I recently bought an item, but it arrived defective. After the seller accepted my return and I sent the package back, it was sent back to me by the courier saying that the tax code/VAT number was missing for the payment of customs duties, since it was an international shipment. So I contacted the seller asking for a new label with all the correct information. Having received no reply, I contacted eBay, which after several days issued a refund in my favor even though I still had the item in hand. Shortly after the refund was issued, the seller contacts me asking where his item is. So I explain to him that if he wants it back, he needs to provide me with a new label. The seller then stops replying to me. What should I do with this item? Can I do whatever I want with it, or do I have to wait for the seller to contact me again? Since it's a large item, I have no intention of keeping it parked in my house collecting dust. I'm only afraid that if I were to get rid of it, the seller might make a fuss and I could get into legal trouble.
