Returned item because late arrival

[bumbleharry]

I returned the item via the courier and did not accept it because it did not arrive during the time period specify and the seller did not contact me to advise me ofthat.

I advised the seller before it arrived that would be doing so .

I realise I should have contacted ebay before I did that.

The result is that the seller has their goods and my money and refuses to refund.

Any advice?

Thanks

As you realise that is not the way to deal with problems

There is no return or dispute for late items

You can try and open a not recieved dispute but if the item tracking says Delivered then you would lose.

Too late.

I posted the problem and am looking for help not a statement

[redwick1]

It is not a statement that is the answer. It is the only option you have.

What else do you think you can do

You can  not open a return because you have nothing to return

If the tracking shows Delivered then you would lose any dispute.

Check the tracking

The item was not accepted from the courier and the courier returned the item.
I was asking the community for help,as a what to do now question , not a what you should have done reply.

I have already said. You open a not receieved dispute in the resolution centre at the bottom of the page and if the tracking does not say Delivered you will win, If it says Delivered then you would lose. That is all you can do
