Seller Claims Item Backordered - Outside Refund Window
Hello, I purchased a item and after a week or so inquired why it wasn’t shipped. Seller tells me that the item is a “pre-order†and they haven’t received the shipment yet. I wait a little longer, no updates and seller claims they are still waiting for item. The option to trigger a refund through eBay is now gone since eBay is saying it’s been to long. It’s been about 30 days since original purchase. I asked seller for refund via message and they haven’t responded for a week. What can I do to try and get my money back or be able to trigger the refund through eBay? I’ve tried to find a way to contact eBay directly and it seems they do everything in their power to force people to the FAQ pages. Thanks

Never ever let a seller stall you beyond the time frame that you can get help from Ebay.
Ebay has a 30 day Money Back Guarantee.... which means 30 days from the latest estimated date of delivery.

If it is too late to use the Ebay 30 day MBG, contact either Paypal or your credit card company to file a dispute.
