Well, I did get my money back-eventually. The seller gave me a $3 refund, then finally that last $4 after I still complained. The seller is not very happy and told me to never bid on his stuff again-but my dh and I wrote the seller name down the night before so we would be sure not to anyway! He still insists that he couldn't do a "refund" thru ebay and that now it has cost him more money bcs he has had to refund 3 times and he is out that money. He even relisted the item before this was all settled-and listed it with the correct measurement and listed it for a higher price!
I'm sure he will leave me neg FB-but oh, well-it will be a 1st for me.
