I bought a “Buy It Now” item, payment went through. Two days later, I got an email saying I got a refund. I looked at the order and I looks like I indeed got a full refund. There are no notes or messages from the seller, so I’m not really sure what happened. Should I message the seller? Report that I haven’t received the order? The order does not show that it was canceled; it shows the Paid status, and awaiting shipping.

I’m honestly confused on what to do.

    What type of product were you trying to buy? I had trouble like this when ordering borate wood preservative. Maybe six sellers cancelled my order. Not all replied to my messages asking for more info. Those that did vaguely referred to shipping problems. Eventually I gave up on eBay and got the item from an online store. HTH.

      It is an antique woodworking tool. It was a decent price, that’s why I scooped it. The idea was to buy a vintage one and fix it a little so it was cheaper than a very expensive new one. But many of the vintage ones are approaching new prices.

        i’ve seen items sell ‘too fast’, get refunded/cancelled as item not available, and then relisted later for a higher price. but if it’s a highly rated seller, probably just sold it elsewhere or locally.

            Ha, yeah, I am not a huge hand plane guy, but I know the 46. I’d be miffed too if I was hunting one and somebody yanked a good deal out from under me.

            I have one Japanese wooden block plane, a little green German block plane I saw on Matthias Wandel’s channel, a harbor freight smoothing plane, and a post war vintage no-name Jack plane that still cost more than you’d think.
