I ordered engine oil through a seller, but instead of the 0W16 I ordered, I received 0W30.The strange thing is, I placed the order on eBay, but it was delivered from Walmart. Do you know why? The seller is trying to hide their identity. Afterward, they sent me a message telling me to click on the link below, saying it would show the item's current location, and other reasons, but they're all fake.A few days ago, I inquired about the wrong oil that was delivered, but I received no response.I requested a return and printed a return shipping label, but eBay hasn't responded.I checked the FedEx tracking on the label, and it said it had already been delivered. Furthermore, the return location was Walmart.Upon further investigation, I found that the tracking number on eBay was different from the one I printed. What's even more absurd is that I received an email and text message from Fedex saying they lost an item and gave me a link to contact them, saying I could get a refund of up to $100. Only the seller knows the tracking number, and they also know the return has been initiated. This is probably a ploy to steal my information or my account information, promising a refund.If you ordered something from eBay and it arrived in Walmart packaging, please beware.I hope these scammers disappear, making eBay a safer place to trade.
