eBay feedback inconsistency

eBay scam on BBC's "Rip Off Britain"
Today's episode of Rip Off Britain on BBC1 included a reasonably complex scam, involving a scammer buying a drum kit, getting it delivered to another eBayer (to whom he had sold a drum kit) and claiming SNAD. Scammer got a full refund from eBay and didn't have to return the kit. It did sound to me as if neither of the…

GGBG and eBay
I recently sold a laptop on eBay. After wiping it I went to ship and typed in the postcode and it does not show on Hermes website.

Different cases here but never actually looked in to it because so far nothing has gone wrong but it's only a matter of time. At the moment I'm off work so no problem.

Looked outside, no parcel. So I check the tracking. There's a close-up photo of my parcel with my correct address. Though the…
