Brushing Scam

Question

I have just received two parcels that I have not ordered or is listed on my purchase history. I think this is a bruising scam but cannot find away to contact eBay regarding this. Can anyone help.

It also could be the fake tracking number scam. That is where a scammer sends a cheap item to the same zip code that the buyer is in. That is good enough for many places to accept it as delivered. I think that is the real reason but the news media does not want to say that and have others find out how easy that scam is to pull off.

@planetgoblin < I think this is a bruising scam > According to the USPS – https://www.uspis.gov/news/scam-article/brushing-scam – the main purpose of the brushing scam is for the perpetrator to use your account to write themselves a positive feedback. It didn't explain how they manage to do that. Maybe it's easier on Amazon or somewhere. But, anyway, check your feedback "Left for Others" to see if there's something there that you didn't post. To report a seller, or "seller" as it were, it's at https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/resolving-issues-sellers/report-issue-seller?id=4022
