| I think I got scammed?
I am buying a mass air flow sensor from an online forum tt.net for my car. I paypal'ed the guy money. He then gave me a tracking number on march 3rd and said he shipped it out. Everything seemed ok, until I checked the tracking number, which is 70060810000628142863 for USPS.
according to USPS:
Label/Receipt Number: 7006 0810 0006 2814 2863
Associated Label/Receipt:
Detailed Results:
Delivered, March 03, 2009, 10:01 am, AURORA, CO 80015
Notice Left, February 25, 2009, 3:00 pm, AURORA, CO 80016
Arrival at Unit, February 25, 2009, 8:40 am, AURORA, CO 80015
which clearly says it's been delivered to another address. I've e-mailed the seller a few times asking to double check the tracking number but he insist it is the correct one and I will be getting the item soon. It feels sketchy and I think I got scammed. what should I do? file a paypal? please help!

OWNED | Uh... I don't think that's the case. PayPal should check to WHICH address it was sent to, and if it's not his address, it should be sufficient grounds for a chargeback...

Personal experience, as long as it was shipped out and seller has the tracking number, you're left on your own.
Please tell me you used your CC on Paypal...

Label/Receipt Number: 7006 0810 0006 2814 2863
Status: Delivered
Your item was delivered at 10:01 AM on March 3, 2009 in AURORA, CO 80015.
I would just open a dispute with paypal ASAP. The seller will then have to provide a valid tracking number for your item. And if the item does not say it was delivered to your house then paypal will most likely give you back your money. I have gotten tons of random tracking numbers before and usually when i file a dispute on paypal I get a refund me (never been declined a refund). Sometimes they take a long time to do and sometimes they don't it depends on the CS rep helping you.

USPS Tracking is horrible, usually tells you nothing. If he really did ship it out on the 25th, you might want to give it at least till the end of the week. You do have what 40 days to file a claim?

Worse case, if PayPal won't help you, then do a chargeback directly through your credit card.

and the seller also said this on the 9th of march after i asked him about the tracking number:
"thats not true i have checked and it is on its way and thats the correct tracking number."
I'm not sure where he is checking the tracking number but the website clearly shows it's delivered.

It's a good idea to use CC in this case because Visa or Mastercard might be able to go after the seller for you i think. Other wise if you used debit than you already fork out the cash and pretty much left on your own.

file the reversal, raise it to a dispute, if the seller cannot prove it arrived at your address, paypal will refund you his money. if they cannot get it from his paypal account, contact your backup funding source, you just need to fill out a form and the bank will return your money immediately.
