It’s states my case is closed but I have not had a refund

If your case on eBay (UK) is marked as closed but you have not received your refund, it may be due to a few reasons. The case might have been resolved in the seller's favour, or the refund is still in process. Refunds typically appear in your PayPal account within 3-5 business days, but can sometimes take up to 30 days depending on the method of payment. If the seller issued the refund directly and you paid using a card, the refund might be pending with your card issuer. Always ensure you've checked all the possible avenues including your PayPal balance, original payment method, or even a credit directly to your PayPal account.

I am trying to contact the person I bought a vacuum from it's has been 48 hours since I messaged them but so far I have not had any response

We understand your concern. There could be a few reasons for this: the seller might be away, dealing with their own issues or simply taking time to respond. However, please remember that eBay encourages all sellers to respond within 48 hours, but it's not necessarily a requirement. If the seller still does not respond, and if you encounter any problems with your transaction, you can take additional steps by opening a case in our Resolution Centre. Keep in mind all communication between buyer and seller should remain within eBay for records and protection purposes.

No barcode or number received to pick up parcel that I can see has been delivered.

We're sorry for the confusion. Usually, when a parcel is delivered using eBay's delivery services, you should receive an email or in-app notification with either a barcode or a unique identifier number. This is typically required to collect your parcel from a local collection point if the delivery was not made directly to your home. We recommend double-checking your email, including the spam and junk folders, and looking through your eBay account notifications for this information. If you still can't find it, the delivery firm may be able to assist if you have the tracking number.

I have messaged the seller about a vacuum I bought but they have not got back to me

We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble getting a response from the seller. The standard response time for a seller on eBay is within 48 hours. If it has been longer than this, there could be several reasons. They might be temporarily unavailable or the message could have been missed. We recommend waiting a little longer. If there's still no reply, you can open a case in our Resolution Centre to help resolve the issue. Remember, eBay has a Money Back Guarantee that covers you in case there's anything wrong with your purchase.
