Details:

On October 20, 2018, I initiated a Buy it Now listing on eBay for a brand new in the package Intel i7 8700K CPU. 97 The listing may be found here.

After purchasing my item on October 21, 2018, the buyer (qbws_us_2iimstaxd) no longer registered, paid for it using PayPal from a non-U.S. bank account. I sent the item on 10/21/18, and it was delivered to San Diego at the following address on 10/24/18:

Gu Wen Cheng
325 W Washington St Ste 2937
San Diego, CA 92103
United States

Between the time that the item was purchased and the item was delivered, the buyer's account was suspended by eBay.

On October 30, 2018, within a week of the item being delivered, an Item Not as Described claim was filed against me. I immediately did some research on Google, and found information on this website that the buyer and/or their suspected associates pulled nearly identical ploys against other eBay sellers.

During the course of the dispute, the buyer was asked to return the item to me in order to receive a refund. A tracking number was provided by the buyer, per PayPal request. Per the USPS, the tracking number showed a delivery on November 6, 2018, to a location in my zip code of a few miles away from my address.

In the meantime, I have filed a mail fraud report with the US Postal Inspection Service, a police report with the Police Department for suspicious activity, and also a report with the Internet Crime Complaint Center. I hope that this theft ring is caught as soon as possible.

The buyer's domain name is registered by GoDaddy.com, and the registrant country is Hong Kong.

They are still actively scamming. They just got me too. One piece of information that may help me is that I have a copy of the signature of the person that signed for the package. They had the package delivered to a different address after I shipped it.

I am really sorry this happened to you. EBay and PayPal need to know that this person (or these persons) are repeat offenders. File a report with the BBB to the attention of eBay and PayPal corporate offices. PayPal customer service can be awfully stubborn, at least in my experience, so you may have to put in some effort into the fight.

Thank you. I will do whatever it takes to make sure these scammers are known by the proper authorities and that they are brought to justice. Out of curiosity, were you able to get your money back after all of the hassle. Good luck out there.

Hello, yes, I did receive my money back. I received a formal, respectful response from PayPal's executive escalations to my BBB complaint. However, PayPal does stand by their policy of accepting a delivery status (city, zip) for considering that an item has been delivered. Until this policy changes, scammers will continue to scam, especially with the USPS. UPS may be a safer option (deliver only to the receiver's address) for return shipping.

Excellent. Thanks for the tip. I will keep you updated related to how things play out. Filing with the BBB right now.

I would like to add that the Attorney General's office in my state was also very helpful in resolving this issue.
