eBay may keep it, destroy it, or do whatever with it, who knows? The key point is that neither seller nor buyer receive it.

Even with reimbursement, it is still theft. It's like if I buy a bike from you, and the delivery truck driver decides to keep the bike for themselves and instead gives me cash and drives off, with me having no say in this.

One time a USPS delivery person stole my package. I know this because the tracking information a USPS clerk looked up for me showed the delivery person marking the package as delivered while being nowhere near the delivery address. In fact,
