Shipping scams
Is EBay doing anything to address the rise in fraudulent sellers ripping off buyers by providing fake tracking information. How are these scam artists able to enter fake tracking information into the buyers order??

Mentor2 years agoThe scammers are using real tracking numbers of items shipped to another location in the same zip code, at least in some cases.
Good advice for dealing with false tracking:

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