Were the tour operters Abta/atol bonded that you know off?

As you've found, you can only make claim through eBay/paypal within 45 days, and leave feedback up to 60 days, but if you funded the payment with a credit card, then there may be some recourse through them.

I think you may get a better repsonse to this question on the travel/holidays board, as it is not specifically an eBay problem.

or was this a private individual? Small claims court if it was. Or contact the liquidator this might require a bit of effort to get your money back.

i thought it was a private individual (thefisherclan) but when they sent me the booking is said blue sky lettings so now i'm not sure

blue sky lettings appear to be still trading..this sounds a bit suspicious OP, how did you actually fund your paypal payment.

soolin

OP do you want me to move this across to the holiday board? Someone there might be able to do some digging.

supermum4

yes please if you don't mind. cheers

soolin

Sorry we couldn't help here, but the time limit for paypal claims is rigid and can't be moved but hopefully someone on the holiday board can help.
