I purchased an iPhone on Swappa Saturday (8.21.21). The payment was processed through PayPal.
Per Swappa the buyer would have to ship by the end of the day Tuesday for a weekend purchase. I asked the seller a couple times when it would ship and was radio silent. This morning, tracking was added. It says delivered in my city/state Monday but it's a scam. The shipment was created 8.18.21 which is three days before the listing was created and I purchased the item.
I opened a dispute but after looking through the forums it looks like others have been scammed by the fake tracking number. The seller has a tracking number showing delivered in my city/state even though it's not my item or delivered to my address. Will PayPal side with the seller? What can I do to get my money back? I cannot afford to throw away $850. Swappa has already contacted me and banned the seller (new account/no feedback) but they said to go through PayPal for the refund.
