Scammed for $2000 4090

[jerrycatf0707]

Hi,

I bought an RTX 4090 from a user for $2000 AUD and the seller hasn't responded nor sent the items for 3 days already. At first, he was pretty nice and was telling the reason he sold his card and stuff but as soon as I made the payment, he was silent since. The original listing was an auction but doesn't allow offer, I was asking him if I can offer $2400 (with $400 through PayID and $2000 through Afterpay due to Afterpay limits) and he accepted it and relisted the item.

Upon looking at his profile, I can only see that he is rated 100% as a buyer and hasn't sold anything. And I also saw that his listing has the exact same picture as another guy: 
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4090 WINDFORCE 24GB GDDR6X Graphics Card 4719331311476 | eBay (his)

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4090 WINDFORCE 24GB GDDR6X Graphics Card 4719331311476 | eBay (other guy)

The other guy is clearly legit since he has 354 positive feedbacks as a seller. Now the question is how I can cancel the order since eBay doesn't let me cancel this order now, and how can I get my money back. Do I need to wait for it to past the expected delivery day?

what do I think about asking the bank?

I think you should ask the bank.

Be at the bank as soon as possible.

As a seller I have had chargebacks for as little as $25.

[jerrycatf0707]

Alright, I will head to the bank asap. Hopefully, can get the $400 back too.

Only the PayID amount - ask your bank if they can reverse that amount.

The amount paid through AfterPay can be handled under eBay’s T&Cs, but not if you try to claim THAT portion via another means.

[jerrycatf0707]

Yes, I will only try to claim the $400 back through chargeback and will try to solve the $2000 with eBay. Only if eBay cannot refund for whatever reason, will I ever try to get the $2000 back from the bank. But hopefully, I don't have to resort to that, and eBay can sort things out.

Hi guys, just an update. I managed to fire a dispute of "item not received" today. But it is shown on eBay that if the issue is still unresolved by April 12th, they would step in. Is it supposed to be April 5th (3 days after today)? Is there any holiday between this period that I am missing?

Easter 

[jerrycatf0707]

I thought it started on Friday. Am I missing something?

[sandypebbles]

Oh, sorry

I thought you meant a holiday between the 5th and the 12th

Don't mind me, I'll just go slap myself
