I bought a jacket on ebay.fr for 600 euros. Before bidding, the seller agreed that I could pick it up.
When I paid, the delivery address was my parents' home in the US, because that's my paypal address, but it was irrelevant, because I was picking it up in Paris anyway.
I never heard back (phone or email) from the seller since I paid 2 weeks ago, and was about to file an INR claim when I got an email from my sister saying that an express mail box came with a plastic dry-cleaning bag inside. She signed for it without opening. She hasn't sent me pictures yet.
I guess I have 2 options:
1. file SNAD immediately, but how do I prove that what's in the bag was what she sent? I haven't gotten a picture of the box, I'm guessing the weight should be proof, but what if somehow, the weight marked on the box is the same as a jacket? or what if there's no weight marked?
2. I tell the seller that I have a video of the package being opened with a plastic bag inside, and that I would go to the police immediately unless she gives me the jacket. basically giving her another chance.
Am I being too optimistic or naive with option #2?
