New scam or Ebay screwup?
I ordered a battery on ebay and after waiting several days past the due date looked on ebay and noticed they had it posted as delivered. I opened a case with them and the seller contacted me and said he had sent it to the address listed on the invoice. I checked my ebay particulars and to my surprise found out my ship to address had been altered to Jose Carlos
BOSTON, MA 02128-1116 US. Needless to say this is not me and I live on the opposite side of the country from this person. They researched their files and said there was no indication of suspicious activity. I said, isn't the fact that someone changed my deliver to address suspicious enough? They said they would refund me but it has been 3 days and nothing has happened. I went to my ebay and the case looks closed. Either I got scammed or ebay screwed the pooch in a most royal manner! Word to the wise, check all your info before sending or buying anything and change your passwords frequently.

RE: New scam or Ebay screwup?
I don't have a problem usung the Internet as long it is a known business. I buy most of my hobby stuff from Internet sites since the only full service hobby shop left in Tulsa is Hobbytown. e bay is another case altogether....I have never used it and never will. I know there are legitimate sellers on it, but I am not going to spend the time figuring out who they are.
