Fraudulent?

Are you sure this is from an eBay seller?

 

If you have purchased some recent items from eBay,  checkout those sellers,  they may just have posted to the wrong buyer.

 

Click on the seller's listings,  then down the left sidebar click on Sold.  If you find the item there, send that seller a message  that you have received their item in error,  for them to send you enough money to cover a fully tracked return postage to return the item back to them.

 

Do not be fobbed off with sending to the correct buyer, it goes back to the seller.

 

Is there a return address on the back?  A Royal Mail delivery?  Hand back to postie stating unknown.

 

If this is not the case, and no one else in your household knows of this purchase,  google Brushing Scam see if that applies here.

Are they returned items from Ebay buyers?

It is not unknown for (usually) overseas business sellers to have residential UK addresses down as their business address, even registering the address with Companies House.

If that is what is happening here (your post is a bit lacking in detail) there are ways to report this to Action Fraud and Companies House.

Even if it is an Ebay seller, Ebay are unlikely to act and you will have to be pro-active.
