I am appallingly honest. If I found someone had sent me something I had not ordered/agreed to pay for. then I would e mail them straightaway saying that this was not something ......

Equally I would expect them to not pay for something which they THOUGHT I had ordered but had not ...... something which has happened to some of my colleagues who have e-bay accounts ......

I just think we should be very careful about anything ordered over the Internet, and check every transaction VERY carefully.

Good for you pendy. Honesty and a keen eye on wats happening is always best. You get what you ordered no more no less and if they make the error then they pay. Me I would panic and send it back asap.
 
if someone sends more than your requirements you are not going to chase the van down the street!excuse me sir but i did not order all these? you will put them on a shelf and wait for the response of the sender! No reply !!!!!!!!!!! thank you ! a few quid to be made here! simple.:cool:
 
I must admit I would be tempted to keep goods and say nothing. But then I would have sleepless nights worrying about the consequences of doing so.

Between you EBay could be very busy. Staggers gets the unwanted extras to you and then you flog em on Ebay during the long nights of winter:D
 
I know someone a few doors up from me who is deliberately ordering things in different names and having them sent to his address !
Oh and if the postie ever needed proof that they was for him and not a postal mistake he gets out one of his many name-change deed polls !
 
OK so, talking about honesty:

A guy is interviewing three young women for a job serving in his bar. He asks them all the same question which is: "If you were to find a five pound note in the bar, what would you do with it?"

Lady #1 answers: "Finders, keepers, it would go straight in the tips jar"
Lady #2 answers: "I would give it to the manager. If the till was short by that amount at the end of the night it would be included with the nights takings. If the till was correct however, I would expect it to be put in the tips jar.
Lady #3 answers: I would ask the customers to check their money and see if anyone had lost it. If they could come up with the correct denomination I would give it to them. Otherwise, I would put it in the tips jar.

Who got the job?
 
Going with number 3 she has covered the most important part of checking with customers and sharing if it is not claimed.
