Advertised for $7 - charged $999 AFTER checking out

I had selected a product 2x lithium batteries and placed it in my cart for a week. Changed quantity to 2 of the item, total product as per cart was $15 + free postage. Checked out using PayPal.

Checking my bank balance today I have been charged $1898.10!!! I was extremely confused and went back to the listing which has been updated to the price of $999 for 2x lithium batteries! (Double checked to ensure I didn’t buy 2 pallets worth for their price 😑)

Is this even possible to happen? Is it likely that the seller has been hacked? I have contacted the seller to advise not to post the item and to issue a refund ASAP as I won’t be buying two single batteries for $2k but no response, I have also lodged a PayPal claim.

Is there anything else I can do? And has anyone else experienced this?
