    Just an update to this, I've had no reply to my email other than an email mail offering me a free memory card if I change my negative feedback to positive. I'm not prepared to pay to send it back recorded at my cost.... What shall I do and where do I stand? The parcel was addressed to me but was unsolicited goods. Any suggestions?

    I'd still stand by my earlier advice.. If you sell it, be prepared that they may ask you to pay for it at a later date. Keep it, use it, and if they ask for it back, send it back!

    And don't be under the misapprehension that these are unsolicited goods. They are goods sent in error. A completely different kettle of fish in the eyes of the law :)

    Technically they do. Double negative = postive.

    E.g. If someone were to say "I don't not like you" [double negative], would mean they like you [positive].

    Legally they don't.

    Well technically it wouldnt mean they like you. Its not so much that it makes a positive, more that with a double negative, they cancel each other out.

    After all, its quite possible to neither dislike nor like someone.

    And of course thats assuming right = positive. Sometimes doing the right thing is not positive at all.

    If you add together 2 negative numbers, you don't get a positive number :p
