I purchased an item off ebay this past weekend (sunday). Today I received one of those automated alerts from PayPal that tells you your tracking number. Okay fine, right? So I go to the UPS site to track the number and it lists the destination as somewhere 1.5 hours from here. The next state over if you will. I paid by PayPal and have a confirmed account - so I don't know how she could have messed up my zip code?! I emailed her this afternoon, but so far no word. I sent another email tonight to find out what's going on.
Is this some sort of scam: where she mails the package to a friend so she can show PP a tracking number and that the item was received so she can receive her money - or just an honest mistake. Can I do anything to protect myself?
I'm freaking out a bit. Thoughts?
