Hello... I saved up money for a DJI Mavic Mini to take with me during a much... much needed holiday break next week. I bought it from a seller on eBay with good rating, so I thought all was good. But the seller took four days to post it because "he needed the money to be deposited into his bank account first" as he said to me. On Monday I got notice from eBay the drone was posted using Royal Mail 2nd class and it is now Friday, royal mail has come by already, and no drone still. Seller has gone radio silent when I asked on Thursday as to where it is. No reply still... even when I opened a missing item case with eBay. The seller also had a shop with plenty of items, and 100% good feedback, so I assumed he was okay... but today that shop of his disappeared. His hundred or so items just... vanished. As far as I'm aware, if he did post the drone on Monday using 2nd class, it should of have been here. He should of have replied to my message already. And its just... radio silence from both eBay AND the seller days before my holiday. eBay cannot step in until 30 of June, which is completely ridiculous. There is definately no drone coming here and if I don't get my money on time, I wont be able to get another one. 30 of June is the day they step in, not the day they refund me. Who knows how long that would take. I got the idea of getting the reference number on the 2nd class postage and call Royal Mail to see if there was even anything handed in. Its not a tracked service I know but there is in fact a reference number with information that eBay doesnt show to buyers for some reason. Is there no way I can retrieve this? Is there nothing I can do?
