I bought a model car for $110 from a seller and it was a pre-order as the model hadn't been released yet. However, the car was released sometime around the 1st week of May, and the seller messaged me saying he hasn't received it yet and will send it to me as soon as he receives it. That was during the first week of May. He messaged me again on June 16 saying he hasn't received it yet and has refunded the money to my credit card. I didn't receive any refund notification and after checking my account, I can see there is no refund.I messaged the buyer again and he responded by saying he is waiting for ebay to send him the money that I paid so that he can refund me - I thought ebay will not send a payout unless the item has been sent? Anyway I messaged the seller again but he didn't respond and has stopped responding. I did not use paypal but used ebay to pay, and ebay are saying its now outside the timeframe for their money back guarantee. Short of lodging a disputed transaction with my bank, I don't know what to do and would appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.
