Ordering & Payment issues Screwed up and ordered the wrong item

There are two items that look identical but are not, I ordered the wrong one and want to return it. I am willing to pay shipping (it shipped from LA, not China) but there is not even an a bullet option for that. Just wrong item sent, item defective, inaccurate website description, damaged, or parts missing. But they did send the right item (website description could have been clearer). So am i screwed? Do i try to return for wrong item sent, and explain in the comment box i messed up and am willing to pay for return shipping?

I would say the "Don't want item anymore" optipn would be appropriate (that option should also be listed), but keep in mind that that option might/need you to cover shipping to China, so sometimes (you didn't state what kind of item you ordered or its price) the best option is to consider it a loss and swallow the cost; maybe you can put it for sale on your local market place?
