Been waiting for my purchase since December 2023

Hello fellow members.  I hope you may have some advice for me please, I purchased a product from an Ebay seller who has a shop. I paid for the item as they announced the release and was told it would be 3 - 5 months as coming direct from manufacturer to them then to me.  This was paid for December 23 so should have had the item approx May to June. 2024. I am still not in receipt of the item and have been told a few times 4 to 6 weeks and to date that they are still waiting for the item.  They have said that due to it being over 60 days I cannot have a refund and have told me not to open a case with Ebay.  I am not sure about this and hoping that someone will know what I can do to get my money back £240.

eBay and PayPal's buyer protection schemes only last for 30 days. Credit and deit card chargebacks can sometimes be made for up to, I think, about eight months.

How or where you hope to get your money back well over a year later I have no idea. Perhaps have a word with citizens advice, or see a solicitor.
