With all due respect, you should have opened a disute. You have been a member for 10 years. IMO you let yourself get "robbed"

Sorry that you have dealt with an unscrupulous seller.

".On his page he state 45 days delivery time from CHINA"

That is really bad, and looks like a tactic to try and prevent buyers from opening a Paypal dispute until it is too late for them to do so.

Unfortunately, not all buyers do realise they only have 45 days to open a dispute, and get caught out far too often. Some believe the seller when told, wait another week etc, until it is too late.

Easy to say they should know better, but they don't.

yes it is 45 days to OPEN a dispute, but then you have a FURTHER 20 days to escalate it, time enough for any delivery to arrive....

after 10 years ebaying surely this is not the first time you had an item not arrive?

It's becasue of these ratbag sellers, ebay and paypal are going to extend the claim time to 180 days, that now will give the ratbag buyers a chance to rob the seller.

Is there no win.?

On the other side of the coin it may just get some of the Chinese sellers to rethink their "item location" for cheap knock-off goods.

and maybe stop spamming the boards when all they're doing is exposing their actions..........

I completely agree with you however that the 180 day claim time is completely obhorrent to most members.
