Multiple orders not getting delivered and going to the wrong address.

Question

I've been ordering pantry items on ebay, stuff like coffee, paper towels, chips, and a bunch don't get delivered, tracking says delivered but no package arrived, the proof of delivery photo when there is one is of another house. No idea why this is happening, double checked the shipping address ebay has on file, double checked the shipping address Paypal has on file, both are good. Has anyone else had this happen? What do think is going on? Seller errors over and over?

What kind of feedback do your sellers have? Where are they registered?

Almost no one is paying retail shipping to deliver such items unless the margins are very high.

Therefore you are likely dealing with overseas retail drop-shippers or possibly triangulation scammers.

You may be better off setting up an account with a local grocery and getting pantry items delivered that way. Rather than going through middlemen using eBay.

A check of the registration location of the last four sellers you received feedback from: US, Pakistan, Australia, Italy.
