Too much ebay automation with a seller and buyer who don't know much. Just explain to ebay what you just learned from the people here and get your money back. Start the case and move on

Auction ended & paid on July 2. The seller refusing to communicate & talk since July 2nd (Thursday last week), and the weekend is a busy 4th of July, I sent a return request. The message for ebay to get involved :
"We'll send you an email when the seller responds to your request. If you have not agreed on a solution or the seller has not responded by Jul 09, 2015, you can ask us to step in and help.
If you and your seller need more time to work things out, your request will stay open until Aug 17, 2015."
It's Monday now, she still refusing to communicate, didn't bother to confirm payment went through, last we spoke complained about not receiving payment, but will send item anyways... I bet. I have to wait til a few more days July 9 to ask ebay to step in.
If she was a good person with morals, she would have great communication & refund the money, NOT send the item out. Solve the problem right then & there.
I will tell the ebay rep, it is SND (Significantly not described) on July 9

You are wrong about eBay/PayPal today.
They usually side with buyers - as a result there are more buying scams than selling scams.
That Is the reason I have stopped selling on eBay.
The OP will get his money back but will take some time.
... speaks the voice of inexperience. This is so wrong I don't know where to start.
Is this thread ****ing serious? Look at the picture which clearly shows a MBP with an optical drive. Another pic shows an Ethernet port. Yeah, definitely not Retina!
Should've been a red flag NOT to purchase as Retina models do NOT have optical drives or Ethernet ports! Now you want your money back because of your stupidity? What a crock!
