Thank you Tias Treasure and also Suesjools. I will start the ball rolling and see what happens. I was reasonably ok and having to wait a while for the item, but I just feel so taken in, that it has really annoyed me that he can be so blatant. All his replies to my mail have been polite etc, but even so in the latest one sent last night he know says and I quote:
"Another thing I want to explain is that I post your item to my local post office, and then your item should be sent to international air port in capital city, pass the custom Check, then your item will be shipped to your country. That's why you find that your item is not shipped until 7th"
Having made the purchase on 27th November, site says despatch within 24 hours, and he told me it was sent on Wedsnesday 1st December!
Once again thanks for all the help
