She's emailed back (FINALLY!) and said that she's in hospital right now and someone else mailed the package on her behalf but that's really weird because she told me that she had mailed the package herself and she couldn't give me the tracking number at first because she had left the tracking number at work. So which is which? Did she send it to me herself or did someone else do it for her? And she doesn't know where the bag is right now because there are so many rooms and closets in her house. WTF? Who was doing the selling then? I don't know about other people but when I'm selling something, I usually have it ready to be sent off. I know that she definitely had to have the bag out to have taken pictures of it.

That sounds
really fishy. To me it honestly sounds like she's trying to scam you. If she wrote the address on the package all wrong, it could be because she was hoping it wouldn't get to you or would be delayed or possibly returned (she'd still have a receipt saying that she sent the package in case you opened a dispute/complained) and she could try to claim that she
did sent you the correct item and that
you're the one trying to scam
her. So I'm hoping you've kept the box and all the packaging material that it came in. The fact that she first went on holiday, then she's in the hospital and she sent the bag herself then someone else sent it for her doesn't speak to her advantage. Someone tried to scam me once, and she claimed she went on holiday, then she got sick, then there was something else, yadda yadda

Then when I finally got my money back (after threatening to report her to her local police, seeing as she clearly had no intention of ever sending the bag) she left ME negative feedback saying her KIDS had been sick (gee, I thought you were the one who'd been sick ?

) So anyway, I'd report her to you CC asap, and tell her that unless the situation is resolved immediately you will contact her local police and report her for fraud. I hope it really is just an honest mix up and that you will receive your bag, but too many people have been scammed this way.
