Help with recovering wallet using MNEMONIC SEED

[MisteredF]

A seller (who has since disappeared) claims he sent me a refund and in his PM to me he wrote:

xxxxx xxxxx room inherit cousin confirm xxxx xxxx xxxx  xxxxxxx xxxxxxx   etc etc etc (words obviously replaced)
That is the mnemonic seed for a bitcoin wallet where I have forwarded your refund, it will still be in confirmation when you read this.

I have no clue on how or where to access these funds.  It's a small amount but I'd like to get it if possible.  I have only used COINBASE and I see no place to use this there for any kind of wallet recovery.  Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

You could try this https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/recover

I just know that COINBASE never gives out private keys from wallets

It could be an electrum wallet seed.  Something to check.

If you really want your funds you'll have to try a bunch of wallets that uses seed recovery.
Seller might have just faked it too, keep that in mind. Although I feel like he just forgot to mention what wallet he was using himself.

How many words are in the mnemonic? Different mnemonic schemes will have different mnemonic lengths.

There are really only two possibilities here. You could either have an Electrum mnemonic, or a BIP 39 mnemonic. You should try restoring the wallet with Electrum and MultiBit HD.

12 words.  I will try the 2 you suggested.  Wouldn't be the first time I was scammed (or the last).

Thanks!  It was Electrum.  Now I can retire on the $8 he sent me.

Thought it might be.

Hopefully by "retire" you mean spend or move to a new address 😀
