I had the same thing happen to me, except I was the seller. I accidentally shipped a Tengen Tetris poster to the wrong guy, and instead he received a Mega Man 3 cart -- needless to say, he wasn't happy (I wouldn't be either!).

Both buyers were kind enough to ship the items back to ME (not each other), and I then re-shipped them to the correct persons. It's a cost of doing business (making mistakes), and they do happen from time-to-time. However, you should not send the games to the other buyer -- if you do, it's a liability on your shoulders, when it should be on the seller's shoulders. Just politely tell the seller that you'd rather ship the games back to him, and he should be accepting of that -- if not, then keep the games and consider it a nice snag

The seller did finally contact me and gave me the other buyers address and said that he would reimburse me for shipping once he got his games. I haven't sent the games out yet I was waiting until I got mine first .

Something simular happend to me just 2 days ago actually. Some weeks ago i bought a GBA game on Ebay, recived it, e-mailed the seller that i got it, left positive feedback and all was ok. On Saturday i recive the same game again, from the same seller! lol.

I e-mailed him about it asking why, but he havnt replied yet. I have a feeling that he read the mail, since i did a "best offer" on one of his auctions and he replied pretty fast to it.

Three weeks went by and I didnt recieve anything, so I filed a PayPal dispute, which got the sellers attention. 3 days later I recieved the game. Another few days later, I recieved the same game again!

I thought I would update everyone on the situation:

The seller contacted me and gave me the other buyers address and said he would reimburse me for shipping and to just send the games out. Well I packaged the games and waited until I got mine first, just in case (took a while coming from canada) I recieved it today the powerblade game is perfect but the sqoon game is not what was pictured it has a name on it under the label in black marker.(sometimes you can't get it all off). Now I don't know if the seller gave me a different one than pictured, the one in the auction wasn't like that or the other buyer switched it with one he had. I contacted the seller and I'm waiting for a response.

Seller just contacted me and said the following

"if he did replace the cart, I will contact him and possibly give him a negative. As for your case, you can try to remove permenant marker with motor oil on cloth. If it doesn't work, I can refund you the money.

Please let me know"

"If he did replace the cart" sounds strange, the seller should know if the game he originally sent had marker on it. but he is willing to fix the problem, I'm very happy about that. People do make mistakes I understand but if the other buyer did switch games thats just bullsh*t. At least in the end it should work out for me. Grin

Possibly the other seller didn't replace the cart, just put his or someone elses name he was going to give the game to on there and then found out about the mistake. Seems odd and bizarre but stranger things have happened.

I hate eBay. I had some awesome experiences but I've had a few shitty ones that really ruined it for me. eBay always sides with the sellers over the buyers. Which is BS since we pay the bills.

eBay free since 2004 and loving it!

As for marker, try goo gone, being very careful to stay away from the label.

Bad boys, what'cha gonna do when I come for you!
