Re: Attempted scam on eBay
I would definitely choose to intercept the packages if at all possible. Because regardless of anything, if you broke ANY of eBay's shipping guidelines, regardless of whether it was at the customer's request, they could simply refuse to cover you under seller protection. The email you have is probably not set in stone. The next one could say "Unfortunately, upon further review, we have determined that you are NOT covered under the seller protection program."
Now, if you are sure you followed all of the rules and got signature confirmation (I don't know what the value is on the cameras, so I don't know if you need it or not) then you should be covered. But I wouldn't pin everything on that letter you got from eBay.
If you can get your merchandise back, do so and let eBay know. You can always re-sell the cameras. It is not worth a lost account. That is the only way that I can see you would be 100% made whole (well, minus the shipping fees).
