Here's the story. On occasion I allow my brother to use my ebay and paypal account, but he always calls me before doing so. I approved of him buying something for his gf's birthday and he paid for it. I get one of those notices saying pay for the item, if you have done so disregard the message, so I disregard it.
I get an unpaid item message 8 days after the auction and I call my bro up to verify if he paid, he said he did so I check my account and nothing was sent. He probably didn't press submit after changing the shipping address. So I sent the payment immediately explaining the situation.
The seller has now stated that they will continue to give me an unpaid item and the item is no longer available. They state the auction says I have 5 - 7 days to pay. I reviewed it and it does not say anything about how many days I have to pay for the item. Even if that were the case, I don't see how the item is unavailable after 1 day (especially it being a weekend). I told them I have sent payment and they didn't issue a refund if it is unavailable. Now they are still saying they are not going to do business with me, which is fine, but they still haven't refunded the money. I can care less if I get a strike because it's only 1 and it's from some idiot who can't do business properly and work things out, or at least try to.
My question is: Do I file a claim with PayPal for an unreceived item? Or is there anything I can do to get my money back? They did not respond it he message are for the unpaid item messages, rather they responded to me, and currently the status is "awaiting other party's response."
Cliffs: Thought payment was sent on ebay, it wasnt so i sent it after 8 days of auction ending after receiving unpaid item message. Had the option to pay, did so. Seller saying item is not available and hasn't refunded my money and still trying to give me unpaid item strike.
