So basically a couple nights ago I won an item that is usually worth $250-280, for about $90. To my knowledge this seller was experienced and was okay with having the item being bought for such a low price, the shipping was $13 which I thought was a tad low due to the fact it's around 8-10 pounds in weight. Bascially I waited two days after I won. I got a message from the buyer saying he could not ship it right away, due to some issues with money or some bullstuff. I told him, I needed it ASAP and I left it at that. The third day after winning the auction he messaged me on Ebay, asking if "I had received a refund." Now here's the problem: He confirmed he had received the $90 USD, and was going to ship it, MY paypal said the seller had not claimed the money and it was basically stuck between me and him.
Here's a summary for anyone too lazy to read it.
I won auction on Ebay.
Seller says he will ship it, and has received the money
Paypal says he hasn't claimed money
Seller later says shipping is expensive and it wont be here until next week
Seller asks me if I received a refund.
I say "Why, if you can't afford shipping I'll pay it." Even though I already paid the shipping and handling fee.
Now my question... He's over the handling fee date, (2 days) can he not ship me the item? is he allowed to just flake on me?
