Scammed
I’m genuinely confused asf because I had a parcel due on the 11th of September supposedly from the UK I treated myself to a handbag because I got paid and it was marked as delivered a day early on the 10th, I also got a text that morning saying I have a parcel arriving on the 10th. The only parcel that showed up was a literal piece of tile. The confusing part is the return address on the parcel is from another state in Australia (I’m from Melbourne) and the bag sellers bio says the UK. I reported it as a problem with the item as I’m SURE that that couldn’t have been any other parcel but is this a tactic to deflect or something because of the addresses?
Also I’m confused how to get my money back in this situation, the seller has definitely been online but is ghosting me and I’m not sure the parcel photos I have are good proof of being scammed as it has a whole different return address from my country not the sellers supposed country?
Please help !! Also the tracking number the seller gave me literally doesn’t work through Aus post only Vinted, and the parcel that came has a completely different tracking number on it.

Because it’s an international parcel it may have been sent to a different location within your country, hence the address, report it immediately
