How would I be able to claim a partial refund for an item??

Bought an item 2 weeks ago today, paid as soon as auction ended. It's a buggy so emailed the seller with address that is my parents (paypal verified). Listing states first class delivery 1 working day.

I know this does not mean you will get it a day later, it means the day after it is posted. Had reply saying 'ok thanks'. Had not received it by last sat so emailed seller. They said they had not sent it but would 'sort it'. Still nothing, today after emailing them again they said they have sent it (no reply when I then asked for tracking number to see when sent so when should get here)

If I open a item not received dispute, would part of that process mean I may get a part refund on postage as 2 weeks I feel is unacceptable to pay 12.99 for first class delivery. Is there a better way could someone advise or is this not the right process at all??!! Thank you.

This sounds scarily like an earlier thread of several months ago when someone was scamming people by selling pushchairs.... hope it isnt the same person,,, dont want to scare you...............

Both of you, open disputes now!

carrie - open one for item not recieved, before the seller empties the account

vix - open one for not as described, you may get your money back

it is sellers duty to ensure you receive your item
File dispute now
I did this and got entire cost of transaction back including postage.
Good luck

Can anyone remember any of the details of the pushchair scam of a few months ago??? It went on over two threads so was a long running thing.
