Not true on the shipping tracking# comment above.
A seller can generate a shipping label online. This provides an instant tracking # and will show "pending pickup or acceptance". The seller simply never prints the label or ships the item, and at some later date, files for a shipping refund with USPS (or other carrier) carrier will then refund the lable cost, if the tracking shows no activity/movement.
*Ive said it before in the rim blow thread, everyone that was scammed by this clown, and there are several on this ONE forum alone, needs to file a report with his local PD and the state attorney generals office...only thru a volume complaints, will anything be done about it at the law enforcement level.
