...If the FF is in on scamming a seller here, then this certainly could happen. Not sure how many FF's would actually risk that, but I simply don't know.
There's nothing that even suggests that the freight forwarder had anything to do with this.
When you don't know what's going on, the logical thing to do would be to not say anything.
I don't post to have your approve. I did not say the FF was involved, I said it is unlikely they would take such a risk.

Not only that but the freight forwarding address was in Miami, which raises flags. USPS tracking said "This item has been intercepted on January 2, 2024 at 10:25 am in XXXXX and redirected as requested by the sender." Which is great because since the buyer is the one sending back the item, I have little hope of receiving it back. Apparently eBay finds this as acceptable, and the buyer escalated the case and the return was found in their favor so now I am out of the money and the phone. I will NEVER accept this decision eBay. I will fight you to the end.
Don't get too happy yet. If they used the label you sent them, YOU are the sender.

I picked it up and video taped it while opening it at the post office, and of course, what they sent was a brand new sudoku book to replace the brand new phone I sent. Thanks eBay!!!!!!
Unfortunately Ebay will not accept the video as evidence of anything.
