ebay
Gday fishwrecked.
Just a word of warning about purchasing on eBay.
I put a largish order in for rod holders,squid jigs, hooks,a fishing shirt for my wife etc.
Got a postie note saying collect your package from the post office, ok so wife goes, signs for the package and brings it home. I opened it to find a small skirted lure that I dont remember ordering. Anyway another "late night" ebay purchase i presume.
Weeks go by and I ask the seller where's my order?. They reply you have it you signed for it. Ive sent 100 messages explaining my wife signed for a little lure that I didn't order and have sent photos in etc.
Point of the story is they sent a tiny item to get the postal tracking signed for and have not sent the real items. The return i opened on eBay has now closed.
Buyer beware.
Cheers anypuddle.

if you paid by paypal or
if you paid by paypal or credit card you should have recourse - credit card is easier - lodge a claim with your bank - goods not as described

deal with ebay
best way is to dispute it with paypal, then esculate it to ebay. ebay will have the purchase info, and pursue the seller.
i had an issue with a damge product, and after repeated bad dealings with the seller, contacted ebay. they ended up calling me (an american guy, not indian!), and discussed the matter, and he refunded the money in a metter of minutes. he also blacklisted the seller, for breaching conduct.
very impressed with how they handle it, but I will acknowledge it was hard to actually lodge a claim.

pelagic is correct
if you bought via credit card... then it's easy to prove that goods ordered not received, and credit card provider will credit you and even maybe back charge merchant.

Use paypal
The couple of times I've been ripped off (and it's a couple in literally 100's of buys), you just raise a dispute with Paypal and your money will be refunded

tackledirect168
Appreciate your replys and advise. Please keep them coming.
I am having problems because i dealt will the seller for 2 long before starting a dispute. So if the seller spins you along for 30 days your no longer Garenteed by ebay.Plus they do have the signed delivery receipt that my wife signed. they just use that to cancel any appeal.
How do I go through my credit card to lodge aappeal?
I just hope its an honest mistake, has any one bought from tackledirect168 before ?
f it deliberate I will continue to chase it up.

As others have said i would
As others have said i would definetly lodge a paypal dispute. Paypal is setup to almost always be in favour of the buyer and if you lodge a dispute they will debit the sellers account straight away until it is resolved.

Credit Card dispute
Your credit card provider will likely want a letter outlining the goods, copy of invoice and your efforts to get the seller to make things right, I've actually had a good outcome getting refunded for gear that didnt turn up.
