Refund Pending

Bought something on eBay. It seemed too cheap and a new seller.

Got message from eBay saying seller has cancelled and that I haven't paid.

 

Looks like seller cancelled and issued a refund but refund is "Pending" at Paypal.

 

Something doesn't seem right and I'm expecting refund to fail?

 

Anyone have experience of this?

How long ago was this? they say refunds are normally pending for around 5-7 days, but sometimes longer, i've had a refund pending for 2 weeks before. not sure why this happens, but it seem there is always quite a wait. you will get your money back eventually though.

Thank you for the reply. It's only a few days and not a lot of money. It was just that a lot of things didn't add up. No communication with seller, new seller, item too cheap. I just wondered wether there was some kind of scam that I wasn't aware of.

it may not be a scam, but even if it is, ebay and paypal have you well protected. i once bought an item from a shop who took my money, didnt ship, then they dissapeared from ebay. total scam..  I still got my refund though. so, i wouldnt worry. and they may not be a scam, we were all new shops at one point, everyone starts somewhere.
