Ebay gift card accidentally went out of balance in failed payment. Nearing two month still no refund

I was paying for an item with combination of ebay gift card and paypal

 

and at the final process, I had failed payment

 

where the seller never receive the payment

 

but my brand new $50 ebay gift card went to zero balance.

 

And no transaction on paypal side.

 

So I contacted the live agent on the chat box

 

who suggested paying with my creditcard for the item and wait it out

 

the gift card balance will correct itself and come back in about a week.

 

Well, it's been two months now and I have contacted support team multiple times about this issue.

 

They all told me they will escalate the issue to the ebay gift card team and the matter will

 

resolve in about 8 business days but nothing ever happens.

 

I could use some help here.

 

What am I suppose to do now?
