A British teenager bagged more than he bargained for when he bought a PlayStation game console on the internet auction website eBay, discovering about 65,400 euro ($A103,500) in cash in his delivery.

Police were on Wednesday attempting to trace the person who sent the cash, which arrived in the box containing the game console.

The parents of the boy, who has not been identified, alerted detectives, who collected the money, with a police spokesman saying that the cash would be returned to its owner unless it was obtained illegally.

"There's obviously a concern about where the money came from," a local police spokesman said.

"Our economic crime unit is trying to find out who sent it."

If the owner of the cash is not traced, a court hearing could be called to determine what to do with it.

"We know eBay is a great place to pick up a bargain although, in this case, we agree that the contents of the parcel were somewhat unusual and we will assist with any inquiries police may wish to make," an eBay spokesman said.

Someone could show up at the kids place to 'collect' the money, then break his legs.

The parents did the right thing.
