Theoretical ebay selling question

Theoretically, asking for a “friend” etc etc…

Say you sell an item of reasonable value. You post it as per the agreed sale, with tracked delivery. It’s marked as delivered, and the funds for the sale clear into your bank account

What happens when the item which has been “sold” and “delivered” arrives back at your house as “return to sender, addressee gone away”?

I would guess the decent thing to do would be to message the buyer and see what’s up? Offer to refund if there is a serious problem? I know it’s a pain and you’re possibly going out of your way but you don’t know what’s going on with people, they may not intentionally have messed you around

Message them to ask if they’re happy with the widget they bought from you?

You get in touch with the buyer to ask if there’s a problem and explain you still have their item, because you’re essentially a decent person!

Make contact and do the right thing.
