yup--not the ebay site, but amazon, no less-- i got a reference book in the mail that cost well over $200 when i looked it up. it was on history, and would have been a great find--but i knew how i would have felt if i'd lost it. and, it would have been on my heart and conscience forever! i e-mailed their customer service area, and sent it back to them when i had the return number. and i got two separate thank-yous from them along the way, and a note from the guy who'd ordered it. nice response!!

I've sold on eBay (though bought a LOT more, lol) and know that mistakes happen. I can't say I've ever had one dishonest seller in all these years and if they have good feedback I'd go ahead and forward the package, though I'd probably wait on my feedback until he reimbursed me. If it was me who messed up I'd appreaciate the gesture.

My DH received an item he didn't order and contacted the seller. The guy said he would e-mail a shipping label to have it returned, but never did. We've contacted him a couple o times but he never follows thru. So we ended up just keeping it

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?

No, I haven't had but two orders on e-bay, but THANK you for being so honest. Your honesty will help all other shoppers and sellers in the future.
