I knew it would work out, but I'm surprised how quick it was!

Great result. Without locating the dodgy label would this have been game over and the scammer wins?

Excellent news that your end is sorted. 

Infuriates me that he still has the coin. I hope something comes of the police report.

Amazing news m8 what area was the 💩 head from in Merseyside

Great news mate. But I'd still fully chase this up with the police. It's fraud at the end of the day, and guaranteed this absolute c*nt will be doing it to someone else who may not have the good fortune of a friendly local Postie to back up their side of story.

Did he even write anything nice in the card, some words of thanks perhaps?

Jeepers, I bet that is a relief for you! 
Glad to see the common sense has prevailed at eBay

I got all the paper work and photos sorted out as soon as Ebay messages were coming in 😁 

Thank you for your helpful tips Paul , getting hold off that tracked item label Christmas card was key to getting this sorted otherwise I would have been stuffed 😃

This seems really important. It would be great if Royal Mail could do something about this, like making a record of parcels that are delivered with address discrepancies (If they don't already do so).

In the event of a discrepancy, they will always deliver to the address written/printed on the parcel. Obviously, they may not want to increase their administrative workload, but if they were made aware of this type of scam then maybe they'd be inclined to record this information and have it accessible to the sender, who paid for the service.

Glad that you were lucky and managed to get this closed in your favour! Must have been a huge amount of stress dealing with that.

Thank you Chris yes the stress levels were very high I almost had to book a visit with my GP but calmed down during the day. And after starting the process with Ebay I felt back in control of things.

No words inside because it could link him to Fraud , but it is a Merseyside Charity card so that links it to his home area 😀

Reported for sending Christmas Cards out to early 🍻

@stefffana say he doesnt want  a xmas card like that but one of his hero thats on his coffee cup he won!

[ZRPMs]

I know I'm a little late to the congratulations party but still. Well done. It also proves the need to be on good terms with you postie. I recon they've earned a half decent tip this Christmas and may be even a card.

Just sort getting police involved, keep us informed! Let us know any eBay sellers you have recently blocked!🤔😮😁

[NGMD]

I think we can all agree that this was very personal to all of us. 
Fantastic news👏

You have probably saved a few E-Bay sellers a few quid. They chance it on something small before taking a higher value item. It’s now hurt him in the pocket and probably lost that account and address is ‘marked’.

For members here-his user name? because he’ll try again.

He used a Best One convenience store as his parcel drop off address , so difficult to trace him that way. Also just checked my orders and looks like Ebay have payed his refund which seems strange or maybe they are investigating further and are holding the funds . His account is still in use.

 I'm fairly sure the Police will pay him a visit in Merseyside.

The location in itself proves the buyer is guilty of fraud and theft 

[flyingveepixie]

I'm glad you got this sorted in your favour, but it begs the question : will you be selling any more pms on ebay in the future..?  (I hope the answer is a resounding NO..!😁)
