How do I find the item number on a ebay item?

I bought an item from a seller on ebay, never received it and got a full refund from ebay?

• they gave me a refund because the seller stop responding to my emails. i asked him for a tracking number and when he sent it to me, but he wouldn't respond, i asked him if he ever even sent it and then for a refund if he didn't. he also became an unregistered user on ebay. ebay gave me a refund after 20 days. the item JUST arrived. and i already got my refund from ebay - NOT the seller. the post office said it would be 30 dollars to return the item to the seller, i didn't really want it because it was supposed to be a gift. but bc of shipping, i decided to keep it. i contacted the seller, he still hasn't responded and its been two days. do you think ebay will find out that i got my item and take their money back? after all, they kinda owed me (well, the seller did) for having it sent to me now when it was supposed to arrive on jan 7th.

• Answer:

  Ok, if he stopped responding to your emails, that's the sellers fault. He had time to respond BEFORE his money was taken back. If you had gotten an item before it was disputed, and wanted to return it, most sellers and/or paypal would require that you pay the return shipping, but then the seller would have to refund your full charges. I think it should work the same with sellers, when they act irresponsibly, they have to pay the consequences. When did he ship it? I would email him, say "I received it, and it's $30 to return it". You acted in good faith the first time around, it's not up to you to re pay for it. The seller may just tell you to keep it, if he does respond he should pay for the return shipping. Chances are he won't even respond, at which point it's not up to YOU to repay for it. Paypal will not make you repay, even if the seller contacts them and says you received it. If you don't need it anymore, as you bought another gift, I would tell the seller that. But HE pays the return shipping. He didn't get NARU'd because of just your claim, chances are he's had many, many violations. But you should at least attempt to contact him and offer to send it back, at his expense. And for the people that say "you should have refused it", I order from ebay all the tiem, and when I get a package, I usually have no idea what's in it until I open it. I also sell, and I know the very least a seller can do is respond to emails, 99% of the time I've had no problems. Oh, and make him pay the return shipping BEFORE you send it back, and send it with tracking/delivery confirmation.
