With the mail sooooooo slooooooooow a sale on eBay many times gets delivered After buyer could file item not received. I have one sent out and one coming my way in this boat. If the guy who bought my item files and I have to refund then item is delivered how do I get paid ? BTW I’m giving my seller until a deadline to file before I would.

Hope the guy isn't a jerk.
Most of the time as long as tracking is uploaded ebay will not force a return if the item is still in transit.
Should be able to get eBay to pause the return/item not received for an extra period of time if you call them.
Second option is you can always do something called Package Intercept if its USPS which I believe there's about a $15 fee but it will stop delivery and reroute the package back to you.
Vast majority of people are very understanding though so a message to them that you're watching it and ask for their patience goes a long ways
Ebay will Not enforce as long as there is movement on the tracking number
The current mail situation is quite erratic...due in large part to the reduced air travel. I have had an item arrive in four days from the West coast...and another from two states south that took two weeks. Both had tracking. Cheers, RickO
Good to hear ebay will not enforce as long as active tracking.
The delay between time filed and ebay deadline for making refund usually provides adequate time to know whether or not delivery will be/has been made.
Don't know about ebay but all discussion with paypal has to be thru their chat/messaging. Just complete resolve a PP problem, worked out OK, not as quick as a phone discussion.

I've had some that have been dead for 2 weeks or more! So far so good though......KNOCK ON WOOD
I just went through this ... After 2 wks past due ... I was given a full refund ... 10 days after the refund ... the item showed up. I contacted the seller and paid him. He was very happy and left it in his feed back for me ... and I left excellent feed back for him too.
I had a recent coin sold and shipped to Detroit and took 29 days.... it sat in Detroit for over 2 weeks without moving.

the longest i had a package out the last 6 months was 8 days, the buyer never questioned anything, it really helps to have 100 percent feedback and thousands of feedbacks on your side. i started shipping packages priority mail about 3 weeks ago and it now gets there in 4 days instead of 5
How did you pay him ? There isn’t a button that says pay seller for closed case. I was the buyer in a similar situation and the only way I could figure out to pay the guy was to send him my email in code ( ignore ##’s myname###AT comcast###dotnet) since eBay doesn’t let you send email address. It worked and he sent me a PayPal invoice.
Thanks,

The seller asked me to put the money in his PayPal account .... so.....
I used his email address at paypal to deposit the money into his paypay account. No invoice. And it was over.
Just like if you bought something on Craigslist and paid with paypal.

As for my post ... it was 14 work days ( 3wks ) of waiting.
I would think that's exercising patience wouldn't you?
You should still have his paypal address if you logged into your Paypal. Otherwise there's not an option on eBay, probably would have to have original seller relist it then you buy it.
If a tracked item is hung up and not moving, you can file a trace through the USPS site. The form includes a choice (paraphrase) "when found, should the item A) be delivered to the addressee, or
returned to the sender".
I recently had eBay pay two buyers when tracked shipments got hung up -- both were known to me and paid me when the items finally were delivered.
