I won an eBay item (250258316278 - NEW Magnavox 20" Flat-Panel LCD HDTV Monitor TV/DVD) for $374 and paid for it thru PayPal on June 15, and waited about 6-7 weeks to receive it, because it sometimes takes about this time for USPS parcels to reach me in YEMEN.
But it never arrived, and the seller kept promising to resolve the issue, and I was then surprised to find that the seller was no longer registered with eBay!
I never received any ALERT from eBay, though I used to receive such alerts before, even to items I bid on and not won.
I filed a refund claim with PayPal, but it was refused, as PayPal required any claim to be filed within 60 days of payment!
I tried eBay, but was not helped there as well, and tried LIVE ONLINE HELP, and was advised by the clerk to contact the police to arrest the seller, and they would help with more incriminating evidence against the seller!
The seller has a running online store! His last email to me on Aug. 22 reads:-
" Hi I am out of town Please don't wory you will get your money I am so sorry for all this I don't know where the tv is I am waiting to hear from the usps I filed a lost report with them. You will get the payment back I am not going to refuse the paypal claim
Please understand that this was out of my control and I will resolve it "
He has not replied to my further emails.
Thanks
