This morning I bought a Hoover WindTunnel 3 Pro UH70901RM vacuum off eBay for $12.99 listed as refurbished. I wake up today to an eMail from eBay saying that the listing was removed and the seller was deleted because it was a compromised account. Someone evidently goes around hacking dead eBay accounts that have been on the site since 1999/2000 and is using them to list fake products.
Now my payment I made is stuck on "processing" and I can't resolve an issue to cancel the sale because the seller doesn't exist anymore on the site due to eBay deleting it. So yeah, I am stuck now in limbo and I am sad because I thought it was a legit sale too.

I've actually dealt with this myself many times over the 10+ years that I've been on eBay. Just contact eBay or paypal and tell them the situation and they should issue you a refund within a few days. |

I had that situation this past summer when I thought I'd bought seasons 1-6 of Game of Thrones on DVD for $15. Almost immediately, the seller started amassing a phenomenal amount of negative feedback and eBay steadfastly refused to acknowledge the obvious, issuing obnoxious "your item is on its way" messages whenever I tried to open a case This went on until the seller's feedback fell well into the negative numbers, which I have never seen before or since. Only then did they delete the seller's account and make it possible for me to seek a refund.

I had this happen last week on a Dyson v6 handheld. Just thankful that eBay is watching the scammers. And maybe I shouldn't drink and bid, honestly one feedback. |
