Am I Being Scammed?

I agree with latter.

Doesn’t sound like a scammer, sounds like a bit of overwrought unfounded seller panic. Not worth the effort to keep up with it to save this.

Sounds like you bought something from my grandmother, lol.

Avoid unreliable sellers and only deal with reliable ones or auction houses. He sounds like a fruitcake.

I read all of the comments and am in agreement, especially with this one.

Has any one else ever dealt with this loathsome, Keith Allison, before?

By way of a quick update, the Postal intercept has caused the card to be returned to Kent Allison on Tuesday, and he signed for the receipt of it. However, surprise-surprise, I have yet to be refunded, so I updated my PayPal dispute with the following screen capture:

I would never defend the guy but sometimes eBay systems take a while to work...ie customer sat issues, refunds, etc..

Next step: Postal inspector to file a mail fraud claim, his local police to lodge a wire fraud and theft claim. Perhaps a visit from the local constabulary might jog his memory?

EBay isn't involved as the card was not purchased on eBay.

It smells scammy to me. For all we know, the box was empty or contained some 1991 commons. Perhaps the scam is to make multiple sales and hope one takes. The medical backstory also smells as bad as grandma’s attic

This seems like just an odd character (hard to believe in the baseball card world, right???). It shouldn't work as a scam if you used GS - the tracking shows it was never delivered and that it was sent back to the seller after he paid to intercept it (I would get proof of this from your USPS). That should be about as slam dunk of a Paypal refund as you can get.

Unless there is something weird with that other tracking number and that is actually a package on its way to you that does not have the card. But if that is the case, I am not sure why he would bother with the two packages as you could just send one package without the card in it if that is your game. I would look that one up ASAP and see where that package is. If it is still on its way to you, put on a mail hold immediately so that it cannot be delivered to you. Then when it shows up at USPS, refuse delivery, get advice at the counter, etc.
