Similar story on AliExpress out of China on a few orders. In this scam the vender would issue a FedEx tracking number that would show delivered, after some time. However, in conversation on line with FEDEX, their records showed the package contained a trivial item (customs declaration on shipment) and that it was delivered to some other address. In my case, all my transactions are paid via PAYPAL. I disputed the charge with PAYPAL, supplying PAYPAL with a transcript of the conversation with the FEDEX agent. Paypal soon agreed with me and imitated a chargeback to AliExpress, giving me the funds again.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stuart Landau via groups.io Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2022 5:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [nanovna-users] Problem with eBay seller SV4401A: CAUTION11 #buying I purchased a model SV4401A 8-inch VNA from eBay seller Hui3165 on Oct 24 because their price was much lower than any other supplier. I followed the tracking on SpeedPAK Standard from China to my home. It was supposed to have been given to the United States Postal Service for final delivery on the afternoon of November 4, but never arrived; I was there. I checked with the postal service and letter carrier the next day and was told that they never had it. I contacted the seller immediately but was told that it had been delivered. On November 6 I opened a case with eBay. On November 11, eBay said because the tracking said that it had been delivered, they closed the case. Not only that, but eBay dropped my transaction on my purchase list so that I could not give negative feedback. I told my bank what had happened and they stopped payment on my credit card. Hopefully, that will not be challenged by eBay. The seller no longer lists the VNA. In the meantime, the seller also showed two other negative feedbacks describing a similar story to mine. The buyers did not receive their packages and were left "hanging in the wind" during the same time period. I believe that the seller had hacked the SpeedPAK tracking. Their tracking showed an error with the USPS chain of custody. The seller, who currently has 136 listings has only 48 sales in six months. Their feedback percentage now is only 71.4% positive and I am unable to leave my negative feedback. I blame both the seller and eBay for how I have been treated. Please be aware of this seller, or any other who has a very low price on a new item, compared to others. Stuart K6YAZ Los Angeles, California |
