If the listing is current and indexed, you can search by item number by entering the number directly into the search bar. Just paste your own item number of those digits at the end of the page address.

These scams have been around since eBay was launched in 1995, and they will continue to be a consideration in the future. eBay is only an intermediary and is not responsible for buyers actually receiving the items. That's why buyers and sellers on the platform must take every precaution before finalizing the purchase.

You can search for Sellers via the Advanced link to the right of the eBay Search window. Scroll down to the Seller section and enter the ID and complete the Search at the top or bottom of the page.

You'll find your 12-digit order number in your order details, purchase history, or confirmation email.
