As a conclusion to my dealing with midwestfan: I finally got the two bats. I kept sending an email to the seller every 2 or 3 days, just trying to get a response. He wrote back out of the blue 3 days ago and said my emails had been getting blocked by his spam, so he didn't know the refund hadn't gone through.

He mailed the bats fedex on Mon, and I got them today (wed), so at least I got what I wanted, albeit a month or so late.
