Knowing you have only 30 days, anything past 2 weeks should raise a red

All you can get back from ebay is your final fees. PayPal gives you just 30
days to file for compensation.


You might benefit by checking out eBay's Buyer Protection Claim program
if you paid via PayPal and/or credit card to get at least some of your
money back.

"eBay's standard purchase protection will reimburse buyers up to $200.00
(less $25.00 to cover processing costs) in cases of non-shipment or
significant misrepresentation of items purchased on eBay, provided the
buyer's claim meets our protection claim eligibility requirements.
The maximum reimbursement for any claim is $175."

Even better and free aternative is to pay using a premium credit card
(gold or platinum) with the protection policy. I have one from MBNA
and it worked with full refund except the postage.
