How can I report a brushing scam

I recently received some goods which I didn't order, from a company I've never heard of. I am certain that this is a brushing scam, but none of the contact methods on ebay's contact pages appear to be designed to deal with reports that aren't associated with a specific order (as part of the brushing scam the order would have been made by a fake account using my postal address).

 
A quick google of the company also reveals a recent conviction for selling counterfeit goods.

Could be an overseas seller getting a return from a buyer.

If they are based elsewhere but say in the Uk then that is where the item should go back too

 

Just put them to one side and wait and see if anyone contacts you for them back

If they do then you only return if they pay the return postage

it is most likely an overseas seller getting a return item

If they say they are in the Uk and are not then they have to pay postage back to their own country

Some dishonest sellers just us anyones address.

It happens a lot so dont worry

if they were not addressed to you then just wait and seel

if they were address in name to someone else you could hand them back to Royal Mail or the courier saying

Not at this address

See the link to ebay contact for call back or chat

I doubt they will do anything and even if they do they do not tell you what.
