If the seller is based in china or the product is not fulfilled by Amazon let the buyer beware he may have to wait/fight for his money back, and the likelihood of it shipping is slim to none.

With which carrier tracking #?
I am Realy confused.

I will cite a few updates from the order.

"Shipped - 1 box via DHL"
 
"Arriving:
Thursday, February 2 -
Thursday, February 9"

Gives me this tracking number:

 lt567810851cn (USPS)

Apparently some random package, not even to my current state, and tracking shows delivered December 24. I don't mind waiting 2 weeks, they could hold onto my pennies.
Make stuff happen.

Most likely you will never be seeing this package.

I still don't get what he wants. So he stole $10, a penny at a time. Whoop de do. Does the seller have access to payment info? What is he planning on doing with email and shipping address?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

+1000

I did some Googling and it looks like the seller does not have access to payment info.

In reply to you're quotes below, if Amazon has a fake seller on their website, I can't see them not compensating an inconvenienced customer. Even if it's just a $5 credit.

They certainly don't always compensate.

I bought using amazon GC with 50 cents balance, even he will have access to payment info, I'm not afraid about the 50 cents on the GC, the only issue is, I got shipping email with a DHL tracking and DHL says tracking number is invalid, lets see what happens, I think amazon customer service will have to hire more employees to cover all customer complaints.

I went to my order page and clicked contact seller and asked him about the wrong tracking number he provided, I just got the following email from amazon:
