Oura 4 ring
I placed an order for this item on Nov 27th and was given a bogus tracking ID which shows the item being delivered to an AZ address on Nov. 19th. I live in MA and if an order was place 8 days later how could it be delivered on 11/19? I have messaged both the seller and ebay with no response. I now think the posting is bogus or a scam. What should I do?

Mentor10 months ago@yvie77 I'm sorry that happened. It sounds like you are a victim of the false tracking scam. This is a problem not just with bad sellers on eBay but other sites too.
Sorry if this is a bit of a form reply but sadly we get so many of these that I need to use a macro>
1) First, call the postal carrier to see if the tracking number label had your name and address on it.
a) If your name and correct address were on the label, ask the postal carrier to review the GPS on the delivery, retrieve the item from the wrong house, and deliver it to you.
b) If your name and address weren't on that label, ask the postal carrier if they will put this in writing. Also, ask for the weight of the package using that tracking number. Follow the rest of the steps here:
2) Then, report the seller using this process
https://www.ebay.com/help/action?topicid=4022
Important, select "The seller has violated one of eBay’s policies"
then "Other"
Explain that the seller is using fake USPS tracking numbers
Include these phrases
Seller uploaded tracking not associated with my transaction
Tracking details were not accurate
Seller use a false tracking number
Don't write a novel, it's initially being read by a computer, that's why I want you to use those 3 specific phrases in the message.
3) Finally, contact Customer Service and inform them that the seller uploaded a "false tracking number" on your purchase. Request a refund.
Use the Customer Service that is on social media this way:
- https://www.facebook.com/ebay
- https://www.instagram.com/ebayforsellers/
Just send a private message to the page. Explain you have a fake or false tracking number situation.
If the above steps do not result in a refund then you will have to pursue a chargeback with your funding source ( bank, credit card, etc) . Once you ask your funding source to step in eBay can no longer assist you.
