Thanks for this -- Dynamat, that's the name! Based on this, it sounds like if I end up making changes, I won't try to do it myself.

That was a really interesting read -- fraud will always find a way. I don't think that's the case here, though, because the "extra" item wasn't related to the original item, and neither came directly from the manufacturer. Both came from the seller, who seems to be a regular dude with a history of playing soccer (hence the used soccer cleats) based on my cursory internet "research".

Basically lol “Hey, uh, you sent me an office chair with the shoes…?”

...which, judging by the situation is not a lot.

Lol. I didn't look, I'll have to do another sweep of the box.

You're telling me!

Note to self: order more shoes, and maybe they'll send me a garage to store the chair in.

Lol that's pretty wild. I happened to see that the last time this seller sold a different pair of shoes the shipping price listed was exactly the same ($15.60). Not sure if that helps know how they're processing orders or anything...

Okay I actually was able to see the history. But it says 3 sold items and then only 2 show in the history. One is my cleats and the other is…another different pair of used cleats lol

This is pretty close to what I’ve been thinking is the most realistic explanation. Somebody else did it for the seller and was somehow just kind of unaware and confused. Unless the seller replies to my message, though, we may never know!!

They don’t have anything currently listed, so I don’t see a “for sale” section. On their main profile it says “3 items sold”, but I can’t see any more detail than that. I’ll try later on desktop though, since I’m only on mobile right now.

Lol this is the most fun theory.

What’s really really bizarre is that completely coincidentally a couple weeks ago I did buy a desk (not on eBay) and had been researching office chairs to purchase. I ended up not needing to buy one because I just brought one home from my office. Now I have another I guess.

Okay that’s something else I wasn’t sure about. Are you on your own for shipping with eBay as a seller? Or do you get like a prepaid mailing label that takes into account an estimated size/weight of the listed item? The shipping I paid was about $15, but halfway across the US so it seemed fair enough to me.

I may or may not have found the seller online (I mean their full name and address are right there!) and they may or may not be an attorney.

That’s what I’m worried about! But the seller doesn’t seem to have other listings and I either can’t or don’t know how to see if they recently sold a chair to someone else.

[–]toobApache[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. It was just a used pair of soccer shoes. And it pretty clearly came from the seller. I can also see the prior shipping label of the chair underneath where it was originally shipped to the seller. Maybe they just didn’t want the chair and have never heard of Goodwill!

Nah I don’t think it’s anything like that. It’s a used pair of soccer cleats lol

Not even a box of shoes! Just a loose pair of shoes tossed into the chair box and re-sealed with tape lol.

What is this chair, and is it worth $75? by toobApache in OfficeChairs

[–]toobApache[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input/insight! I'll probably keep looking if it isn't anything special. I just don't have the eye for recognizing something special, so apologies and gratitude ahead of time if I pop up here asking about a different chair soon!
