Okay, I must admit that I LOL'd too. My 1st thougth was "Oh, don't worry, you will win, it's open-and-shut case of SNAD." :-D But I can understand your disappointment at not receiving a sewing machine.
This might be one of the rare cases where PayPal will pay the return shipping. At any rate, you will certainly get a refund for SNAD, Significantly Not As Described. I hope your unfortunate sewing machine is okay and that this will work out well.
Look on the bright side: If seller packed the typewriter that well, they probably did okay on the machine, too.
This happened to me once, two items got flip-flopped. The way the seller and the other buyer and PayPal and I worked it out was the seller sent me money to ship the wrong item on to the correct buyer, and that other buyer to ship the correct item to me, and we all exchanged tracking numbers. Everyone was honest, and after the musical chairs game, the money and the goods all wound up in the right hands.
