Yep. The limit for Media Mail seems to be 70 pounds.
Bound Printed Matter's limit was 15 pounds before all of us little shippers got screwed....
I had to send a package out yesterday using Parcel Post. (Since FedEx ground seems to have an insurance limit of $100... gotta look into that matter more thoroughly.)

I am in the middle of a Media Mail dispute right now. I sent 66 Preacher comics (#1-66, no #12, + Vertigo Preview- 1st appearance) via Media Mail from Iowa to Austin, Texas on Sept 2nd and they never arrived. So the buyer filed a Paypal dispute and now Paypal has me on a negative balance. I lost money on the sale, now I will be out the books (unless the postal service returns them to me... good luck there, huh??). I am printing out all my paperwork (Paypal dispute, auction page, postal receipt) and will go to the post office tomorrow to attempt to put a trace on the package. I'll update here if there is any news on this very frustrating situation...

I hope it works out okay! Was the package insured? I've had Media Mail parcels take a VERY long time to arrive, but a month or more in transit is a little unusual. My guess, though, is that it will show up eventually. And the Post Office probably won't treat it as lost for at least 90 days (but I'm not 100% sure about that)...
