Suspect eBay scam

Bought a cheap astronomy item from - what I thought was and what was declared as - China. Total posted was $2.95 Australian, so nothing significant value wise.

Tracking purports the item was posted from Laos.

Didn't know Laos made and sold astronomy items of ANY type.

Hmmm. Tracking shows it as:

Announced data uploaded
Laos

Checking the seller's feedback - LOTS of notes of spurious tracking/postage receipts.

Worth a shot for $3, and yes, I WILL be demanding a Paypal refund if it does turn out to be the scam I suspect.

I didn't do my due diligence for the $3 purchase as I always do for anything over $5, but I might from now on
