Received wrong items (suspect scam). Opened item not recieved case...worry this was wrong, what next
I ordered a fairly large 3D printed space shuttle launch model (roughly 18" square, about $560). This was coming from China to USA. I received a small envelope today with two cheap key chains. The tracking matches this order.
I sent a message to the seller. And then through lack of knowledge and gut reaction opened a case of "item not received" reasoning I didn't receive the item I ordered.
Upon further Googling, I see that I probably should have requested a return. It seems likely this case will be closed because tracking will show as "delivered". And once closed, it seems very difficult to reopen or open a new case.
Does anyone have any advice what I should do? This clearly was not what I ordered and seems suspect that is an intentional scam, although interestingly the seller has something near 18k feedback, 95%+ positive.

I am sorry that happened!
You can open a Return Request once the Item Not Received case closes.
Don't close the Return Request, as you can only open 1 Return Request.
You should open a Return Request. The reason could be "Different from what I ordered > Didn't Match Description" if the item you got was not what was shown and described.
You can open your return request here. Just click the photo and follow the instructions.

The seller needs to send a label to you, if they are in China they can't, but you can have them send you money to buy your return label. (If it gets that far)

Do not close your return request until you either have your refund in hand or you have the replacement item. Do not close it because the seller promises you something.
Also 95% is terrible feedback. look for 98.6 and above.
