Just check this recent feedback.

https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/timtr2503?filter=feedback_page:RECEIVED_AS_SELLER&_trksid=p2047675.l2560

So somehow the person was selling Rokus and people were getting messages from UPS saying it was delivered. Yet no one got anything. I can't even open a case for 5 more days since I have to wait for the "seller" to respond, which won't happen.

So, how did they pull this off? It says the item that was "delivered" to me on the 3rd weighs 79 pounds. That's no Roku. lol

You're screwed if the tracking number says "Delivered". Happened to me once.

They probably just used a randomly obtained tracking number to submit to eBay. I'd guess that if you were to enter the tracking number on the UPS site, you'd find the destination address isn't yours.

It just says delivered to my town. As I said it says the item delivered was 79.9 pounds which isn't exactly what I ordered.

I dunno, look at that new feedback. It was all positive when I bought it. Ebay should be able to see something's going on.

I just opened a case with Paypal and told them to check the feedback contact the authorities. He/she sold over $5000 worth of Rokus so that's a felony.

ITT: why you always look at the feedback rating, and investigate if it's below 100%.

Read my above post. They had 100% positive when I purchased. Then sold a ton of the same item that would sell fast with fake tracking numbers.

I also noticed their location in past listings is often in different states.

PayPal and eBay will essentially always side with the buyer so just open a fraud case and you'll get refunded 100%

I opened one with Paypal and they closed the ebay dispute and removed the feedback I left. Said they're getting with ebay and will have word back to me by the 9th.

Pretty sure I'm fine and it's not a lot of money anyway. It's just the first time in 20 years of being on ebay I saw something like this.

If it doesn't say the address then ebay should side with you when you point that out.

I'm pretty sure they'll side with me anyway as more and more negative feedback rolls in saying the same thing.

He sold 129 of these and the negative comments just started. I really hope this dumbass is actually in America and gets nailed.

Sure they weren't just stolen?

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

Lol no. My tracking number doesn't even reflect what I ordered. I'll have to get with UPS to see exactly what address in my town it was delivered to and from where. The last feedback comment says they contacted them and it was someone's Amazon order. Every one of the Roku feedbacks is almost identical. None received.

So apparently the seller somehow got a list of tracking numbers by town and used them as fakes to try and trick ebay.
