Ebay scam

A couple years ago I bought a set of spiked feet for a long out of production tripod for less than $50.
The eBay seller sends me a FedEx tracking number that I check: shipment originated in Butte Montana and when I click on the shipment details, the package weighs 126 pounds. Destination is Springfield Virginia which is where I live.
Sure enough, four days later it shows delivered and signed for by Ken, whoever that is.
After contacting the seller I call PayPal. They check the tracking number, call FedEx and find out the address it was delivered to. It wasn’t mine.
They immediately refund my payment. I ding the seller with negative feedback and the seller continues to message me for days begging me to change the feedback in fractured English.
