USPS Package Acceptance Pending for several days?

My package that I ordered from Ebay has been in Package Acceptance Pending for several days and has not updated since the 26th?

So as of now the tracking information on USPS has not updated from package acceptance pending for 4 days now?

Is my package lost or what is going on?

When you get USPS Package Acceptance Pending it does not mean your package is lost.

If you get the USPS Package Acceptance Pending on your USPS tracking your package actually has been accepted and is in transit.

I get the USPS Package Acceptance Pending quite a bit myself and at first I was worried but eventually the package did show up.

The package I got showed up and never updated to say delivered.

Even after I got the package the package just stayed stuck on the USPS Package Acceptance Pending.

So it can be an error with USPS tracking or the package just was not scanned properly.

The USPS deals with thousands upon thousands of packages per day and it's possible for a USPS employee to forget to scan a package.

If your package does not show up after the expected delivery date then contact the seller to see what is going on.

I too had a package that was saying Package Acceptance Pending and today it finally updated to say out for delivery.

So just keep checking as it does not mean you won't get the package.

Sometimes the tracking just does not get updated until you get the package to your post office box or address.

The package should eventually come to you.
