This 3rd party will not have any kind of back door into eBay. They have no more power over eBay than you do. It sounds like a complete scam to me.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>There are lots of measures in place to prevent scams like this. Do you have a receipt of postage? Does it have a weight on it? Maybe could compare to what he sends back before opening?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>You just need to get the "item" back first. Never know could be a misunderstanding and he sends the legitimate article back. If it isnt, then you raise that with eBay. That is exactly what this third party would do... you dont need to pay someone.&nbsp;</P> Mon, 30 Jun 2025 20:57:31 GMT theretrodetective 2025-06-30T20:57:31Z
