Unexpected delivery

[speed_king100]

I have received an item which I didn't order, addressed to me from an eBay marketplace seller. The only clue to the identity of the sender is a UK address on the postage label. How can I find out who sent it?

Why  bother it is up to seller to contact you, and supply a return label if he wants it back.

However if addressed to you by name there must be some connection between you and seller, otherwise how could he get your name.

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.

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.

It could have been sent to you as a gift. All a buyer has to do is change the delivery name and address at checkout to have something sent straight to someone they know. So it could have been bought for you by anyone who knows your name and address.

I realise that the seller must have my name & address fro a previous order, but the item is not like anything I can recall buying on eBay before.

I doubt if it's a gift - it's not like anything I've bought before, on eBay or anywhere else. There are currently over 50 live listings for this product, but the last sold listing for it was four weeks ago. And the sold prices range from around £35 to £75, so not cheap.
