Hi,
I bought a Sony ICF SW55 from a seller in Russia on the 2nd of August. He posted only 2 days later.
The estimated delivery was from the 19th of Aug to the latest of October the 7th.
The last tracking update was on the 8th of August.
Interestingly on close to the last estimated arrival date, the seller messaged me this:
"hello. I found out that the parcel arrived in Australia, now it's tedious to wait for delivery in the country. parcels go to your country for a very long time, but unfortunately this does not depend on us, this is how postal services work."
When I asked him to provide some details, how did he know that it's arrived?
He responded & claimed that I misunderstood him, that he's using a translator, as he doesn't understand english, which I found abit odd.
At the time, I was about to open an "item not received case" which I did anyway, for protection just incase. After all, that's why it's there. After all, 2 months is a long time.
The seller now claims that it may have been posted via seamail.
Now the seller wants me to close the case, he claims this:
"Could you close your request for now upon not receiving the purchased item? Since the money in my PayPal account is blocked due to your request, I cannot make financial transactions."
He claims that I will still be protected & ebay will refund if it still doen't arrive.
I'm suspicious that he maybe trying to rip one off.
Should I leave it open, till the item arrives?
Feedback is greatly appreciated.
