Today, I bid on an item on eBay, only to find the exact item I wanted later while out in the city. I bought it, assuming I would be outbid, as always. Nope. FML

I did not expect this to get posted at all haha well anyway it was actually a pink unicorn onesie (yes I'm a child inside), I'm definitely going to buy it because it's not the seller's fault and my best friend is going to buy it off me for a onesie party she's going to so I'll just change the address to her house, no harm done. I'm very surprised I won the auction because I am always outbid at the last minute, the demand for pink unicorns probably isn't very high. Thanks for your comments, even the one that said I was an asshole lol :)

Just ask to cancel the order. Explain why. They usually understand. If you are nice to them they are usually nice back! Works for me.

If you can't return it, just pop it back on eBay & let people bid on it to make your money back.

Don't respond to the winning bid email. After a certain amount of time without you responding, they have to put it back up to be bid on.

And then the vendor puts in a complaint and negative feedback, and people start cancelling your bids.

And then rest secure in the knowledge that you are, in fact, a douchebag. Be a grown up.

I have reason to believe that the item was in fact, a Butt plug.

And what reason might that be, pray tell?

Look on the bright side.. If it gets lost or stolen or broken, you'll have a backup. If you feel you don't need a backup, if it's suitable you can give it as a gift or donate it. Or you can re-sell it.

You could have waited to see.

Um, sell it on eBay? Now that you've hoarded two of the things, the market has a sudden shortage. Maybe a tulip mania panic will set in and you'll profit handsomely.

Unlucky mate, hopefully the person is an understanding supplier/seller and you won't have an issue.
