Bought an item and immediately after the sellers account was terminated. What should I do?

[trewhit2]

I bought a pair of wireless earbuds from a seller originally listed in China. They were at a significantly lower price than the same item from a different seller and I was slightly wary from the beginning. I ended up buying the item (I12 TWS earbuds) regardless, though immediately after I bought it the sellers account was terminated. I really want this item and the price was directly in my price range. What should I do?

If you have already been refunded by ebay you can find the item and purchase it from a different seller. If you haven`t yet been refunded, come back to this thread and let us know.

I`m assuming ebay has contacted you?

Wait to see if it arrives. Hold out as long as you can until the last day you are able to file for an item not received. If it comes to that you will get your money back. I believe Paypal allows 180 days. Ebay's is much shorter so I'd go with Paypal if you REALLY want the item at that price. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry for a poor transaction.  You might want to adjust your buying habits.

Too good to be true can be just that.  

Buyer Protection is great; your money is protected.

Just remember this: You get what you pay for.

Although the price from a Chinese seller may be greatly lower than the others, the quality is usually much much worse. 

I have bought from China inadvertently (seller was listed as US based) and when the item arrived it was postmarked from China and was dime store junk that was tossed in the trash.

The cost to return something to China can be 10x the cost of the item.

I will say again, you get what you pay for
