Anybody around here ever use an email address from onewaymail.com?
I purchased a 6600k from someone on ebay and paid immediately via paypal. It didn't come within the advertised delivery dates envelope so I emailed the seller twice and got no response. Four days past the delivery date terminus I opened a case with through ebay. The ebay rep asked me to send another email to the seller as I was on the phone, which I did. I asked for a refund. By the end of the day I got a reply via ebay email from the seller saying the item had been delivered, along with a tracking number. Still four days late, mind you.
I called the post office and they were able to ascertain that the package had been delivered to another address but it was delivered correctly to the address on the shipping label. They told me what the address was and the street name was correct but the street number was not even close. The recipient (an assisted living facility near me) refused the package and that is how USPS was able to sort this out. Supposedly they will get it to me late today.
With regard to the case, ebay decided in favor of the seller because tracking info indicated the package had been delivered. When I tried to leave feedback on the seller it was deleted by ebay because the case had been closed (a matter of policy they said). It was factual with no profanity. I simply said the item was not delivered in a timely manner and that the seller was unwilling to communicate). Needless to say, I 'm frustrated with the whole process.
I looked at the PayPal transaction and got the seller's email address. The domain was "onewaymail.com." Apparently this service allows you to receive email but not send it. I'm trying to bend my mind around this. Why would someone use a service like this? Does it lend itself to nefarious activity?
