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."



Thanks Bill.. I did finally figure out how to do that.. ebay does NOT make
it simple to file complaints, and all but impossible to contact them
directly (yes, I know if you dig deeply enough, you can, but they should
have a more direct approach).

Take care, and stay well.
