How this operation works

A purchase was made from an online seller, marketplace listing, or social media shop and the goods never arrived, or were materially not as described. Where a card or a payment platform was used, formal buyer protection usually applies.

Warning signs

  • The seller asked you to pay outside the platform
  • Payment was requested by bank transfer or as a friends-and-family payment
  • The price was far below market
  • The listing or shop disappeared after payment

How recovery usually works for this type

  • Card chargeback for goods not received
  • Payment platform buyer protection claim
  • Marketplace dispute resolution
