Hello! I bought an item on eBay from a “commercial” seller. They did send the item to my address, but not to me, instead to a public authority - which I am not. I can’t pick up the package, the seller is insisting that I should / supposedly can pick it up. Addressing it to a public authority, the pressure to accept the package - for me that’s (billing) fraud, and I’m not going to get involved in that. I did open a case on eBay. But nothing is happening. The seller was silent for days and only responds now to the worst insults from me. Not nice, but since he otherwise didn’t make a move for a week, I don’t feel bad about it either. Ignoring someone into silence is not a solution. So how does this go on now? How can I make use of the “buyer protection”?
