Has my money returned ? Unclear

[lizard821000]

Hi folks , so I bought a Xbox off what looked Like a good guy, he sent me an invoice .... I paid it He then went very quiet for 3 days no response to my messages etc , so I opened a dispute on PayPal , this morning I noticed a refund was issued dated the same date as the payment I first made!? I clicked it and it says “partial refund” but is the full amount !? It’s not been long enough yet to show up in my actual bank account yet to weather the money’s been taken and refunded ..... just the refund invoice I have seems very unclear if it’s a true refund ? And why is it dated the same date as the original invoice payment ? I can’t cancel an invoice payment right! Only the seller has the power to cancel that transaction or give a Refund right!? I’m just wondering what the scam could be if he’s Took the money but then instantly refunded it too? Any help please Shaun

Hi @lizard821000, you may please refer to this link to check the status of the refund or if it is already refunded back to you. If you open a dispute please leave it as it is. If we see the refund it will automatically close but make sure the keep an eye on your email for any updates PayPal will provide about the dispute. https://www.paypal.com/uk/smarthelp/article/where-is-my-refund-faq1212 Thank you.
