Last year, I accidentally canceled a return request after realizing I was being scammed by the seller. eBay refused to refund my money because the request had been canceled, even though the return address provided by the seller was fake. I wrote letters to two state consumer protection agencies and that worked. I eventually got my money back.

how does a seller giving you a fake return address enable a scam? had they sent you something fake that you were trying to return, and they were keeping their "identity" a secret?
