I got the package from Ebay which I did not order
A package arrived today from Ebay with my address. I tried to contact Ebay to locate seller- unsuccessfully. Package came from Massachusetts. So if some seller sent package to the wrong address, you can contact me.

·2 years agoHi @stasejak Give the sealed package to the carrier (USPS, FedEx, UPS) marked for "Return to sender, not at this address."
This is a mentor board with buyers and sellers helping others, so we have no way to tell who sent the package to you.

OP2 years agoI am trying to understand, how Ebay generated my address? And the seller has no idea, it went to wrong person. Some glitch? I even thought, that someone hacked in my account and bought in my name. Did it happen to someone else?

·2 years ago@stasejak If the name of the person is not you, then the person who bought the item made a mistake when they entered their shipping address, and it accidentally matched your address.
If the name of the person is you, and you didn't buy the item, then someone else knows your eBay ID and password. Go immediately to Account Settings > Sign-in and security, and change your password.
Or, is it possible someone you know sent you a gift?

OP2 years agoI did change password. And yes, it is my name and my address on it. I talked to Ebay, they did not see any purchase on my account, I do not have any charges anywhere and nobody sent me a gift (it is bike part). I had similar case with Amazon account, someone used my credit card and bought stuff on Amazon and shipped to me. I talked, to Amazon, there was no purchases showing in my account and as I understood, they mentioned, that it could be inside job. Someone, bought something from my account and erased all the history.

·2 years ago@stasejak That explains it, someone fraudulently used your credit card. If you haven't already, call your credit card company to report the fraud and cancel the card.
It might be the scammer isn't too smart, bought the item with your card but forgot to change the shipping address. Or it might be part of a scam where they sell an expensive item to someone else in your zip code, then use your credit card and address to ship an inexpensive item, and use that tracking number to fake the delivery of the other person's expensive item.

OP2 years agoI got the solution. I called Ebay second time, and this time agent saw, that I bought from this seller. Seller accidently printed double shipping label and sent both packages to me. My package came on time to me. This package for some reason was travelling the whole month, it was stuck in USPS system. So, I messaged to seller that I have his package, he sent me the right buyer's shipping label and I shipped the package to the right buyer.
