email - bought item on ebay but never received it

0Hi,02br
00could you correct and improve this email? Context: my brother bought an item on ebay in March, but he hasn't received it yet. He opened a dispute (not sure it's the correct word choice ... he told me that's the name used on ebay, but I'm not sure ... are 01u00dispute02u00 and 01u00formal complaint02u00 appropriate here?), and soon after the seller contacted him and replied that he would have shipped the item soon. A month has passed, but the object has not arrived yet, so my brother wants to give the seller a warning and open a procedure to get his money back. Here's what I've written on his behalf: 01b02br
