Hello 'gabemazz',
The general 'rule of thumb' is that you never accept a promised second item. That is
almost always a delaying technique to get you to wait past day 45 when you can no longer
file a claim, -- and now you are being delayed past day 60 when you can no longer leave
feedback.
If your payment came from a credit card you might be able to file a chargeback by calling the
1-800 number on the statement or back of the card. You must have all the transaction details
in front of you when you place the call.
You have a low feedback score and sellers from that region of the world all too frequently rely
on your not knowing how the system works, -- and being too nice to ruthlessly enforce your
claim even if you do.
45 days is just over 6 weeks. When you open a claim, you have a further 21 days to conclude it.
Next time, pursue it to the end and get your money back.
If, by some miracle, the item shows up, -- you promptly repay the seller.
The seller already has you paypal email because he got it when you bought the item. Sure, he
might have to look for it, but by this time I doubt he has any intention of doing anything.
You cannot continue your claim, I assume you cannot leave feedback, - but if you can, do it now.
Polite and truthful will make you appear more believable to other buyers.
What you describe happens so often to new users. It is a common query on these boards.
If you do not file that claim no later than day 43, you get nothing and the seller keeps the money
and the item.
Never let this happen to you again.
