2. Spending $15 (+tax, with typical price match) on these batteries and recycling 10 ink cartridges will get you $35 rewards and some batteries for your $15 (+tax) spend. Some people think that is a good deal; others do not.
3. Crap at Walmart isn't that cheap anymore.
Anyway if I buy, say the 16 pack AA for $25.69, does that mean I get $25.69 in rewards back for the next month?

they do care about the counterfeits. if they dont, the gov will. their income is monitored by the big guys. its not just a delivery service but its related to national security as well. its one of the reasons my government teacher told us why the usps must be under the government control.
the usps is not losing money. they are making tons of money every year. its the union that is killing it. they promised too much to the previous generations before our economic collapse. that generation just happened to live too long. they just dont die so they keep collecting the (very good) pensions. basically, they are eating the new hires alive.

btw, i got ton of inks if anyones interested. will recycle for you every month too. just need your account # (phone # on the account). you can have as many accounts as you wish. 1 for your dog. 1 for you fish...any phone #. no real physical address needed
odd when i vote item down it stays at +5 but if i change vote to + it goes up to +7 ??
+6 + 1 = +7
I buy them, and use the rewards to pay for the next time I buy their batteries and get another reward. rinse and repeat.

From the NY Post in 2010, "
But the counterfeiters apparently don't have much to worry about.
Detecting fake 44-cent stamps is way down on the list of things overworked Postal inspectors are concerned about.
"They'll crack down more on those tending to be higher quantity mailers," said a Postal source, and not folks trying to slip an envelope or two through without paying.
Helping the counterfeiters even more is the fact that the number of Postal inspectors is way down and things like suspicious packages are much higher in priority.
And although counterfeiting (and even using) fake stamps is a federal offense, it is not the sort of crime that gets prosecutors' hearts racing."

And in 2018, another NY Post writer tried to warn the USPS about a counterfeit stamp operation and the Post Office wasn't interested (see link below). To quote the USPS:
"Very interesting, the inspectors said. "But what would you like us to do? We can't stop the mail machines every time we detect a fake," they said."

So to point #1, if the stamps you get on ebay are counterfeit, the USPS will do nothing about it (maybe if it looks like your 2 year old drew the stamp by hand, they might actually return it). Do a search on the internet, you will be hard pressed to find anyone telling you a mail they sent got returned because the stamp was counterfeit.
As to your point #2, the post office does not make money, they lose money every year and continue to lose money. They have a dying business in first class mail, virtually the only people who mail anything any more are elderly people - most people under the age of 40 are lucky if they mail 2 or 3 letters a year. Even in the package business, they get crushed by FedEx and UPS. The only time USPS is cheaper is for packages that weigh very little or are going short distances. Why do you think virtually all packages that you get from major companies like Macy's or Best Buy come by UPS or FedEx?
