ebay item not received

I won an item on ebay on 16 march, the said item stated 2nd class recorded, & so far the item hasn`t turned up, so I spoke to my postie, who is fab I have to add, to ask if he recalls anything recorded coming to me, & I wasn`t around when he tried to deliver, he said no, I have contacted my local sorting office, just incase & they have no record of anything being held at the sorting office, so I have contacted the seller to say , can you confirm that you have sent the item yet, as I hadn`t recieved it... No reply, that was two days ago, now I am new to this, do I wait or do I contact or what I do????


Many thanks for your help in advance.

    Ok, this is interesting, I have just logged onto ebay & the seller has left positive feedback for me, even after I have made contact & told them I haven`t recieved the book.... which way do you think I should go??

    Many thanks

    Go into paypal and into dispute centre. Call up the payment an dopen a dispute..not a chargeback at this point. The disput eprocess is a way of corresponding with your seller through paypal safely, if they don't respond to that in a day or so then escalate the dispute to a chargeback.

    update, seller has just come back to me & says that she can`t understand why I haven`t recieved my book, however I need to wait 15 days before she ca track it with royal mail, to be fair once its posted its out of her hands....
