INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If the auction or sale proceeded to the point that the U.S. postal service was involved, the perpetrator could be guilty of mail fraud. For example, a dishonest seller may have pocketed your money and not sent the item you purchased, or used fake user accounts to bid on their own merchandise and drive up the price. If you mailed a payment and received no product in return, or if you received something in the mail that didn't match the description on the listing, the activity may constitute mail fraud. Understanding the elements of mail fraud enables you to choose important and relevant information to include in your report. You should focus in particular on the involvement of the U.S. Postal Service. If the postal service was not involved in the transaction, mail fraud probably did not occur. However, if you paid for shipping and did not receive the product, the postal service is involved even if indirectly.
