Scammed again
I've been scammed for the 5th time and as usual this scammer's trying to say package was delivered. And there's a tracking number and delivery time. Problem with this one the package was delivered to UPS because UPS's mechanic ordered it. He even verified he accepted it. I told this scammer all this and he keeps saying it was delivered. I filed a claim with eBay and I know I've gotta wait till next week before they step in. But it's happened so many times, and in a month at that. I've got another order waiting to hear from them about shipping and I've got a feeling they're gonna try it too. UPS said these guys get tracking numbers as close to your address and use the tracking number. UPS said they hear this often. What I was wondering is there anyway eBay can get involved earlier? I've gotten my other refunds thanks to eBay stepping in. In the 10 years I've been on eBay, this has never happened. But now, it's almost all the time. I know you've gotta research sellers but it's making it hard staying with eBay. The one UPS guy said stay away from eBay. It sure makes them look bad.

If tracking shows delivery, but nothing arrives, contact the shipping service to determine if the tracking corresponds to a delivery to your address.
If you can obtain hard copy documentation that the tracking does not correspond to a delivery to your address, contact eBay via social media and explain that you have a case of "false tracking" and you should be given the opportunity to provide your documentation to eBay via direct message. This is different than the usual "item not received" case which is handled automatically and which allows the seller to win by providing tracking that shows delivery.

You can avoid many issues entirely 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, sellers with large gaps in the selling history or recent drastic changes of seller behavior or sellers that show signs of being drop-shippers.
