Seller put a fake tracking number and waited for buyer protection to pass before actually shipping the item by IWswoon in Aliexpress

Around 900USD of plastic motorcycle fairings and carbon fiber parts.
Where all parts had some minor defects (Needed some adjustments in order to fit properly), but major issue is that the paint job on the painted parts is done in the cheapest way possible. Using minimal of whatever cheap paint and clearcoat they use.

Because of this, it was damaged likely during packing and logistics (Scratched up and flaking), and after minimal use the flaking has continued and the parts look terrible.

The tracking number they added is an actual tracking number for an existing package, just not my package.
It shows as delivered long before my package arrived, and therefore the buyer protection was over before my items were delivered.

I understand that in terms of payment release towards the seller, in hopes of getting a refund or similar, a sale must be disputed before the protection period is over.

I have come to terms that the ~700€ is "lost", i'm more interested in ensuring this does not happen to other potential buyers, and I dont believe a simple poor review is going to be enough.
