    Also she will get a negative and a low star rating because she should be refunding me at this point instead of delaying. Not going to do this now as I want to get my money back first.
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    I had a similar problem on a small item ( value £1 ) which came from China. The seller refunded me but I agreed to pay again if the item arrived. The item arrived a couple of months later and I went on to pay pal and paid my quid. I had a lovely e - mail from the seller thanking me. When I sell on e - bay I keep a certificate of posting for every item, and on the odd occasion that I have had a problem the certificate has at least given the buyer confidence that they are dealing with a genuine seller.

    I think you are quite right to open a case against this seller, if for no other reason than poor communication. I recall there is a way to speed up the process - Its in your e - bay preferences -

    good luck
    If a man does not keep pace with his companions, then perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away. thoreau

    Thanks for your message. I've had a look but not sure what you mean, Also I opened the case through Paypal if that makes a difference?

    I can't recall how I speeded it up ( probably because of the 2 litres of strongbow ) but I will try tomorrow -
