Hi
I have just bought some stuff on ebay which I now realise might be stolen. I have searched the net and found some relevant info as something made me suspicious.
What do I do ? I don't really want to lose the money and my guess is if I call the police no then I will lose out? am I right?
on the other hand I guess I need to ?

If you suspect they are stolen you should contact the police otherwise you could get in trouble too. You should be able to recover the costs back from the seller somehow0

Handling Stolen Goods is the offence Im afraid. Did you pay with Paypal? No idea what that claim would come under though!!
Id contact your local police for a bit of advice0 -

Report it to the Police & if they can confirm these are dodgy then file a claim with Paypal immediately stating the crime reference number Etc.0
