Hi, I purchased an item on ebay from a seller with 100% positive feedback. that was december 8th, 04. It was a custom made item but he told me i would have it before christmas. I emailed him several times as christmas was approaching, never getting a responce. In january i finally got a responce, and he claimed his friend was in an accident and he has been helping him, but he would get them out to me as soon as possible. A couple weeks later i emailed him and actually got a responce saying that it was being shipped the next day. That was around jan. 18th. by Febuary 8th i hadn't received anything and had emailed him at least 4 times, called and left messages with no responce. So, i finally tried to file a claim for non receipt of item with ebay and paypal, only to find out that i had missed the deadline by 1 day for filing, as it has to be within 60 days. Which doesn't make any since to me, i loose out because i gave him more time.
Anyway, i got ahold of him again and he said he was out of the country at that point and would check the tracking info on the package when he got back. never heard back from him, several emails and almost another month i still havn't heard anything. I called him today, he actually answered the phone, and as soon as i said who i was, he hung up...
At this point, since i payed for the item, and never recieved it, is there any legal recourse available??
thanks for any help
