Dispute Timeframe

[bombhead_1973]

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 ?

Your Buyer is out of time with Ebay. Is 30 days. They can Claim through PayPal though they offer 180 days Buyer Protection. 

Best to enter Tracking into Dispatch when you Post. Is Always there then for EBay to check if a Buyer claims Item Not Received.

This was the only time that I didn't enter the tracking information as I went to the Post Office. I normally use an online courier so have proof (that I can't lose or throw away) of postage. After 2 months I presumed it was delivered successfully and threw my receipts away.
