Could be getting scammed ??

[mintacular]

#1. Even though the recepient could've felt an empty mailer and should've returned it to the PO, it is natural to open up a sealed package (even if ripped--maybe the seller reused an old mailer)...Maybe he thought there was a note inside saying "Sorry, here's a refund, card was sold to someone else, or some other personal note..."

#2. I do find it odd that the seller thought postage is higher, but then again maybe it's a newbie?? I don't think they would post here to defend themself if they were just out to scam people...

#3. While it is possible the package was tampered with, there are very strict laws and punishments against postal employees who steal so keep in mind that postal crimes are not all that common...
