Did you add the tracking to the case when you returned the item?

If the tracking shows delivery back to the seller, you should be able to ask Ebay to step in 48 hours after the tracking shows delivery.

Does the tracking show that the item has been returned to the seller?

Re: seller hasnt given refund

Where was the confirmation that the item has arrived?

 

On your screenshot, it doesn't say the item has been sent yet.

 

It looks as if the tracking may not have been added to the case.

 

Check the carrier's website.

If it shows the item has been delivered, you could try contacting Ebay Customer Services, asking them to confirm that the item is shown as being sent and the tracking has been added to the case.

Then, if your tracking confirms the item was received by the seller more than 48 hours ago, ask CS if they can step in and refund you.

 

Use the link to get a callback.

Unfortunately you cannot take what ebay says as correct, all it means is refund is in the system.

Refunds go back to source, and depending on how you paid it is not instant. Payment by paypal, fast, debit card up to 7 days, credit card up to 30 days.
