I ordered an xbox game waaay back through amazons market place,
I didn't receive the item by the predicted date so I followed the process, used a prefilled form to ask where it was, the seller responded that he was a little late in sending it and his post office was small, could I leave it a few days?
Being reasonable and a grown up (even if I was buying a computer game) I felt that was ok, left it about 5 days but it still hadn't come. So I sent another message to which I had no response, so after two weeks with no response I perused Amazon for a refund which they honored.

Then about 3 months later I had a message from the seller saying that he needed to be paid.
In my mind I owe nothing, I didn't get the item and amazon refunded the money.

So am I all good? And this guy, presumably if he ever did send the item he can claim back through the lost post? Or am I likely to get progressive messages from him for goods I don't have?

YOU, it appears followed the correct procedure. The seller apparently didn't, so respond with the facts, and if the seller becomes a nuisance, then advise Amazon.

I would pass the whole matter on to Amazon, in my experience with Amazon, they are pretty good at dealing with this stuff.
From what you written you owe him zip.

If he does send the item, just send it back not signed for. Otherwise don't worry about it, hewould have to go through Amazon himself and not through you.

I assume he contacted you via Amazon messages? if so report it - so many crappy sellers recruited by Amazon in the last 5 months its dragging the quality down.
