Legit email from paypal? Refunded after buying 3DS

[Zetta_x]

I went to buy a gateway compatible 3ds on ebay and it was canceled and this message was sent to me (names removed)
--
ebay has canceled the sale of the 3ds cosmo black handheld system, mint condition. I am not sure why but. I think it was because I had gateway in the title. I am not sure why they did not issue a refund to you through paypal. but will do this soon. I will be relisting this 3ds soon if you are still interested. I will be listing it without gateway in the title but it still will be the same system. I have sold several systems with gateway and without gateway in the title. I am sorry for the issue. i would love to do your business again.

Shortly after I got this message and not sure if it is legit or not (I heard paypal refund can take up to weeks

The reason why I ask is because I am going to buy from the same seller under the assumption that what was said was legit.

I can imagine a scenario where this email is fake. I will not get my money back and buying more can only lead to more problems.

Well have you checked your Paypal to see if the money was refunded?

Looking at the header and comparing it to legit ones, it appears to be from Paypal.

I assume you've checked your Paypal account to see if the monies were paid for the item/s.

If i was in your position, i would probably give Paypal a call to confirm email received.

 

[Zetta_x]

Absolutely.

Unfortunately I checked out as guest. I did not have a paypal account or ebay account so I have no way of verifying if it was refunded only based on this email. I had a similar situation with an Ipod touch and it took 3 weeks to get the money back. I will actually register to ebay and paypal so at least I can keep track of what's going on! Paid with a credit card.

Thanks everyone.

You paid with a Credit Card, then you should be covered by your Card supplier, any problems with the transaction then give your card supplier a call and they'll deal with it.

Great! Sounds good. I don't necessarily need the money back right away. But I am confident (at least from what has been said in this thread) that eventually I will get my money back from paypal or by my credit vendor.

Plus the ebay account is 14.5 years old with an amazing rating (and sells a number of things that is not gaming related). If this seller is able to successfully spoof a paypal message and participate in this type of scamming, I doubt they would do it using this account.
