·2 years agoMost likely you pre-authorized automatic payment when you made a Best Offer (eBay experimented with that also for bids a few months ago but I think that was terminated a few weeks ago--was it a "bid" or was it an "offer"?). Check your My eBay: Purchase History to see the payment status and if paid get the payment details (payment timestamp would have been up to a couple of minutes after the seller accepted the offer, or you won the auction if it was actually a bid).
The other possibility is that it was a newbie seller who prematurely shipped* instead of waiting for payment. Be sure to pay within 4 days.
*or just created a label which s/he can cancel if you don't pay.

·2 years ago@wil424017 Contact the seller, it may not be too late to cancel. If a seller ships out, that means you or someone who has access to your account did pay for the item.

Just in case someone else has access to your account, reset your password right away:
