Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-feels-like-a-scam-third-party-seller-admits-to-stealing-1-3-million-from-amazon-in-elaborate-fake-sale-and-refund-fraud-11647968698

perhaps this is similar to how this kayak scam is working?

• the seller offers items cheaper than usual generating multiple sales
  
• seller sends random parcels to incorrect addresses to generate tracking numbers
  
• shipping takes long enough for Amazon to pay seller before refund requests come in
  
• seller closes account and disappears with the money leaving Amazon to pick up the refund expenses
  
  

the tracking for my order shows it is due to be delivered today from the local sorting office in Glasgow (I live nr Leicester)

oh well! it was still worth a punt!
