A simple way to get refund when seller informs you your item is lost and ask for refund

Why is using ebay such a hassle for a simple refund for lost item

[klhmdg]

The seller just should refund you.

Not difficult at all.

If the seller doesnt refund, wait till 1 day after the last estimated delivery date and file for Item Not Received.

It's not that hard.

The seller can refund anytime they want.

If they don't:

A day after the estimated delivery date Ebay gave you, open an Item Not Received case.
Go to your purchase history and click I didn't get it in the menu next to the item.
The seller will have 3 days to provide a tracking number showing it was delivered or refund.
If they don't, return to the case on day 4 and ask Ebay to step in.

Was the item shipped using tracking? 

If so, what does Tracking say?
