FAKE FEDEX TRACKING #s
I just want to say there is a scam going on with fake Fedex Tracking #s. Yes for those who do not know you will go through the normal process of keeping an eye on your package only to see it has arrived, but it isnt at your door. Dont go looking for it, because it never came. It was a seller scam the whole time. When this happens you will get your money back from Ebay, or the scammer, because they can keep doing it as many wont complain when the price isnt a lot or worth the hassle, but to me it is even if it were a dollar, because it is the point of it.
When you get scammed you can also look up the info on the Fedex site. The receipt will say it was delivered, but your address wont appear on the receipt, just the town you live in will. You can also look up the size of the box, the items shipped, and the weight of the total package, and it is all fake.
In my most recent scam the box was 7 times larger then what was needed, the items were listed as 1, when it was actually 3, and the weight was listed as 1 pound when it should have been 6 pounds minimum.
Make sure before you complain about it being a scam you give the scammer a bad review FIRST, because if you dont that will not be an option once they issue you a refund.
Ebay needs to boot these people off, because this is twice in the last 2 months, and it is a big waste of my time. I am ready to cancel my account, and just deal with amazon.

What kind of feedback does your seller have for selling?
You can avoid many fake tracking issues by choosing to only do business with experienced sellers that have a proven track record of delivering similar items as seen by examining the seller's feedback page, and by avoiding inexperienced sellers, sellers with patterns of negative feedback indicating serious problems, or sellers with large gaps in the selling history or recent drastic changes of seller behavior.
