story · vendor-reliability signal
FedEx tracking 382040816003 showed the parcel delivered 19 Jun 2026, but it never arrived at 2996 Sugan Rd Unit 11. The shipper (eBay seller guangzhougaiyansha-2, shipped from Tempe AZ via eBay as Shipper of Record) signed the FedEx shipper waiver confirming Dan as the owner of the contents and authorizing FedEx to settle directly with the recipient. eBay opened case 5381744925 on 20 Jun and decided it the same day: "we didn't receive valid proof of delivery from the seller" — so the platform sided with the buyer and issued a full $401.74 refund ($379.00 + $22.74 tax) to PayPal on 20 Jun 2026, landing in 3–5 business days. Case opened and closed inside one day with no buyer effort beyond filing — that's eBay buyer-protection working as designed. The loss was the carrier's; the seller failed to produce proof of delivery, which is why the refund fell to the buyer's favour rather than the seller's.

story · vendor-reliability signal
Stand-in for the 2021-08-22 storm-claim pool cleaner ($462, written off in claim 046414618 line 14). Renewed marketplace was the cheap-and-fast attempt at replacement before committing to a full-price unit; what arrived didn't match the listing's grading. RMA + paid FedEx Ground label landed within the 48hr SLA — that moves Aiper Direct Renewed up the vendor-reliability ledger, not down. Authorization slip + label filed at media.gf.cx for the record. Post-claim replacement decisions get easier when this ledger has rows in it. Amazon issued the full $551.19 refund on 12 Jun 2026 — the loop closed inside the SLA with no clawback, so Aiper Direct Renewed finishes this transaction net-positive on the vendor-reliability ledger.
