how to report a bad seller

Question

How can I report a bad seller? He took my money on the promise he would deliver an item, and put it on back order. Now Ebay refuses to help because 30 days have past since the "estimated delivery date" has past.

There are many sellers who do not have the product in hand and have no "delivery date" scheduled. I lost $38.20 to a seller who promised to deliver item that has never been shipped. I started a dispute with my credit care.

You only have thirty days from the last estimated delivery date to file an "item not received" case with eBay. Once that deadline passes, eBay can no longer help.

You may still have recourse through your payment method, though. PayPal and many credit cards offer up to six months of protection from the date of purchase.
