Accidentally €1000 purchase on 3 fake pokemon carda auctions
Hi everyone, I accidentally won 3 Yahoo Auctions via Buyee for counterfeit Pokémon cards totaling ~€1,000.
Auction IDs: R26080304317, R26080304227, R26080304063
Seller: 動物好き (11 ratings)
Issue: Blatant proxy cards (fake full-card rainbow foil on vintage promos).
I’ve already submitted an urgent ticket to Buyee requesting a hold on the funds due to trademark/counterfeit rules.
Two quick questions:
Has Buyee ever frozen funds or cancelled an auction for fake items before paying the seller?
If they refuse to cancel, is it better to wait for warehouse inspection or go straight to a PayPal/credit card chargeback?
Thanks for any quick advice!
