Can I ask for a refund on postage costs for a return??

Hi,
I'll try and keep this short and to the point.
I bought a fancy dress outfit from an ebay shop but when I realised I had the 20% off code I asked if I could cancel the order immediately. They said I could and I wouldn't be charged and I was free to make a new order using the 20% off code.
Anyway, three days later two of the same item arrive and yes I have been charged for them both. I asked for a refund which they were more than happy to give but now I will have to send the parcel back recorded delivery.
My question is, seeing as this was their mistake, can I get a full refund including postage plus the amount it will cost me to send it back to them?
Thanks,
MM

They mistakenly sent it, you have your refund. Ask for a postage paid bag to return it in. Make it quite clear that you will not send it back any other way.0
