eBay Scam?

[Stefano]

So I buy a new set of Snap-On Wrenches for a major discount from retail. I paypal the accepted offer. Seller tells me he can't fulfill and offers a substitute product. I say no way, refund my money. He does and I get pay pal credit through eBay. Then says I will send substitute product to you anyway at no charge. Retail value $200.00. I get tracking number and product shows up to my address with an unknown persons name on it?

What am I missing?

Dear friend ! I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. I have contacted the courier, and unfortunately there was a problem during the shipping process, the delivery car got into an accident, and most of the packages were damaged.
And it happens to be the last one I have. As i want to give my dear customer the best service, We could not send the broken ones to our customers so I decided to sent the 120XP Universal Spline XL Flex Head Ratcheting Combination SAE Wrench Set (11-Piece) to you. It is a higher grade and quality wrench set. This product are our best seller
these days which many customers are interested in. Its free and I wont charge any extra fee for that. Would that be alright with you ?
