Interestingly, when I just checked the availability of the A5 on Aliexpress, it showed slightly fewer of the phones sold on the seller's page than it was registering previously.
My guess would be that some other people have also launched disputes and have had their money refunded.
As it happens, the seller now has less than two days to respond to my dispute. If the seller does not respond within the stipulated time period, then the transaction will automatically be cancelled and I will be refunded.
It seems that the seller is just letting the time run out. Disappointing, but at least I am unlikely to be out of pocket.
I may just wait until the device becomes available on the CECT Shop.
