Order another, and be more careful next time?

For delivering a package to the address on the package? I think not."There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry. We shall never see their like again". O S Nock0 -

I'm not sure what you can do, especially as you do not actually know who took the item.
The seller did the right thing.
Royal mail did the right thing.
You could always ask at your old address in the hope that they admit they have your item and give it back? That's about it.0 -
If you say you had changed your address with Ebay then why did it not get changed?0

The seller should have sent it to the address you have with Paypal, regardless of the address you have on file with eBay.
Check your address on Paypal and if it's the right one, it'll be the seller at fault.Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty...0
