So you're telling me it's this easy to get scammed on eBay? | Rules and safety

I bought an item on eBay from an international seller. The seller uploaded a FedEx tracking number, and the package now shows as “delivered”.The problem is that I never received anything.When I checked the proof of delivery, it only showed that the package was delivered in my city, not to my full address. Even worse, the name/signature on the delivery receipt is not mine.So now I’m wondering: is it really this easy to scam someone here?A seller could theoretically ship a random package to a different address in the same city, get a “delivered” tracking status, and then eBay may treat it as proof that the buyer received the item, even if the tracking does not show delivery to the buyer’s exact address. That's actually crazy. I mean, this basically means you can't safely buy anything on here unless it's from an account with thousands of reviews.
