Freight forwarding scam or delay on usps part?

Locked

Discussion interactions are currently paused.

I'm usually suspicious if buyer has zero feedback but usually contacted them they appear safe. Ive had people immediately pay then message me asking to ship to different address. I'll refund and ask them to buy again when address is fixed. Which never happens.

Well, i think I may accidentally be involved in a freight forwarding scam. Buyer has good feedback from a month ago. I dropped off item on 7/12 and it was suppose to be there 7/15. USPS tracking says it's basically running behind and said it's still on the way based on tracking number.

Each day from 7/15 buyer has been saying they didn't get the item and been requesting a refund and open an item not received case.

USPS site says it's on the way but the address is 8550 NW 70th St a freight forwarding company.

I think it's a scam what to do?

My address was hacked, so the last 4 items I purchased in eBay went to the same scam address:

8550 NW 70th st, but eBay does not recognize it as an insecure address but only as a freightage address.

How many other customers are experiencing this situation and being hacked without receiving any protection?

Four items? Did you not notice the shipping address on the first order and update your address after that - and reset your passwords @adrher-4023 ?

Unfortunately no: I have been extremely busy and I only noticed on the 4th order. Already changed address etc but the fact is that this is a SCAM and ebay does not has a mechanism of protection

Ebay trusts that you are the one that makes sure the shipping address you give with your payment was chosen by since you can see the shipping address at the time you click to confirm and make the payment.
