How long until I can get refund on an obvious scam?
Hello, I made the mistake of purchasing a suspiciously good deal on a PS5. After I bought it, the seller immediately marked it as shipped without tracking (contacted him for one, but no response), and also listed the PS5 again and asked for cash app/Venmo payment in the title... (PS5 was listed for 180 + 77.80 shipping)
His profile said he had sold 5 items and had no negative feedback so I thought it would be okay and now it says he has sold 9 items... When can I start to get my refund on this/start the process? Do I have to wait out the period of the expected arrival date of the package until I can do anything? Having trouble finding any support until the package doesn't come etc.

·2 years agoYou did pay through eBay and not a cash app? As stated you can file a case one day past the last given delivery date. That assumes the fake tracking number scan has not been used. If tracking shows it was delivered, do NOT file an item not received case. You will lose. You have to file an item not as described case. Before doing so, come back here and explain. We can help you with it.
Stay away from those too good to be true listings. They always are.

OP2 years agoYes, it was all through eBay. Thank you for the advice!
I'll follow up if that is the case. Curiosity got the best of me but definitely the first and last time I try one of these posts.

·2 years agoIf you didn't pay for the item through ebay payments and just 'venmo'd' the seller, nothing can be done from this site (or probably anywhere)
If you paid through ebay, you can open a 'Not Received' 1 day after the Last estimated delivery dates (what dates are shown??)

·2 years agoA day after the estimated delivery date Ebay gave you, open an Item Not Received case.
Go to your purchase history and click I didn't get it in the menu next to the item.
The seller will have 3 days to provide a tracking number showing it was delivered or refund.
If they don't, return to the case on day 4 and ask Ebay to step in.
