| Hello there. I need to ask for some assistance because yesterday I placed an
order on Bricklink (Lego 75192 - Millennium Falcon), and unfortunately, an issue
arose. It appears that the seller's profile (https://store.bricklink.com/picasso2257?p=picasso2257#/terms)
has been compromised, and he is unable to contact me through Bricklink. He states
that he no longer has access to Bricklink and has not received any payment. Coincidentally,
the store was closed this morning, and its location has been relocated from France
to the US.
Upon discovering this, I promptly contacted PayPal and submitted a refund request.
Additionally, I reached out to my bank to block the payment, as one half of it
has been made using PayPal balance, while the other half had been processed through
my credit card, and the payment was not completed. Now, I would like to inquire
about the likelihood of receiving a refund. I am aware that if the seller fails
to ship the package, I can fill out a Non-Shipping Seller form. However, how
optimistic should I be about getting my money back?
Thank you, everyone, for your assistance.

| Since you paid thru PayPal you should be good. PayPal has very good buyer protection
so your claim will likely go thru without issue

File a case on Paypal and submit a chargeback on the cc for the rest.

Sigh... a low feedback buyer's account, not used in ages and then with just
one recent feedback for selling. That's a recipe for fraud if ever I saw
one!

I know, but honestly I thought that Bricklink was free of any scams... evidently
I was wrong. Do you think I can manage to get my money back?

I think PayPal will side with you.

Even if BrickLink would be perfect, there's plenty of solutions to get a
password outside BrickLink... Then one can log in "legitimately" with
the correct password.

BrickLink is an open marketplace. You need to look out for yourself! Good thing
you used Paypal.
Read feedback. Read terms. If an offer is too good to be true, it is usually
too good to be true. Don't buy rare or expensive items from sellers with
no experience.

Very good odds if it was through paypal goods and services. I once bought a pair
of fishing reels from a sketchy website and they never sent them, so I filed
an item not received case via paypal, and then whoever was on the other end did
upload a tracking number, but the random number they uploaded said delivered
to a completely different address in another state, and I pointed that out in
my response and paypal sided with me.
