Hi

Bought an item on eBay, value after accepted best offer £235.

Item marked dispatched with a valid Royal Mail tracking number (UK to UK).

Received this odd message from seller:
Hello, u brought the item from eBay from me, I'm really sorry there was issues at post office, and there has been a big mix up... can u contact me when it's delivered to arrange sorting the issue out. I will come to you if needs be
I've replied
Hi, what is the issue?
No reply yet but it's not been long.

Hopefully it's all fine but it rings my alarm bells. Does this sound like a precursor to any well known scams?

Obvioulsy need to wait and see the seller's reply but good to be prepared!

Is there any way to contact eBay and say "hey this transcation feels iffy, can you keep an eye on it" sort of thing?
