Basically, saw Lenovo 920 at $219 free shipping, highest specs you can have on the Lenovo 920, 1TB, i7 8550U, 4k touchscreen etc.

Purchased two laptops and money was taken out of bank, then like 2 hours later eBay emailed this.

Will I be about to get my money back?

      • Wiede on 21/07/2018 - 09:12

        … I came onto the website to get help

          You paid $219 for a laptop that has a retail price for about $2,000… the help you need may even be beyond this website if you couldn’t see that was a scam.

          If you had have read this site, you would have known it was a scam. Basically negating the need to post this as a question….

          Can’t wait for your next post…

        He didn't even try to post the deal when he found the "bargain".

    • hogwarts on 20/07/2018 - 21:21

      Not all 14 year olds are like that.

    Put in claim via PayPal

    • FattyHope on 20/07/2018 - 19:18

      Okay, thanks I’ll try that

    Doesnt this answer itself ? or is this somehow confusing

    • FattyHope on 20/07/2018 - 20:08

      I just wanted to see if people had experience from this and how I should solve it

        Contact Payment Service to Request A Refund

    eBay advised you to contact the payment service……..better jump on Ozbargain and find out what to do.

  • EightImmortals on 20/07/2018 - 19:54

    I had a guy yesterday call me with the same email. Looks legit and when we went into his PP account the payment was in 'pending' so I suspect it will drop off by itself.

  • Ocker on 20/07/2018 - 19:54

    You say the " money was taken out of bank,"?

    If it was actually taken from your bank account vis-a-vis any other payment form then I am assuming you used PayPal. In which case PayPal will treat the payment as an e-cheque and not release payment to the seller for 3-5 days - plenty of time to challenge the transaction.

    • FattyHope on 20/07/2018 - 20:10

      Okay thank you

    A $2,000+ laptop for $200… And you got two….

    What did you think was going to happen?

    same scenario happened to me couple weeks before, paypal automatically gave the money back after couple of days

    Got the same notification when a Samsung S8 phone that was listed cheaply that turned out to be a false listing via a hacked Seller account. Refund was made by Paypal fairly swiftly.
