Very peculiar, and as everyone expected, fraudulent. Somehow the seller had a history of the item being shipped and then delivered even though I hadn't received it. I read the report of delivery on my ebay sales history, put in a claim to PayPal and they reversed the funds immediately. So no gain, no loss. Guess the seller thought a "rich" American wouldn't bother with a $50 item. I won't get that bored again and won't buy from ebay except from previously used sellers.
