Just an update on this one. All's well that ends well. Favorable outcome for me. Courier company tried a last minute resolve by locating the item and telling me I could collect it myself.......80kl away for me. Needless to say, I rejected this offer and so did Paypal. If it had been given to Aust Post over 3 weeks ago it would have saved the sellers account being deducted. Item has been RTS so I hope the seller cops the freight charge for that also. Lesson learned for a careless seller. Didn't even bother to reply to the Paypal claim, not a wise move. Took less than 5 days to sort this out.
