Should I pursue the ebay vendor or just let it go?

I bought a SE C905 mobile on ebay UK last August. It works everywhere except the UK. I posted this thread about the whole story one month ago and found out that the phone was reported lost or stolen before it was put up on ebay. The original provider, Orange UK, will not lift the block. I am in the North a lot lately and…

I bought a SE C905 mobile on ebay UK last August. It works everywhere except the UK. I posted this thread about the whole story one month ago and found out that the phone was reported lost or stolen before it was put up on ebay. The original provider, Orange UK, will not lift the block. I am in the North a lot lately and can't use the phone while up there. I didn't intend doing anything about it until I thought to myself recently: why should I put up with this..the phone cost nearly 200 quid at the time.

So I found the vendor though my ebay feedback and emailed her yesterday. I didn't demand anything and was very polite...I just told het the whole story and said I felt hard done by. She replied today apologising and said it was her daughter who used her ebay account and is now in Thailand. Nothing more.

My question is should I pursue this more vigorously? How would ebay likely deal with this situation, considering it is 9 months since the sale? Or should I just forget about it? I am intersted in what others think of all this.

Thanks.

There's nothing you can do about it now, you can only open a paypal/ebay dispute within 3 months of the sale.

After 9 months, eBay probably won't entertain any sort of request.
