They gone silent and made no further contact. But as the courier was arranged by them, legally the yhad teh item back the moment courier picked it up. Whatever happenend to the item later (eg. got lost by the couriers etc.) bears no relevance to me.
In answer to your original question, whether there is a legally defined timescale for paying a refund, it's from that point that the 14 days technically starts to run.0 -

The fact they arranged the courier for the itmer return automatically implies that they did agree it.0 -

I don't think it implies anything other than that they are entitled to examine the goods to determine what the cause of failure is.
Had they agreed to refund before you sent the goods back?1
