I thought I posted this yesterday but can't find it and no notice of replies so trying again. I purchased an item for $30. I received USPS notification from the Seller, of delivery 3 days after I paid. I did not receive the purchase. The notification said delivery at 12:30pm. I checked everywhere, with mail carrier and with post office. Post Office said they had no package, and further no mail was delivered to my area at 12:30pm. My mail and packages for that day were delivered at 4:30pm. I filed a not received report to eBay. The Seller resent their USPS delivery confirmation. I then received another message from the Seller--this one all in CAPS and !!! that they had filed an eBay issue report. Seller said even if I eventually received the item, to not cancel the not received report. 4 days later, an Amazon truck pulled up and the driver handed me a package...it was the missing item. So I'm wondering how the Seller got a USPS delivery confirmation when clearly the item had not been shipped via USPS. I looked further into the Seller, who I see has negative feedback similar to my situation. Also, the Seller puts a Florida address in listing; but on Seller eBay record, it notes the Seller is in Thailand. I want to leave feedback that helps to inform other buyers. I have been on eBay for 20+ years--am always learning more. I'm not an Amazon shopper--I prefer supporting smaller eBay Sellers if at all possible, and I'm ok to spend a bit more to do this. If I was ok with an eBay Seller who uses Amazon drop-shipping, I would want to know that before I pay. Something about this transaction just doesn't feel right. I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks.
