Yeah, I guess my mistake was to pay with Paypal with money directly pulled from my bank account. Ugh. Ebay owned paypal for 13 years and spun them off a few years ago, but they still seem to be in bed together.
File a Paypal dispute, this is separate from dispusting on ebay
Funny enough, Paypal even tells you not to dispute on ebay
>2. Your order never arrives.
>All you have to do is log in to your account and open a dispute to get the refund process started. If you made the purchase on eBay, start here instead.
Update: the postmaster in my small town sent me the USPS internal documentation proving the item weighed only 1 oz and went to a totally different address. So either the seller or shipper are committing fraud probably. The seller has not replied to any messages. eBay closed both my dispute and appeal within minutes of opening them. I guess we will see what PayPal does, but I don't have much hope as they are in bed together.
