I had something similar happen near the beginning of the pandemic. I
ordered what was supposed to be a 3M respirator--for chemical
application, not for the virus--from an outfit that appeared to be
in mainland China (a lot of these showed up on eBay about then, all
trying to undercut each other by a couple cents). Anyway, the
respirator never came, and from the start the seller had implored me
to 'contact him, not eBay.' Every time I did, they gave a different
tracking number, which appeared to originate at various places in N.
America (I don't know if the numbers were hacked from the USPS, or
were just random). A couple cycles of this and I contacted eBay to
report a fraud; they refunded my money within a few days. Maybe your
seller had 'connections?'<br>

<div>The bizarre thing is I believe the whole thing began with a
mainland seller (who I purchased a small thing from) and they
never delivered. When they never delivered, I gave them a bad
eBay rating. That dishonest seller then asked that if I
change my rating to good, they would refund my money. That
request made me angry, so I reported the conversation to eBay
that a seller was holding my refund ransom to change their
rating to good. Well, why would I change the rating to good
to get my money back? So in effect I would give them a good
rating for not delivering what they promised. Crazy.</div>

<div>Oh well, this is the internets. Easy enough to just make a

I believe you live in Hong Kong; could the recent actions
by the CCP <br>
have instigated this?<br>
