    If it is marked as dispatched then it has already been posted. Nothing anyone can do about it now.

    That's increasingly untrue. Sellers seem be on a charge these days to mark stuff as dispatched as quickly as possibly, often at ridiculous times of the day, I assume in reaction to some policy change at eBay.

    It's still worth trying to contact the seller about if you haven't already, I'm sure they'd only be too delighted to not send it and keep the money. Just be sure to try via the eBay messaging system first, so you have a record. Failing that, if you paid by PayPal you should be able to get their email address from the transaction confirmation.

    No offence op, but this sounds very childish to me. Bin it when you receive it if you really don't want it.

    You can send a message to the seller through ebay and discuss it with him rather than with us.

    Maybe they bought something they don't want mammy or the wife to see? You're. jumping the gun a bit there.

    For €3?

    If he didn't want anyone to see it then he shouldn't use ebay.

    €3 would buy you not one but TWO vibrators in Dealz. For example.

    Everyone makes mistakes. Except you obviously. You're special.

    No, I am not special, but can't remember mistakenly ordering not one but TWO vibrators on ebay:eek:

    The OP got his answers - only the seller can help him.

    Apologies for OT.

    Surely it will arrive in plain brown packaging.

    Who cares, and what business is it of ours? The question is asked and answered.

    Sorry guys for not replying, no haha it wasn't something I didn't want anyone to see, I just bought it and then found something else instead of it so I was just wondering if i could cancel it :) it was nothing to do with the item being removed either I just seen it was removed when I went back to get the item no, I guess it was a stupid question to post!
