Item delivered to a different address than the one requested - new scam by sellers on eBay | Questions and answers among users

After hundreds or maybe thousands of transactions with eBay, both as a buyer and as a seller, I’ve run into the latest frontier of the scammer “seller”: Item delivered to a person and address different from the one requested.How is that possible? Basically, the “professional” seller provides an SDA tracking code for an item sold to another person; in my case, it was even an Amazon shipment!This kind of code doesn’t show either the name or the address of the recipient, who in fact is another person in another city who unknowingly bought a completely different item. The tracking code only shows the departure and arrival of the item purchased by the other person, and then the (their) package is delivered to them.When a dispute is opened for item not received, the only thing the dazed eBay support does is check the tracking code, without verifying either the recipient’s name or the delivery address, and siding with the dishonest seller.
