    You can open item not received case 1 day after estimated delivery date, escalate on day 4.

    Never let sellers stop you doing this.

    As said, try your payment provider. 

    You can't blame ebay, they provide MBG, you have to use it correctly.

    5 weeks takes you over the 30 days allowed. Ebay does not allow exceptions. Why didn’t you read the money back guarantee, it is on every listing?

    You can open cases but if it is too late they just close automatically.

    Was it the item you left negative feedback for?

    If so, it likes you left it too long to open item not received case or seller delayed you doing so.

    Case has to opened within 30 days & escalated on day 4.

    You may still get help from your payment provider.

    the only time a case can be closed against a buyers wishes is, if it's a change of mind on a private seller who does not accept returns or if it's out of time.

    We could help you,  but would need to know exactly what happened.

     

    For example , which case did you open and for what reason, and were you in time to do so?

    You had 30 days from the estimated delivery date ebay gave you when you paid to open a case for item not received.

     

    Have you read how the ebay money back guarantee works?

     

    The seller's actions should make no difference to your case outcome.

    It all started with the seller saying he is in London UK hence I dealt with
    him but it turns out he's in china so there's a lie to start with he said
    courier in 5 days bought on 6th Feb still not received it tried to cancel
    order seller said no now he's changed his sellers name won't reply to me
    eBay got involved on 3 x seperate occasions but shut it down every time
    saying no mistakes had been made clearly 2:red flags but eBay don't see it
    he's a scammer but no one listening still out of pocket

    You can't open more than one case, are you sure you actually opened a case for item not received using the money back guarantee?

     

    That is not cancelling and it's not reporting through the listing.
