I don't know if this is the correct section, but I think I've seen a similar thread posted here.

So, I ordered an item from a seller on s2ki. I paid $100 on 3-24-09, and $275 on 3-26-09. He said he would ship it out within 1.5-2.5 weeks. He has had some personal problems in his life come up, and so he hasn't been able to ship the item. His brother has PMd me from his account (In early April) and said it is all boxed and ready to go and everything.

I asked for an update after it had been more than 2 weeks since I received the PM from his brother, "hey i need an update on this, either an ETA of when it will be shipped or a refund. been 2 weeks with no word..."

So the last PM I got from the seller was on May 1, 2009 after I opened a PayPal dispute, explains a little more about the personal problems and says "i will send you the ****in money so dont **** with me im not in the mood for some punk kid."

It's been almost 2 months from when I sent the payments, and I think if I wait too much longer I won't be able to just get the money back through my credit card company.

Would I be out of line in contacting the credit card company to get that money back?
