Sent item back recorded delivery so waiting for him to say he has got it back, very reluctant to answer my messages. Says he will refund me once he receives it.

are you doing this through the resolution centre mate? ie are ebay and paypal aware of your dispute? as if he starts to become unhelpful they will take the money from him and give it back to you anyway as long as you can prove to ebay that it has been delivered(ie with tracking number)

Seller says he sent a refund yesyerday, nothing showing in my paypal account? Have contacted ebay but they need 48hrs to decide what to do. Looks like i,ve got a fight on my hands.

if you have got a fight on your hands its going to be an easy one, so try not to get to worked up matey

if he is messing you about, paypal will just take his money

what i think may have happened is that he had no moeny is his paypal account to give you so it will need to come out of his bank account - which is linked to his paypal, sometimes this is instant but a lot of the time paypal will send it as an echeque which means it will take a while to clear..ask him if it has been sent as an echeque - if he doesnt understand tell him to look at the refund transaction and read the details as it will say in the details

i hope this helps

This unfortunately is not uncommon, i myself have gone through the same proces more than once.

There are several things i hate about eBay and two of those things are too many unscrupulous skanky feckers trying to con honest buyers, and too long a drawn out over complicated process just to get a bloody refund.

You're in the right and you will get your money back, just takes time now. It wouldn;t surprise me if the seller hasn't made a refund but you just never know your luck.

I hope eBay now sorts it quickly for you.

we have a few issues on ebay too, however ours is the opposite..lol

our main problem is irratating tw*tish buyers who leave you unfair feedback and try and demand refunds for items that are well outside warrenty periods!

suppose there are muppets on both sides of the coin

I trade on eBay too and i'm glad to say that i have had very few problems with buyers who on the whole have been easy enough to keep happy.

I think it all went wrong when traders were stopped from leaving negative feedback. Buyers can now say what they like even if they are being skanky beggars. The seller now has no way to criticise bad buyers by way of negative feedback.

It is no longer a level playing field and is becoming a more expensive proposition for traders when every few months they keep changing their terms of business and putting fees up.
