There's no "postcode loophole", this is just a polished empty return scam.
The trick described in the article just improves upon it slightly by making the seller think that royal mail lost the package. There's no dependence on this trick though, the scam works 100% of the time even if the seller receives an empty box.
- NikkiA 7y agoIt does change slightly, ebay will consider a 'hey my box was empty' if it's coming from a buyer with a decent feedback. But since the royal mail says 'nope, was delivered' it never leaves the automated system that just assigns guilt to the buyer.
- ryanlol 7y agoIt is the seller receiving an empty box, not the buyer. Ebay will always believe a "hey my box was empty", no matter your account history. They'll just ban your account at some point.
