Hi i am in the same situation, I’ve tried everything I even have messages to say I would be getting a refund from the seller now I’m blocked. Did you have any luck at all?

I was scammed too, by ‘Charlie <removed>’, shame there’s no way of PayPal tracking these scammers. I have contacted the bank & they may refund after 12 days. They don’t have to but worth a try.

Hi @Barney2021 this is unrelated to you recent post, but did you ever receive your purchase from PurseKelly.net? I’m looking at a bag myself and doing some research first and your question came up. How long did it take to receive? We’re you happy with the quality? I hope this wasn’t a scam and you received your bag!

 

Kind regards 😁

Hi,

We are sorry that this happened to you. In this situation we don't offer buyer protection for payments that were sent as family and friends as they're not intended to buy products. Can you please continue working with the recipient?
