Ebay seller sent me a recorded delivery - he used the wrong address so it's being returned to sender. Can i intercept and get it redelivered to my correct address or do i have to wait for it to return to sender and start the process over again?

Trying to get through to an actual person at Royal Mail is impossible.

if it's been marked by royal mail as "return to sender" you can't organise a re-delivery. gotta wait for it to get back then get them to re-send it Sad

He ignored my email and the address I put on the order details and my main ebay address and used my 'home' address on ebay which was still my old house.

edit - still not actually sure how he had access to all my addresses. The ebay order details bring up the right address.

The wrong address was designated as 'home' so that must be it, half my fault then - but when i send stuff out I always use 'order details' and definitely wouldn't ignore an email.

Doesn't everybody send to the address stated in the PayPal email? I never, ever look at the address on eBay

Have you tried entering the tracking numbers on the USPS website? Always works with my royal mail tracking numbers once it enters the USA - http://www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfirm.htm
