I have just receiced an item i ordered but also in the package was a pair of sunglasses i did not order, also on the address label was printed 'ALIEXPRESS UK' i did not order from them i ordered from Ebay...I have heard of a scam called 'Brushing' but all that i have read about this is that you receive a package that you have never ordered but in my case i did order this item it just came with something i did not order....should i be worried..Thank you.

Why worry if someone wants it back then they will have to pay return postage.

It does sound as though your seller is “drop shipping” which is only allowed in certain circumstances.

“Drop shipping” seller takes your order and then buys it and it is sent to you direct from the second seller. In other words the seller on ebay is selling things he does not have, which is not allowed,

The sunglasses may have been a free gift. Some sellers do this sort of thing sometimes.

I am not so worried about the 'dropshipping', and i might be a bit paranoid here its the 'Brushing' (fake reviews in my name) but as i mentioned i have read that 'brushing' usually happens when you get a package when you have not ordered anything....anyway maybe i am overreacting, thanks for your reply
