DM messaged me the other week saying her cousin has said a member of her family is selling some new kids clothes I might be interested in, stuff her daughter never got around to wearing. The woman messaged me, sent me pictures of the outfits and I chose 4 that I liked and asked the price. She gave a price and after asking my DM if she was definitely trustworthy, I sent the money through PayPal. This was friday night and she told me she would post Monday morning. , which I said was fine. She is from my hometown where all my family still live but I dont live there anymore, I've never met this woman but DM'S cousin said she was an honest person.
Monday I get a text to say that she is ill and not able to get out to the post office but will send as soon as shes better. I said that's fine and thanks for letting me know. 3 days later I hadnt heard anything so dropped her a text to ask how was feeling and she told me that every thing was ready to post and would do it first thing in the morning. 4 days after this I hadnt recieved any message or parcel, so I sent one asking if she had sent the parcel and if I could get a proof of postage. She didnt reply for a few hours and my DM had looked on her profile on social media where it showed she had listed one of the outfits I had purchased for sale 20 hours ago. I had a look myself and screenshotted to send to her. She replied and told me it was a mistake and she didnt mean to put that one up and not to worry SHE had sent the parcel and she would send the proof of postage in the morning as she was out and it was late. That was over a week since I sent the payment. The following morning she told me that HER HUSBAND had not sent the parcel it was still in the backseat of the car but she was really sorry and that SHE would send it 1st class that day and asked for my address again...
A couple of hours later she sent proof of postage where she had sent it only 2nd class. Which is fine but she said she would send 1st so I just mentioned that. She got a bit arsey with me but then later apologised after I made It clear that the whole situation was startign to make me suspicious. The parcel arrived while I was at work, 2 weeks exactly from the payment date, I open it to find that 3 of the items are not items that I chose and they are all too big, 2 sizes too big. They are not they similar to the ones I chose. I messaged her straight away saying I hadnt received the items that I wanted. She asked me to send the photos of the ones I DID asked for and the ones I received. I took a screenshot of the original message of what I had chose. She told me that there must've been a mistake and HER HUSBAND must've sent my parcel to someone else and their parcel to me. But one of the outfits was correct, I asked did she have 2 of the same then? She avoided that question. I asked if she can contact the other lady to see if she got my parcel and she said she cant because she deletes the conversations after posting... so she told me to send them back and she'll refund me but asked if I was keeping the one. I told her no as I was told it was my daughters size but it's actually 2 sizes bigger. She said that brand usually runs up small and that it should be roughly the size I was after 
I said it definitely wasnt and i could see that as soon as I pulled it put of the bag before even looking at the label. I also noticed one of the items was stained.
Anyway I've just sent the parcel back, but now I'm worrying that she wont refund me or will claim it's not arrived. I'm wishing I sent it tracked but then it means I would've been out of pocket. I'm also thinking that she may try to say I've caused the stain on the one item, even though they were out of the bag for for about 10 mins and then straight back in. I do tend to have an overactive imagination and think of all these things that COULD happen even if others think it's ridiculous.
Aibu to be worried? To think shes dodgy? It cost £50 (the clothes were Spanish) and everything seems to be a bit weird. Would PayPal refund me if she were to claim they weren't received even though I sent F&F (wont be doing that again)
