Send the item back using some form of online delivery like USPS tracking. If the item is more than $250 make sure you purchase Signature Confirmation.

 

Once the item is received by the seller then you should receive a refund.

If reason for return is item not as described AND it is almost the 45-day limit,

I would suggest the opening of an item not as described case before returning the item.   The case can always be closed with no adverse mark for Seller if Seller refunds money after receipt of return.  

 

All the best!
