Buyers Beware
Hello Ebay community! I wanted to bring this to buyers attention that this seller is a scammer from the UK that advertises overnight shipping and from the US. They will send you a tracking info and then a ridiculous shipping date when it said overnight free delivery. The tracking will track and say it was delivered but no package ever delivered. Contacted ebay and they say oh its delivered, so I contact usps and they say its a scam, buyer beware of this seller!!! Happy and safe buying!!

We aren't allowed to "name and shame" here.
Hope you get your situation resolved.

"this seller is a scammer from the UK that advertises overnight shipping and from the US. They will send you a tracking info and then a ridiculous shipping date when it said overnight free delivery".
Free shipping of any kind is often only available if the seller is shipping within their country. Especially, if they use an overnight service. International over night services cost an arm and a leg, and then you may also be charged customs fees on top of the shipping cost. Did you click on the underlined See details button in the Shipping: section before you bought the item? You need to do that whenever buying items coming from another country, especially now with the Tariff situation.
FYI. many "Registered as a business seller in the U.K." sellers are actually China based, but have warehouses in the countries they are registered from. If the seller from the U.K. is the one I think it is from looking at your feedback profile, they have a very poor feedback percentage and they have pulled the tracking scam on others before. Go to your own feedback profile page and click on their number of feedback which will open the classic view feedback page. Then click on the numbers of neutral and negative feedback they have received, to read only those comments.
"Contacted ebay and they say oh its delivered, so I contact usps and they say its a scam".
eBay's initial Item Not Received (INR) system is automated and can only look for a delivered scan and nothing else. Since your item was to be delivered by USPS read what I wrote about how to get the info you need from a post office in the "Need advice item not received" link @pikabo-icu posted. Then look at the next answer for ebay's social media platform links.

OP1 year agoThank you very much! Your links are very helpful. I 'm currently awaiting ebays decision based on the item stating delivered. I even filed a postmaster general case against them. Just trying to do my part & prevent someone else from being scammed. Thanks again & best to you!
