Received item twice - what to do?

the-mango

Well basically the title says it all. I bought some stamps off ebay but I have received them twice both arriving today I have checked and I definitely only bought 5 but I have received 10 (2 envelopes containing 5 each). Should I tell the seller or just leave it and leave glowing feedback?

Personally I would tell the seller.

What goes around comes around & all that, I'd agree with cyberbob & tell the seller, they may even let you keep them for being so honest

Yup, I always mention it if I get duplicates

something happened to me - years ago - with cds. i won 2 and the seller sent me the 3rd by mistake.

he sent me a email full of threats telling me that if i kept it it would be effectively stealing and that he'd got in touch with his solicitors etc etc i admit i was scared (i was barely 18) and posted it back and that was that.

if i were you id contact the seller, they'll realize somethings up soon anyway. if you want them, pay for them, if not ask the seller to pp you some money to cover posting them back.

If you're concerned about it (which obviously you are or you wouldn't be here) then tell the seller. If he/she is a business seller, and wants the surplus item back, then the law requires that he/she arranges it's collection, and you have no responsibility other than to keep it reasonably safe in the meantime. Although, I guess, you'd probably be happy to mail it back if he/she paid the postage.

It's a new seller with only 2 feedback. I sent them a message last night and am awaiting their reply.
