Yes after my last post I thankfully got an email, inviting me to resend photos of the wrong motor, so I'm just being as nice as I can with the seller and hoping they feel really embarassed and want to help me. Thanks for your encouragement. Agreed re giving in, I just don't think I'd have spent a penny of that cash were it not for being promised that specific motor.What a bummer Jon , have you emailed the Chinese co yet? With pay pal you still have to use a credit card try speaking to the card co as well. Don't give in and except some inferior cheaper kit.
That's a good point about credit card. In my experience cc providers try to say "oh whatever the service provider's (paypal's) terms are we hold you to them, even if they can be struck out for unfairness or whatever reason". I think that can be got around, but not until until paypal refuse to honour their guarantee AND a small claims judge declares the refusal some form of breach of contract (and it would probably be easier at that point just to ask the judge to hold paypal liable for the amount of the refund). Sometimes of course the cc provider sees sense much quicker (usually with straight goods purchases which they understand better). Fingers crossed the seller will come through though.
