If you already got refunded before the package arrived I'm not sure why you'd bother to complain about it's contents (unless they mailed you a box of literal fresh manure)....If I got 2 FREE radios because of an ebay screw up I'd at best be delighted and at worst be disinterested to the point of chucking them in the trash and not leaving feedback. If you look at it from the seller's perspective he lost 2 radios he might have been able to sell, and on top of that now has negative feedback that might chase customers off... He had it worse than you before the feedback was left.

If you didn't get the refund I could see getting pissed you got the wrong stuff. Getting mad over a couple of free radios doesn't make sense to me.

My ma likes jewlery and the jewlery market has tanked because of covid-19 so she's been buying a lot of good stuff cheap. A while ago she got refunded after being sent the wrong item. The seller sent her a piece of costume jewelry obviously different from the listing, because they got the boxes and labels mixed up. The seller first tried getting the one ma was supposed to get back from the other buyer without luck, but did give a refund.
While that might have been an attempt at fraud it also could have been an honest mistake...I, and the people I come from, like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Even if everyone selling is completely honest there's going to be problems with second hand online sales in the covid economy as inexperienced brick and mortar shops move online to stay alive, and as people who had been casual ebay sellers loose their day jobs and up their ebay business volume to try and survive off eBay. If I get my money back and I'm not sure I was being lied to it wouldn't sit right with me leaving bad feedback and hurting someone who might be struggling to get by...
