I spoke to someone at my local post office. He suspects, as we all do, that something was indeed shipped from China to Trenton NJ, and that wrong tracking number was given to me through ebay. He said that while something was indeed delivered, there's no picture, which is strange he said, because usually as a package passes through some post office everything is photographed. I asked if this suggests that someone might have hacked the system he said he doubted it, since they do have it marked as being delivered.... but I don't know. He agreed that yes, as far as the USPS is concerned they did their job and delivered a package addressed to NJ and it's really up to ebay at this point to refund us our money. I suspected as much.
But as to the question of whether or not this is fraud, or mail fraud, I'm leery of anyone claiming to know for sure one way or another until all the facts are in. We don't know enough to say.... if for example, these "small packet" shipments are drugs from China using ebay purchases as a front to get them into the states using the USPS, I'd say it might be. If nothing was actually shipped, sure, it's not. But without the facts, how can anyone here be sure of anything? Hence why there is still debate here.... not certainly, just discussion on the possibilities.
