Looking for advice from eBay situation

mfisher27 · 11-29-2013, 10:24 PM

So last week I won and paid for 2 auctions. Didn't think much of it and received them today. Well the packaging looked familiar between the two. I see the return address is the exact same on both packages with the exception of an apartment number added to one of them. I first thought this was a little odd so I checked to see if I had won both items from the same seller. Well as it turns out, it was 2 different accounts but same location with what ended up being the same return address. Isn't this not allowed on eBay? Im not trying to rip him off on shipping but come on, there's no other reason for this. Has anyone else had a situation like this before? I realize I'm not leaving a negative feedback but what would be a reasonable DSR? Definitely rubbed me the wrong way that I paid $6.00 shipping when they should have been in the same package.

Thank you

Being a whistle blower isn't going to get your shipping money back, I'd leave it alone.

If you paid for shipping twice & he sent them in two different envelopes then he paid for shipping twice also.

If you paid for shipping twice & he shipped them in the same envelope, then yes he ripped you off on shipping.

For all you know, he could have shipped out 50 or 100 packages that same day, doesn't look at the addresses when he prints them off of eBay & just ships everything as it prints.

There is no rule about having multiple selling accounts. And since they were bought from different accounts Ebay would have required the items to be shipped separately.

Exactly this. He shipped separately not together, so he didn't do anything wrong.

Yea I completely understand. I would have been upset if I had paid for them separately but they were sent together. That's a whole different story. This just seemed off to me. There is no need for 2 accounts to sell the same type of stuff on.

Actually there is one good reason. Say he used up all his free listings on one account he could switch to the other to keep listing for free. There are several card sellers out there who sell on several accounts.
