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.

    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.
