I won an auction for a iphone/ipad av adapter a while back. Basically a plug to hook up your ipad/iphone to a TV screen. I paid immediately and kind of forgot about it until today. So I quickly look up the auction and realized it was over a month ago. Not only that but when I click to enter the transaction Ebay gives me a notice saying the seller's account has been suspended.
I go to paypal to file a dispute but I know paypal has a cut off date and, while I wasn't positive, I had a feeling it was a month. I go to look up the transaction on paypal, and just as I had feared, it wasn't there. Last one listed was a little less than a month ago. So I go back to ebay and go through dispute process. After I'm done it gives me a message basically saying they will contact the seller and it would take a few days. Well seeing as they suspended his account I'm pretty sure I know how that is going to go. But I guess I have to wait a few days to find out. Fast forward a couple of hours later and I get an email saying they ruled in my favor and issued a full refund. Under comments they put "After reviewing the seller's recent activity, we decided to expedite your refund." Needless to say I was pretty happy and feel more confident about using Ebay. So much so that I bought some extra batteries for my mini quadcopter and promptly used the entire refund
