I had a strange thing happen a while ago on
ebay that might explain the package. Something similar to this has happened twice, same day, both went about the same:
About a year ago I sold a package to someone in SC (the other was in NY). They contacted me and said they didn't order it. After a few messages, they remembered me from a purchase a few years back but had not ordered this package. I checked
ebay and the recent sale was there in "Shipped and awaiting your feedback" but after looking at it the transaction number was a low# not inline with other sales and my copy of the invoice showed the paid date from years back.
I checked my postage meter logs and sure enough a little over 3 years prior I had a package go to that address. I contacted
ebay who acknowledged what I was seeing but could not explain it. They "fixed" it and refunded their fees and eventually paid the return postage on the item.
Being in IT, I still wonder how this would have happened. Had to be a back-up glitch or DB error of some sort but guess I'll never really know. Chalk it up to 'FM'.
