What does this mean ?

I brought something off ebay on the 13th december and payed through ebay, well i still havent recieved this, ive emailed the seller all he keeps saying is too wait a bit longer as theres is delays with the post because off the snow etc, well i havent had any trouble still getting post as normal. Well i finally had enough and opened a dispute with payal which it was in my favour and was refunded the money. Well now the seller has now put a appeal in with paypal what does this mean ? The parcel was sent 2nd class post not recorded or special.

    If seller can't prove delivery then am appeal won't do him a single bit of good apart from make him look a but dim.

    Just keep an eye on paypal though just in case (I don't trust them!)

    I don't think the appeal will stand. This seller has chosen to save a bit of money by posting via non-recorded, that is the risk he has taken and he's probably going to have to accept that had he used recorded delivery he might not have lost out (assuming he did actually post the item).

    Your seller has no proof of delivery. That's where his appeal ends with Paypal.

    If your seller has priof of posting (which is sounds like he/she doesn't), then they can try to claim 100 x cost of a First Class Stamp from the Post Office.
