I'll try and keep this short and sweet. Won and paid for a parts LCD TV on eBay, Sent the seller numerous emails thru both eBay and private emails about shipping dates with no reply. opened a dispute here then got a call from paypal regarding this issue, we both agreed that the seller was non-responsive and that the phone number provided by eBay was either bogus or just not being answered. the paypal rep assured me that my funds would be repayed to my paypal account in a couple of days, and to go ahead and escalate to a claim, which i did. that was over 8 days ago. still no funds. paypal has placed an oct. 2 deadline for the seller to respond. the smart money says he won't. how long after the 2nd should i expect to see my money? and why would paypal try and be proactive, (that's what the survey i took called the phone call from paypal), and then not be? to me a couple of days is 2, not 8, but whatever. With all the horror stories I'm reading on here I'm beginning to think I'm about to get bent over twice without the courtesy of a reach around.
