So, how much were they able to steal from Ebay? Enough for a nice vacation?
No way of knowing what the real story is, but if the seller mixed up the 2 outgoing shipping labels then he's basically given away the Bvlgari watch in exchange for the price of a pair of used shoes.
I'm out nothing (other than the lost opportunity on the watch purchase), eBay or the seller is out the cost of return shipping, seller is out the watch, & shoe-guy is walking around barefoot with a Bvlgari on his wrist.
Have a similar story. I bought a relatively inexpensive Technos watch on eBay from a seller in Thailand. Seller enters the tracking number to eBay and after a week or so, the package shows up as having been delivered to a place about 1,000 miles away.
I contacted the seller and he provided me a copy of his postal receipt. Of course, it was all in Thai, except for a the name of a woman with a rather unusual last name.
Next, contacted eBay to start the refund process. I kind of wanted the watch, so knowing the city, state and name of the person to whom the watch was delivered, I was able to find her business email. I wrote her a email and she said she was waiting for a $2 item. I then provided her with the listing info, the receipt and tracking number, she was more than happy to forward the watch to me. She refused my offer of postage reimbursement, even when I told her that either eBay or the seller would cover it.
I reversed the reversal of eBay charges and everyone was happy. Moral of the story, try to find out from the seller who actually got the watch and try to work out the logistics.

My own dealings with an eBay 'Idiot' ended predictably.
I really wanted the part. Seller has two more listed.
I left negative feedback. In looking at other feedback it seems eBay refunded others for non shipment. Others say seller never responds to DM messages. Always read the feedback, even when positive.
I ordered other things from this goof off. Filed claims on them as well.
They list a physical store in Hollywood FL. Wonder if it is really there?
I was prepared to spend some real $$$ as there are interesting things offered.
The shoe buyer should be happier than a dog with 2 dicks!
I nearly spit my drink across the room!
Sorry for all your trouble @WestCoastTime ! I went through something similar around Christmas. I ended up sending the obvious thing I didn鈥檛 buy back to the seller and I got a refund. eBay was definitely involved in the transaction to get it right鈥nd I never received the watch I wanted.
