I bought an item off Facebook and only because the seller accepted Paypal Goods and services. A day after I paid the seller, the seller sent me what he said was a USPS Tracking number which showed the item was in "Pre shipment status" waiting for the item to be tendered to USPS. My radar immediately went off because of how the seller presented it as a real tracking number, kinda like its shipped and on its way. Anyway, I waited 10 days looking every day to see if the item had been tendered to USPS and of course it was not. I then contacted the seller and he gave a song and dance basically saying Hey, I shipped it a couple days after you paid and sent you the tracking so if there is a problem, you need to contact USPS. Well 10 days out and if the seller had really shipped it, he would have known exactly when and had a receipt showing the exact time and date. I then contacted Paypal and have escalated it to a case and now over 30 days out, Paypal is still reviewing. The status of the shipping is still in the Pre-Shipment status too. I would have thought that this was a no brainer for Paypal. Am I missing something? USPS 9400109699938602430048
