Bought item, scammed fake tracking number

I bought an item on eBay a few days ago from a zero feedback seller. Shortly after the purchase eBay cancel, the seller's account and remove the listing. It was for a Roku.

 

Most of us know what  Roku is, they don't weigh very much. EBay started a resolution process that I didn't realize before starting a PayPal process which cancelled the eBay resolution process....

 

The seller provided UPS, tracking number for a shipment containing Three separate packages all weighing 30 pounds or more.

 

This fake tracking number does not even have my town as the destination but a city Two Towns over. Different zip code, different County even.

 

I just now noticed the fake tracking number and where this package is not headed to. Obviously, I've been scammed. What should I do at this stage?

Here are the three steps I would follow:

  • You will likely be refunded automatically within 7 days, so just be patient.
  • If not, go to your purchase history and find the delivery date.  On the day after that passes, try to file a claim for item not received ... if eBay allows this to happen (they might not), then wait about 3 days until you can escalate the claim to get your refund.
  • If you are unable to open the claim, then file a claim with your credit card or debit card company (hopefully you used one of these).

Bought item, scammed fake tracking number

I purchase 2 cases from a seller. They purposely sending half my  purchased items. Then i contact and they send missing items and put the tracking info for my second purchase, so it shows delivered but i got only my  first orders items, but none from second.

Ebays automated decision closed my case because it shows deliver , i want refund on my second case and report the seller a fraud petron.

I gave proves of contact emails and pictures and just items of first purchase.

The seller has lots of negative reviews same as mine but ebay seems doesnt care.

Anyone has same case like mine? Wants to report a seller?

Disagree with ebays decision?
