Starting to think I’m being scammed and would like some feedback. Purchased an item on 3/16 and paid immediately with PayPal. Add stated it would ship usps priority and should be there by 3/25. Seller immediately emailed after sale stating he would ship out on Monday... I contacted seller twice during the week asking for tracking info with no response. Today 3/26 was the 1st day I could use the eBay resolution center so I filed a report stating I had not received a package or confirmation of shipping. A few hours later the listing was updated with a ups tracking label that was generated today! I’m assuming this is some sort of a scam to draw out the timeline for refund? No one would really expect you to wait 10 days to ship correct?

I am curious what you will do when ebay gives you a refund, then you receive the item after the case is closed.

That's also a scam: Sellers know you don't know, and hope you will close the refund request since the now-provided tracking shows something on its way somewhere.
You should escalate the request as scheduled. Then several scenarios:
- eBay refunds, and the item arrives late:
-- You decide to keep the item, you repay the seller.
-- You start* a return request for Does not match description**
*eBay allows you to start a return request after a refund request
**eBay considers the estimated delivery date a part of the description
- eBay refunds, and the item arrives somewhere else:
--
- eBay delays, the item arrives late, and eBay doesn't refund:

Yes @madscientistmike you now have scenario 3:
1. eBay refunds, and the item arrives late:
...
2. eBay refunds, and the item arrives somewhere else:
...
3. eBay delays, the item arrives late, and eBay doesn't refund:
-- You start* a return request for Does not match description**
*eBay allows you to start a return request after a refund request
**eBay considers the estimated delivery date a part of the description
4. eBay delays, the item arrives somewhere else, and eBay doesn't refund:
...
Click I would like to > Return this item. Then select the reason Doesn't match description. Type the comment Arrived late. And submit the return request.
eBay considers the estimated delivery date to be a part of the description, and the seller is responsible for return shipping if the item arrives after the estimated delivery date.

No I’d be glad to send the product back, I didn’t expect them to wait 10 days to even generate a label to ship it!
Hi @madscientistmike suggest this post for details:
