It really depends. If you can persuade the buyers to 'accept' the parcels and then take them straight back to the PO (or into a post box if they fit) marked clearly 'return to sender', then it might work and potentially you could get the stuff back in a few days or so.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

They 'should' but you might have to wait for custardy to confirm that. I also have a slight concern that they might take a while to come back.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

If the packages were sent recorded, ask the sellers to refuse them.
If the packaged were not sent recorded, ask the seller to write "not known at this address - return to sender" on it and post it back.
You'll get your items back but I don't know how long it'll take.0 -
Personally I would bite the bullet and pay both sellers to resend the items to the correct addressee - with their express permission first.
Whatever you do, be communicative with both parties.0 -
Thank you for the advice much appreciated0

To be on the safe side, I would take TOWIU's advice. Otherwise you risk things going wrong and potentially two negs.
