A refund is not up to the seller.
You are covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee.
Go to your original purchase and look for the Return button.
My eBAy-> Purchase History-> Return-> Item is Defective
This is all automatic and no human beings are involved to mess things up.
If the seller does not send you return shipping (as a label or as funds) you will be refunded.You can leave feedback.
If the seller sends you return shipping, you send it back and on delivery, you will be refunded.You can leave feedback.
If the seller refuses to refund, eBay will refund you and he gets a Defect on his selling account. This is much more serious than it sounds. You can leave feedback.
The most effective feedback is calm and factual.
You are also covered by Paypal's Buyer Protection for 180 days from payment.
You are also covered by the chargeback policy of your credit card (if you didn't use PP, or if you back your PP account with a card). Card policies differ.
I would suggest that you buy restraints from a local medical supply house. Here in Victoria BC, Rexall Drugs has one.
Best wishes for your brother's safety.
