Anyone else experiencing this today? Being Asked To Rate Right After Item Is Shipped!

Had that happen two weeks ago. Seller messaged me after the package shipped asking me to rate so he could "get paid". Suspicion #1. When the packaage arrived the following week, it had a jumble of mailing labels and my address was in a folded over part that was really hard to locate. Suspicion #2. Bust out the camera before opening. It ended up being a loose car part to a Buick instead of the Coleco handheld Frogger that had been ordered...

I'm feeling like the whole thing was an attempted and failed scam. I contacted Mercari with the photos. They had me ship it back. As soon as I confirmed I shipped it, the seller posted the SAME photos listing it again.

Seller confirmed receipt 2 days after it showed delivered. Finally got my money back.
