Getting charged for items that show fake tracking and never receive your item
Why is eBay letting sellers steel money from buyers that have fake delivery posts get away with not delivering your package and then backing them up when you open a case on the seller Lately eBay has been unreliable for shoppers or at least for me never had this problem for the past 14 or 16 years. If it continues to keep happening who can afford to shop on this website anymore?

Mentor2 years agoCheck your order details to make sure the correct address appears there. That is the address the seller is required to ship to.
Contact the shipping service to determine if the tracking number you received was for a package that was addressed to you.
Good advice for dealing with false tracking:

What kind of feedback does your seller have?
You can avoid many false 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.
