Default i think i got screwed on ebay

i won an auction for a center console armrest and paid right after the auction ended. the seller gave me a fedex tracking number the same day. i kept track of it for a week, the estimated delivery date was 10/17 and the destination was my city. So on the 17th i checked it again because nothing came. i looked up the tracking number on fedex's website and suddenly the delivery date says 10/24 and the destination is Norfolk, VA!! i emailed the guy and his email response seems like BS. that f*cker

i called fedex customer serv. the guy said that a mistake might have been made. the package is probably still in a local sort facility. he said he would inform them that the package is being shipped to the wrong destination. What i think happened was that the seller of the item changed the shipping address to norfolk where his buddy lives, so that he can keep the armrest and my money and blame it on fedex.........and not get negative feedback. this guy has about 35 feedback. mostly positive, but the 3 negative ones are pretty bad. that f*cker

does fedex even let you do that?
change destinations after they give you a tracking number and everything?

im not sure, but lets say you send out a package with the wrong address on it, and you call fedex to tell them the right one. are they gonna argue with you?

What kind of an armrest was it? There was a couple of times that a JDM armrest was on ebay and I figured it's the same one being sold over and over...
