Question
If I purchased a mixer through e-bay and paid with paypal, and received the mixer in good condition, and another mixer is delivered from a different address than the first mixer am I opbligated to pay for the second mixer or to return it? I only won the auction for one mixer. I have not heard anything from the seller at all.
Thanks

Answer
I never heard of this happening before, all I can say is maybe the second mixer was delivered my mistake. If you only won the auction for one mixer then I don't think you are obligated to return it, but I'm not really 100%. If it was a mistake on their part, you can return it, but make sure they pay for shipping and once you receive that amount via paypal, then ship it back.
