Absolutely nothing, I guess it is still just sitting there. Do you have a more detailed question?

Why would any buyer have waited six months for anything?

Please read the Money Back Guarantee which explains what buyers should do if/when a transaction goes wrong.  That information includes opening an item not received case if the item is not received within a few days of its last estimated delivery date.

If you, the buyer, have not taken advantage of the protection eBay offers, then you, the buyer, have contributed to your problem.

The only reason I could possibly comprehend for letting something sit that long is if it was a preorder.  Even that though is too far out.  Preorders have to be listed within the allowable shipping and handling timeframes which cap out at 60 days to be sent out.  As for 180 days though...  wow....  Thats outside of both eBay's and Paypal's protections.

Never wait that long.  Paypal allows 180 days from purchase date to file a case. If you paid by credit card. and you always should, contact your card company right away.

Read and save for next time:

1) Thoroughly read the eBay MBG (money back guarantee) policy.
https://pages.ebay.com/ebay-money-back-guarantee/

2) Once the estimated delivery date shown to you has passed, File an INR (Item Not Received) case. You can only file ONE case on eBay, and it must be done within 30 days of this date.

3) Seller will have to refund unless they can provide a valid tracking number. It will take X amount of time.

4) Pay close attention to timelines and steps during the case, and ask eBay to step in at the appropriate time if seller has not refunded yet.

Do not communicate with the seller any more except via the case.
