do anything.
But maybe you're right, in that it hadn't been that long since you shipped. If it arrives today or later this week, than great. However, that brings us to the fact that it took you 4 days to ship a package after I had paid you for a barrel you had in hand. This is borderline unacceptable and seems is probably what led to all of this.

It's pretty common on eBay, as well as other sites. I bought some ammo recently online and insurance was an extra charge. Can't remember where it came from as I used that gun bot tool to find it.
When I bought an Elcan optic at $2,175 from an online retailer that used flat rate shipping from the post office, it was only covered for $100. I didn't find that out until after I received the package a day after it said it had been delivered.

What's an SME?

If you don't pay for USPS insurance it seems you can't file a claim.
https://www.usps.com/help/claims.htm
Lost, damaged, or delayed items? You can file a domestic claim for insured, registered, or COD shipments or submit an inquiry for international shipments.
That being said, complain to the originating post office and the receiving post office. I filed a claim before (you have to wait 30 days) and the package was mysteriously found. Maybe just complaining will help since you can't file a claim.
As for the buyer, this isn't his first rodeo with negative feedback either. Dano5326 an SME (Subject Matter Expert)
This is another reason I avoid Paypal. I had a similar situation where the buyer filed a claim with Paypal for something on eBay I sold before the package was scheduled for delivery.
I had already withdrawn my funds because I knew what was going to happen. They tried to yank the funds out of my bank account. Never again.

I don't do much business with ebay or any business that nickle and dime me on shipping of $100+ purchases.
If that was a reputable retailor and something happen to your optic in shipment, they'd replace the optic and deal with the carrier themselves. If that isn't their stance, could you please PM their name, so I could avoid them.

A SME is a subject matter expert. On this site, that represents a pretty knowledgeable person, particularly in small arms -- usually with a Tier 1 military unit background.

If it was priority, $50 insurance is included in all shipments.
