I ordered a rtx 2080 ti from a store called Etsy I paid 600 and some change but soon after I realized that it most likely was a scam, so I wanted to refund my money but when I went to ask for a refund the seller on the website, they deleted their profile making it impossible for me to contact them and when I tried to call the phone number provided it told me the number was no longer in use, I know the product won’t send and I’m scared I won’t get my money back, I opened a dispute but I was told I need to wait and see if I revive the product.

I don’t really understand PayPal that much but I used my credit card through PayPal and I opened a item not revived dispute because there isn’t many options and I wanted to do this quickly in fear of not being able to get my money back.

Thats fine then make sure you escalate the dispute to a claim before it times out 20 days post opening.

Make sure you have put in all the information you want to before escalating.

Once escalating you wait for paypal to review your claim.
