Basically purchased an item through USPS worth more than £200, i have the tracking number but it appears to have stopped at a sorting facility and then never updated, was posted just over a month ago and i still do not have it, seller says they are happy to refund if they get it back, i am happy to wait a little longer but i understand it is much easier to make a case if the tracking is viewable online, does it get taken off eventually?

If this was either an ebay item or a paypal paid item I would still get a claim in before you run out of time. Sellers can be very reasonable and very comforting, but if they don't get it back suddenly decide it is the buyers problem- which it is not.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
