Scammer

[wattl_65]

Hi, 

I purchased a dvd set on 01/12/24 and was provided a tracking number.

When tracking the parcel, Fedex said it was delivered on 09/12/24. The proof of delivery photo was a large roll of plastic,  left at someone else's house.

I contacted both Fedex and the seller.

The seller said it was a mix up and sent another dvd set, with Australia Post tracking.

The item states "delivered " even though I reported it hasn't. 

Fedex have no history of my address.

Australia Post do not identify the tracking number, today was the latest the second delivery would arrive.

The seller is fraudulent, I asked for a full refund, no message.

I left negative feedback,  he had it removed. 

How is that even possible?

The feedback was removed even though I opened a dispute with Ebay over this seller, provided details about the item not being delivered, both to Ebay and in my negative feedback.

This seller is continuing to scam people, and I was denied my right to leave feedback.

This seller is a major seller, is that why he could have my feedback removed?

I also mentioned in my feedback that the seller is not located in Australia,  but overseas.

I have proof in the false tracking number he provided.

Why didn't Ebay contact me before removing my feedback?

The system is not fair to buyers when they are up against large sellers.

Now I need to wait until 18/12/24 for Ebay to refund my money.

I'm down $40, which might not seem a lot to people, but to me, it is.

I've also reported this seller to Ebay.

When a seller can easily have negative feedback removed,  how honest is the feedback system?

All I see is Ebay supporting a scammer, a fraudulent seller who never had any intention of providing me with what I purchased.

gutterpunkz, I’ve been mulling this over, and it occurred to me that the eBay account may be just the tip of the iceberg if the person’s ID has been stolen – including bank account.

I am still unsure.

Hi countess, anything is possible, but what is certain is that the account is drop shipping to order.  Purchasing via accounts with muti national companies with zero postage costs.  From memory (checked and cross referenced a lot of transactions last night) The seller of the aint half hot DVD set, made a profit of Approx $4,34 for that transaction, with no initial outlay.  However  that may have eventually incurred a net debt of approx $36.  Not recoverable from their 3rd party.   Maybe they should look for a job as a punkawallah, which is likely to pay better

How does an account hijacker, now get paid via managed payments?

I won't be answering any more  questions about the account in question.

The account was hijacked 6 months ago when the last feedback left was a

reverse "nice item" which is a classic scam

I believe the account to be Triangulation Fraud

I wonder if they are going to cop a major hit, due to strike action.

Don't think they will be entitled to sympathy from ebay.

It was removed because I said the item didn't arrive in the feedback. 

The seller then provided "proof" the tracking stated "delivered "

Even though ebay could have seen an open case that the item never arrived and an open dispute on the matter.

Ebay just removed my feedback with no possible way of providing it again.

Thank you to everyone who offered advice.

I'm currently waiting for the refund to show in my account.

Ebay eventually decided a refund was granted.

I have no idea if they are taking my report seriously,  I've had no more correspondence from them.

Hopefully this means Miss 19.8% scammer has been booted and not just a glitch

'Sorry, this Store was not found'

Far too long overdue

Especially considering eBay knew about them and the numerous reports they got about them

For that reason, the feedback is automatically removed by ebay,  No input from the seller was required as tracking showed delivered

Still there Sandy, but no current listings and a dizzying feedback percentage of 20.3%.  🤣

I've got her on my saved sellers and noticed that yesterday - I almost had a cold beer to celebrate it.....

Dang it 😖

No celebration dance for me then
