Ebay empowers the seller who has so many names it would be hard to spot.Titanic_Jeweler JerryJewler ect The game of the empty box trick is slanted towards the seller. Get PayPal and don't listen to the run a round from Ebay. San Jose with CS in Third World California

I have allready reported the man that tried to send me a empty envelope and get away with it.  Once I proved it by using a jewlery scale Ebay droped and closed the case when they told me they could not open it until friday.

Never telling me to report to PayPal and that is exactly what I should have done. They had me running all over town trying to get a Police report,ruined my holiday and lied, lied lied.  They don't care about their buyers.

When or if you ever have an empty box arrive that is insured, it is also weighed.  They do not allow people to touch the container again once they are in the middle of insuring a package.  I found by just calling and giving the insurance tracking that my package weighed the same as it arrived empty.  If the gold I had purchased it would have been 2 ounces higher give or take.  

Befoe Ebay said I could even open the real case saying it took three business days, they closed it in one when I called PayPal and someone listed to me, actualy listened.

Never buy on Ebay without a verified Paypal account.  It takes time but their customer service is great along with the best credit card I have ever found Capitol One.   Both will stand behind you and can smell a rat when it is right there.

Ebay diverts you and runs you and their sellers know this.  It will be a long time until I buy again.
