How long does it take to get a refund after cancelling the purchase?
Summary: alvarorodrigu-37 reported purchasing iPads on eBay and canceling the order shortly afterward. Despite receiving an email confirmation that the order was canceled and that they would not be charged, $195.68 was deducted from their card. They seek advice on obtaining a refund or information on the typical timeframe for the money to be returned to their credit card.
Hello, I purchased some iPads on eBay. I cancelled the order just a minute after placing it; however, the system charged $195.68 to my card. I subsequently received an email from eBay stating that the order was cancelled and I would not be charged, but—as I mentioned—the charge did go through, and three days have passed without the money being returned to my account. Please, I would like a refund, or—failing that—could you tell me how long it takes for the money to be returned to my credit card?

Mentor3 weeks ago@alvarorodrigu-37 Keep in mind when shopping that buyers can only REQUEST to cancel, the seller can accept or decline so be sure you want an item before you commit to the purchase.
If eBay sent a message saying you were being refunded it can take about 7 business days.
