I am soooooo edgy right now. So I've been waiting for more than 2 weeks on this bag. It's come from the States to Singapore so I didn't think too much about the waiting at first. The ebay seller was late in sending the bag out because of snowstorms so I said that it was alright. Then she haphazardly gave me an invalid tracking number then went on holiday for a week. The "bag" finally arrived in Singapore on the 9th. There was an attempted delivery on the 11th but I checked and checked and there was no delivery note to say, "We were here but you weren't. Please reschedule a delivery." Or something like that. So I finally called up SingPost and found out that the address was incomplete. I'm 100% sure that I gave the sender the right address. So I ran down to the main post office in Singapore to pick it up. And I waited and waited and it finally came! I was so excited but when I looked at the box, I was thinking, "Gee, that's a little small for a work, isn't it?" But maybe she folded it into half or rolled it into a ball or something. I tear off the tab only to find that it is a pair of vans. I just look at it in disbelief. I couldn't move for like 5 minutes. I was like WTF? 
And then I looked at the label. It's a wonder it got to me at all. Wrong name, incomplete address... The seller combined my name and my mom's name (whose CC was used to complete the transaction). I'm really really upset now. And to make things even more suspect, the shoes should have been sent somewhere within the states, yes? So then the bag would have been sent to someone else in the states and so it should have gotten there much much faster than the shoes, since I checked her feedback and stuff that she sold later than the SGH work had already gone to their buyers. Or even if the bag was sent to another country, my wrong address fiasco delayed delivery by four days so the bag should still have arrived earlier. So why was there no email from the seller telling me that there was a mix-up?
I am soooo upset right now.
I hope that this is just a simple mix-up but the more I thinka about it, the more irritated I am. Plus I'm returning to the States in two days and packing is already enough of a b*tch. My mom is also on my case about it since she paid for the bag as a 21st birthday present and she's very nervous about paying nearly S$2000 for nothing. Plus she is computer-illiterate and has never heard of opening a dispute.
For those who have had the (unfortunate) experience of opening an ebay dispute before, how do you go about doing this? If I contact the CC company, will they return the funds to me? I'm still waiting on the seller to contact me but I'm so worried. Was it a deliberate switch? Or if it was a mistake, how could such a mistake have been made with a bag costing more than a thousand dollars? And if it's with someone else now, could the someone else have tried to use the bag and somehow damaged it?
I am sick with worry now. AHHHH... I just need a place to rant right now and get some advice on what to do next. What should I do? 
So not rational right now...
