Dispute Timeframe

I sold some earphones on 30th November last year and posted them out a day later (marked as dispatched). Now after over 2 months later the buyer has opened a dispute stating that he hasn't received them. Seeing as a long period of time has passed, I no longer have the tracking details for the parcel so I'm unable to trace the parcel. Will ebay force me to refund the buyer after all this time ?

I`m assuming they`ve opened it in paypal, because their out of time on Ebay to do it.

if you can`t prove delivery via a tracking number, then they will win i`m afraid, so you may as well deal with it now, rather than later 🙂

Postage receipts/tracking details should be kept for at least a year, because that`s how long customers can do chargebacks. Anything i ever sold/sell, i would print off the paypal payment and then staple the receipt to it and put them aside. Always a good idea to add tracking to the sale as well when you mark as dispatched, this stops this happening in the first place.
