Nash,

No worries. It wasn't a goose chase really. So no problem at all.

Primarily what happens is the buyer reports the offending seller to eBay. I do not recall exactly how many reports or incidents will trigger a warning and then suspension. But you can have your account suspended for x days or permanently depending on how the seller has handled the transaction.

What happens in many drop shipper incidents is the seller does not know for weeks the drop shipper has not shipped the item to the buyer. So let's say it is suppose to take 14 days for your drop shipper to ship an item out. And the buyer choose slow mail, Parcel, it could in reality be almost 30 days before you or the buyer are aware there is a problem with the order.

And then the buyer reports you to Paypal and eBay for "Item not received". You don't have an delivery confirmation number, can't find out when or where the product was shipped. The dispute is closed in favor of the buyer and you get the strike on your account.
