I know that feedback can't make reference to a dispute or investigation.Are they allowed to leave feedback such as "reported seller to cops"
Your buyer is the scammer.OP, you have been the victim of a crime. Either someone in the postal system stole the hat or the buyer is making a false claim. (Personally I would be betting on the latter.) I don't know how the system works in the US but could you not file a police report of your own?
UPDATE: I was able to get my money back.
After talking to 4 ebay representatives who didn't help and after reporting him 4 times to ebay which didn't do anything. I found a rep who told me they only allow ONE empty box, so if he did it multiple times, they wouldn't buy his story. Had it appealed for the second time and got my money back.
I'd really recommend doing some detective work. Truth is ebay knew he's done this, but they didn't know I knew, so they made it look innocent. When I saw he left neutral feedback for a seller for a $2,200 jacket stating "i wish i could of gotten this item".... I contacted that seller and told them my story and asked them for theirs and they fell for the same scam. And once I contacted ebay with that other item number, they than told me they would refund the money back to me.
OH and a shout out to this Mike G. who's a complete as*hole on the phone and has his pics all over eBay pics but doesn't even their rules.
Just finished reading the whole thread. I'm glad to read you could get your money back. I can't believe the buyer is still active on eBay and has sold a quite a few LV. I can't tell whether they are authentic or not but when a seller has multiple of same brand new LVs, I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.
Glad this worked out for the OP.
Dealing with ebay seems to be an uphill battle on most days.
On a side note - Props to JustAgUrL for not replying to an overly aggressive post that I thought was quite harsh.
