Issue with Ebay seller

[Sir Asvald]

This is an ongoing problem. I ordered a Cisco ASA 5505 from this person. The package somehow got lost, so the seller told me to request a refund so he can send me another one. Which happened, I got my second item delivered. Now, the first package that I bought came 3 weeks after I paid for it. I contacted the seller telling that I have the package and he was happy that I told him. He was willing to pay for me to send it back.. which is what I did. He requested a 1st class delivery with Royal Mail. I sent the package on Friday. 

 

Now he has sent me a message claiming that the package didn't arrive and he wanted the package to be tracked, which he didn't ask for.. what shall I do?

This does sound a little dodgy however if you still have one of the 5505s and only paid once, there shouldn't be a big issue. 

What did you send the package with? If its royal mail, do you still have the receipt for posting it? The receipt has the destination house number and post code stated on it so as long as you have the receipt, there's not very much the seller can do as you can prove you've sent something to his address.

He messaged me back. The package did get delivered. He didn't wait long enough.

because you get 2 for the price of 1 (there is cases where I won't but still)

In the future, always use return shipping with tracking - especially if the item is worth more than a few dollars. That way they cannot scam you by saying it never arrived.
