What is this scam?

I ordered a pair of brand new Sportscraft pants from a seller who had multiple color and size options plus various pieces of the same brand for sale on their profile. 

The pants were one third of the retail price, included free shipping, I assumed it was from a closing down sale or something. 

The pants arrived, direct from a store near my home, for the full price, including express shipping, the receipt was in the bag showing the item had only been purchased the day after my eBay order was placed. 

My parcel had my name spelt incorrectly and the wrong mobile number (so never received the auto tracking info from Australia post like I normally would). Maybe a coincidence but still odd. 

 

I have heard of drop shipping but this seems far more suss and I can’t work out what they gain from this?

Your tickets are irrelevant.

 

There is only one method of payment - Managed.

Looks like a number of accounts operating, that have the appearance of being connected, listing basics almost identical.

One got  neg FB  because  the buyer took the item back to the store (as per receipt)  however refund processed went to the ebay seller.

Possible  all accounts are legit, and connected to retailer,  possibly trying to move old or slow moving stock at discount, just don't understand receipt being for full price.
