PLEASE HELP MASS REPORT THIS SELLER SO OTHER BUYERS CAN BE SAFE
The seller is a new seller who started selling in April 2026. The seller listed item #178023091034, and on April 6, 2026, I purchased two of these items. The first order (#20-14451-84841) was shipped via FedEx with tracking number 429416274258. The second order (#15-14458-84955) was shipped via UPS with tracking number 1Z595R421307208658.
On April 7, both carriers marked the items as delivered—FedEx at 10:49 a.m. and UPS at 1:21 p.m. However, I never received either package. After contacting both FedEx and UPS, I learned that the parcels were sent to entirely different addresses, not associated with mine. The seller had linked my phone number to these shipments and then provided delivery confirmations for those incorrect addresses as proof of delivery.
I might have believed this was a shipping error if it involved only one carrier, but having two separate companies deliver to incorrect addresses in different ZIP codes strongly indicates fraudulent activity. EBAY Money Guarantee covered

Mentor4 months ago@mojiakin I am so sorry that you had two bad sellers. It is best to avoid deals that are too good to be true and buy from sellers with a good feedback record.
1)
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 "Suspicious seller activity"
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.instagram.com/ebay/
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.
