    Oh, near me too!

    OP. The seller may win a dispute but only initially. You need to add clearly that the delivery shows SALTASH and you are in WHATEVERTOWN. Highlight it as big as you can.

    Do NOT go for an ebay dispute, ensure it is a Paypal dispute, you should be able to open it much sooner.

    Cornwall or Devon side?

    I still wonder whether the OP has actually contacted the seller about being given the wrong tracking number.
    If a dispute can't be open yet then it presumably isn't considered to be late, so it could just be that the seller has sent the wrong customer tracking info.

    £120 item from China would've attracted Import duty, which RM usually collect so if you've not had any contact from RM and the items are definitely coming from China that's something else you could point out in any dispute you raise.

    The first 2 letters are FH

    When I try to open a paypal dispute, they direct me to ebay to open a INR.

    What has the seller said about sending you the wrong tracking info?

    It could be a complete mistake & they've just sent you the wrong tracking. How long ago did you contact them?
