This could be helpful, albeit technically not a chargeback - it is worth the OP contacting them. Although, the laptop has to arrive with them first presumably....it may be worth contacting Parcel Force tomorrow (or via social media today) to see if they can help first.

Social media is probably not a bad idea, I've always had success contacting companies that way.

Oh wow Lorian, I will submit this immediately.

Thanks

Hi Soolin,

I don't really use social media, but I will give it a go.

Can you advise on what social media should I use to contact Parcel? Force.

Thanks

Facebook private message or twitter (although I can't help with twitter as I don't use it)

Sometimes the reassurance (and downright cheek) of a scumbag scammer actually opening a discussion with you through ebay is enough to fool your brain into not worrying too much. We are all so busy watching for the usual scams, paypal and collection- shipping to wrong addresses etc that we forget these older scams.

Do not feel embarrassed. Just learn from it.

Hopefully you will not lose your money.

Have you called Paypal and advised them - it will likely be of no help but if you report it to Action Fraud and call PayPal with your reference number they may assist - hopefully.

Use twitter for social media contact. Sign up if you don't have an account. Be concise, balanced and don't rant (not suggesting you would).

The address 17224 S. Figueroa Street
Gardena, CA (California) 90248
appears to be a shipping / forwarding service so the customer number will be what they call the suite number B0222.
I doubt this in itself helps stop the consignment but it does add another layer of information as to how they operate. https://planetexpress.com/

Is it possible the police could get the information from planetexpress ?
