Five months ago, an eBay seller drop shipped me 4 UVB reptile bulbs. Now every month exactly on the 12th, I get the same shipment because they apparently left Petco's repeat-delivery enabled. The packing slips show they're being charged $100 monthly. I continue to message them monthly to no response

Seller shipped it off by taping the game and soundtrack disks down on the case I peeled off the tape, but it took off pieces of the game sticker. The soundtrack remains taped down for fear of damaging it. Seller does no refunds, so would ebay cover me? Didn't find a clear answer, so I turn to y'all.
