Anyone else have a crafty scammer who ships a 1oz package via USPS to a bogus address in your hometown and then uses the delivery confirmation to prove to PayPal that they didn't shaft you? I had USPS look into my case and they verified the use of a partial name, a totally incorrect shipping address, and that it was a 1oz package not a 5lb package as it should have been. Shared this info with PayPal but it would seem the crafty scammer is somewhat more intelligent than the good folks at Pay Pal who are supposed to be providing us some sort of protection from this type of stuff. At least USPS decided to open an investigation due to several complaints and the overall shady issues involved with this case. As the seller was able to provide a delivery confirmation, regardless of the apparent discrepancies, Pay Pal chose to deny my claim. Decided to contest it with my credit card company. Have to laugh, got an additional email from the helpful people at Pay Pal now telling me that they will not be able to investigate or decide my claim since the credit card company is involved, something they did a couple of weeks ago. Word of advice, use your credit card directly and avoid a middle man joke when making purchases.
