An Ebay seller lost $547 after a buyer purchased a laptop, asked for a refund and returned a different computer than the original sold, police said.

Pennsylvania State Police in Fogelsville said the theft was reported at 1 p.m. this past Wednesday. The buyer told the seller, who lives in the 4800 block of South Hedgerow Drive in Lower Macungie Township, there were “technical issues” with the laptop and mailed it back, police said.

The problem was the laptop returned was not the same laptop the seller sold to the buyer, according to police. The seller previously refunded the buyer before receiving the package, police said.
