It sounds like the refund mony bounced - the seller write a bad echeck or something.

 

You're too late to file a dispute.

 

If you used a credit card to pay for the item, file a chargeback by calling the customer service number on the back of the card.

i do know that it's too late to open a case. i think she knows about this so she trys to postpone everything until it's too late.

 

i paid with my Chase debit card... not sure if i could call them and get the refund. could i?

thank  you for your help.

The debit card isn't likely to do the job, but you could ask.

 

If you had proof ( emails and such) that the seller delayed you and if it is an ebay purchase, you ould try contacting ebay - they may extend the deadline for opening a dispute.  It's a long shot, but I have heard of such instances.

thank you for all your replies. the seller contacted me back already and said that she had been waiting for the money from paypal too. it might be that situation you just told me.

I'm a seller and I tried to refund money for something that the buyer didn't want to pick up.  I refunded the money with an echeck (transfer out of our bank account and not our paypal account) and it was taken out of our bank account.  However, the status after a week is "removed".  I'm guessing that the buyer didn't get their money back if it is similar to your case, and I'm trying to figure this out.  The money hasn't been put back in our account either, so we are out the money and the buyer didn't get the refund.  So, all that to say that your seller probably isn't being a crook, they just probably had the money taken out of their account by ebay and assume that you really do have it in your account because they don't understand what is really happening.  I don't understand this "removed" thing and wish that Paypal would address it.  I don't want to have to refund the money again and then for whatever reason, never have the original funds put back into my account by paypal......
