We agreed that I would re-ship the item and the seller would pay me back. What a pain.
Any other weird ebay buys out there?
Years ago something similar happened to me. I shipped out a huge brass eagle that you hang over a garage door to the wrong person and I sent their package to the person who was to receive the other item. Well I contactd both and they were kind enough to ship the packages to each other and I offered to pay the postage. Worked out fine. Never did that again.
