Been sent item I didn't pay for!

Bit of a strange one this. I've just received through the post a black maternity dress and scarf. I've ordered a lot of maternity bits recently, but this isn't one of them. I'm not expecting any outstanding items and I've checked My Ebay and the item isn't there under my won autions list. There also hasn't been any suspicious activity on my paypal account.

Now interestingly I do vaguely recognise the dress and as when I'm bidding on an item I tend to look at the sellers other items I wonder if that is what has happened. Perhaps its from a seller I've already brought an item from and they've accidently reused my address label when they should have been sending this to someone else???

Is there anyway I can search on finished auctions by seller?

I'd like to send the dress back as 1) I didn't pay for it and 2) I don't really like it anyway :o so I'd like to try and track the real owner down.

Anyone got any suggestions on what I can do?

    OMG I'm sure this is a total coincidence, but I received an email from a buyer today to say that the black maternity dress I sent to them hasn't arrived. It isn't a black jersey one from Next is it??!:rotfl:
  • How funny! But no its not from Next so I'm sure its not yours. Makes me wonder if this problem might explain some of the 'lost in post' items!

    Hope your dress does turn up.

    Best wishes

    Thanks. Last time this happened it took months to get the money back from Royal Mail - I shan't hold my breath!!:rotfl:
