Interestingly, the shipping label shows as being created in Houston, TX which means if I understand how the USPS software works that he must have a USPS account showing that as his return address.

Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility

MONTGOMERY AL DISTRIBUTION CENTER


Note: my initial tracking verifying label printing also suggested Houston.


Imagine that, my recent "Little Rock" purchase from alt Candiman has also landed in Montgomery.

Would it show like that if you simply changed the ship from zip code? I know you're able to do that when shipping - I do it frequently shipping from a different zip than where I live, but I often forget to switch it back and forth. The USPS apparently doesn't care that much according to my local P.O. What I'm wondering is if he's using that to his advantage by changing his ship from address to a different zone to save a bit of money on shipping.

I really don't know. Tertiary issue anyhow. But I doubt Daniel would try to cheat the USPS, that wouldn't be doing things right.

Wonder when he will come on "one last time" and threaten to sue everyone...that is usually how this works, right? Post, Lie, say you are done, come on again, threaten to sue everyone, and then get banned?

I agree. I bet that's what he's doing though. On Ebay, there's the address for the shipper, but there's a separate "ship from" zip code if you're shipping from a zip that's different than your shipping address. I doubt the USPS polices this much. Not that this is a huge issue, but it's pretty funny that a guy in Alabama has his friend in Arkansas shipping stuff from Texas for him.

Thanks, Peter. Now Candiman has taken his ball and gone home.

I've had returns like this before. The seller changes the address before a return is requested so the eBay generated label will show the new address. Then it is changed back and the card is delivered to the "wrong address". Since it was eBay generated, their buyer protection will pay so the seller has the card, the money and free to scam again....this is also working with all counterfeits on eBay.

I hadn't thought of that.


I had thought that the items being sold don't have to be shipped to the seller. Most of us wouldn't since not having the item in hand while selling isn't a good practice. But if you trust someone to ship when they need to, it's doable. Like if I listed something for a family member in another state but they kept it and shipped when it sold.

Not that that's what's going on here.

eBay would have record of the seller changing the address. All the buyer would have to do is call eBay and ask them to verify that it happened.
