I need help with how to word something.

I won an auction for some eggs that I really wanted, and I paid. I've not recieved the eggs, and now the person has the birds themselves for sale.

I had asked the seller about my eggs, and they said they were still getting eggs and would ship when they could fill my order. They also said they'd refund if they couldn't fill my order.

Well, the eggbid auction for the birds ends tomorrow - I think. I paid on March 2, and it was only for 6 eggs.

How do I politely request for my money to be refunded without sounding rude or without it coming off as harrassment?

Thanks.

Dear So and So.

It appears to me that you are liquidating your flock and I'm greatly concerned about the future opportunity of you being able to fulfill my order. So, would you be so kind as to refund my money so that I can search elsewhere immediately for the eggs that I need?

Thank you for your attention to my refund.

Sincerely,
one upset, not takin' anything laying down, hellion on wheels if you ever cross my path again.

"I am sorry, but when I placed the order for the eggs, I anticipated receiving them in a timely manner. Since you do not appear able to fulfill an order for which you have already been paid, I would like a refund of my $______ so that I will be free to place my order elsewhere."

They'll either cough up the dough or the eggs! Give them a deadline.

If you want to mess with them, state in small print below your signature that you have a cc (carbon copy) sent to your lawyer . . . whether or not you have one. Or maybe say you are cc'ing it to Judge Judy.

Dear__
Since the birds producing the eggs I've paid for will most likely be leaving your place on Monday, please ship my 6+ fresh eggs no later than Monday or refund my $____ through PayPal. If I have not received eggs or a refund by Wednesday, I'll have no other option but to place a complaint through PayPal.

I do hope we can resolve this quickly, and I wish you the best with your poultry endeavors.

Well, I messaged the seller and explained that I wasn't comfortable with the situation since they listed the birds for sale and I asked them to please refund my money.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Well, good news is they promptly issued a refund. Bad news is that refund is pending for 3-5 days.

At least they refunded. They did say the eggs would have been ready to ship next week, but with the sale of the birds themselves ending tomorrow, I'm not comfortable waiting for next week for eggs, either.

At least they refunded.
