I bought a piece of camera equipment on eBay. The "seller", it turns out, was a completely fraudulent operation. They mailed a box to a pizza restaurant in my hometown so that the tracking information would show it delivered in my hometown without a specific address. I went to the post office and they traced the item for me using the shipping label on file associated with that tracking number and learned it had been delivered to the pizza restaurant. The USPS sent the carrier to the restaurant to determine what they had received and they said they had received an item from Severten, Oregon, (the sellers location) addressed to the pizza restaurant. The box contained paper plates. They had no idea what it was about and threw it away. I provided all this information to eBay, including a photo of the shipping label associated with the tracking number and the name and phone number of the United States Postal Service delivery manager who did confirm all this information. Even after presenting that they refused to issue a refund saying that the tracking information showed that it was delivered. They said the decision could not be further appealed. Ebay is facilitating fraud and helping the seller rip me off. What is my next step?
