More needs to be done to protect buyers for rip-off sellers

I purchased an item back in April and paid on 13/04/2013 ... the item wasn't marked as posted so I contact the seller numerous times asking if the item had been posted. Eventually in May she responded saying her father had died and she was packing up his house before returning home - and would be another week or two before she was in internet contact again. I patiently waited ... unfortunately now it is 10 weeks later and I still don't have my item.


 


The dispute resolution centre is useless both on paypal and ebay because it is now more then 45 days later.  I can't even see where I can dispute the closure of the case or argue my case with anyone.


 


I can't even post feeback on the seller and this seller is still on ebay able to continue ripping people off.  It wasn't a significant amount of money (under $30) but it is the principle of it.  I have just sent her a paypal request for my money ... not that I am holding my breath but at least if she doesn't pay I may still have the option of lodging a dispute for the non-payment of my money request.


 


Buyers should be able to post feedback for an unlimited time period ...
