quick tl;dr
>buy items
>they get shipped
>20 days, contact seller asking where they are; "Just wait another week!"
>31 days later I still don't have them, open dispute for each item; seller offers me refund OR new items, but only replies to one of the disputes.
>I ask for the items
>he sends me this message
What I'm concerned about: There is apparently a time limit on an open dispute on ebay. If I wait another 15-20 days I think the dispute automatically closes and ebay assumes it was worked out.
So how do I ensure I don't get fucked over if this guy didn't actually send his items like he promised?
For starters, he only replied to one of the open disputes, so the other one is just sitting there. I might only receive one item, not both.
Secondly, I really don't like the fact he's once again shipping using the same slow-ass no-tracking method he did the first time.
Should I just cut it here and ask an ebay rep to step in?

That's what he is banking on. He has been jerking you around for too long. Go nuclear.

Agreed. You can get Paypal/credit card company/whatever involved too if Ebay doesn't help, but they usually do.

How does that work with paypal?
I've never tried to get a credit company involved in a dispute of charges before and I don't know how to approach it.

Start by getting Ebay involved before you do this, what this Anon suggested is the nuclear option of all nuclear options, it can help, but will probably piss Ebay off. Of course if Ebay turns out to be useless, push the red button.

you should easily be able to fuck him over. Ebay is so in favor for the buyers I'm honestly surprised people sell on ebay these days. You should just contact ebay.

Update:
Ebay gave me a refund within literally about 5 minutes of escalating to them. Kind of surprised by that. Apparently he didn't provide any valid tracking data to ebay either; I think someone agreed that I was dealing with a scam.
