One was my $45 rubber parts order. The other was $950 worth of Sprinter parts. Tony was more than glad to issue a call tag to overnite that stuff back to him.

Re: [MBZ] ebay scam?
Mao, Take off your tinfoil hat and back away from the boxes Really, it's as simple as someone probably screwed up with the seller. I have, on a couple of occasions, received the wrong item or an item twice when a seller got things goofed up during packing/shipping. Have you opened both to see what they are? Have you contacted the seller? You need to dial the paranoia down a little, Mao. People make mistakes, that's all.

Open both of them. One is probably wrong and need to be returned to the seller. If it’s something of marginal value, they might just tell you to keep it.
