Thanks again, Minnie368!
Well, this has gotten pretty strange for sure. Used DD26's ebucks to purchase a $450 target gc for $400. I still haven't heard from the seller nor received my Target gc. Purchased last Tues about 3 a.m. Delivery was listed as Oct 15 - 20. Late Monday evening, Oct 17th, I got a notification that the item was shipped. So I opened my ebay account to check the details on expected delivery. Was shocked to see it was listed as delivered on Sat the 15th! So I checked the mailbox as well as tore the house apart and the car(pick up mail thru the car window), but nothing. So Tues afternoon, after mail delivered again and still nothing, I called the post office. Checked tracking # and item was delivered on Sat at 4:55 pm(which I saw, also). Didn't make any sense and he kept looking at his info, and then I happened to mention my address and he said, nope, I have this other address. It had an address several blocks away, so street name and # was not even close to mine. It had no name on the postal log, just address. It had shipped from Orlando, though the listing had said it would be coming from Jonesville, LA.
The mailman says he remembers delivering a silver foil package to an older gentleman (it was a late delivery so he remembered it), that he'd been delivering to for years. Very strange. And the ebay account of course says it was delivered on Sat, too. But today when I looked at the shipping icon on ebay, it said the item was shipped on Monday, Oct 17th, right next to saying it was delivered on the 15th! I was checking that several times a day. And, though not sure on this point, I thought it said the 13th when I looked on Monday night after getting the notification. But, not sure on that. This whole thing doesn't make any sense and we can't figure out how the tracking number is wrong but being delivered to an address just a few blocks from mine. And to top it off, the seller still hasn't responded to either of my emails to him, which seems very weird if it was just a case of the tracking number being off. So, I'm going to wait for tomorrow's mail delivery, then put in the request to ebay for them to step in, because it's already listed as delivered, though the ship date is after that, and the seller has not responded to my attempts to contact him.
Even spending my ebucks can't be easy anymore, lol. Hate having to worry about this and if ebay will help. The only proof I have, other than what my ebay account shows, is a copy from the post office of the info they had showing the tracking number from my ebay account connected to the item they had for delivery to a different listed address than mine. What a mess, again. Ugh!
). And he actually said that multiple times. He asked how I had paid for the cards, and I looked and saw that I had paid with an eBay gift card. He asked if I still had it, and I told him that I didn't really know which eBay card or cards I had used because I hadn't kept track of which card I used on each transaction and that eBay is weird how they apply balances of some GCs. He then told me the refund had already been made (what?!?) and it was all on one GC, but he didn't have access to the GC number. So, I pulled out the few variable amount physical GCs that I actually had kept. He waited on the phone while I checked the balances and sure enough, one of them had the money on it!!! 
He said that it had actually been refunded on OCTOBER 6 and that he did not know why I had not received any communication about it. But, here's where it gets good. I had spent two of the GCs I purchased; two had been drained. They refunded ALL of the money! I told him that - I wanted to be honest and above-board (and I don't want police knocking at my door!), and he said don't worry about it. PayPal had gone through all of the tickets they had received regarding this issue and did straight refunds - it would have been more trouble for them to look at each transaction/GC to see which cards had been used legit and which weren't. WOO-HOO! I told him they were paying me for my time and aggravation of trying to get this resolved...and he agreed!
I plan on buying park tickets this time around
