    Paypal will more than likely want you to take it up with Ebay and the seller in that situation. Paypal doesn't like to refund money. I once had someone hack my account and spend $1000 in one day. Paypal then refused my claims of fraudulence, claiming the purchases were normal to my activity. Nevermind the fact it was $1000, to stores I've never bought from, and shipped to an entirely different state.

    Basically, if you have any doubts this $800 item is authentic, you'd be better to not buy it.

    Sorry to ask here but not wanting to start a new thread. Preordered ft thomas through aliexpress and seemed legit. Seller had 5 left. Preordered. Next day he had 98 left. Seems super scammy so I asked for a refund. This was Friday. If I make a claim with PayPal will my refund be quick considering nothing was mailed?

    I am guessing you know ft Thomas isn’t due out until (possibly) October. If the seller has some type of window for shipment, you may be sol until that date has passed, unless the seller comes down with a bunch of negative feedback.

    Yes I do. I requested the refund under the pretense that its not the final price. Just got notice from PayPal that I will get the money back. No small time store is gonna get over 100 ft figures so yeah I figured it was a scam
