Customer Fraud- How do I get money back from a chargeback?

I completed an order for a customer on June 7th. Around 10-15 minutes ago the buyer just ‘cancelled’ the order, returning the money to them and taking it from my account. How do I get the money back?

This is my first time encountering this type of scam, and it’s really alarming that this is even possible because I have a couple of larger orders that I didn’t realize this could happen to.

Yes, if it indeed discovered as fraud, you will be compensated, though it may take upward of a month.

Hi! But is the scammer’s profile still active? Because when it’s a chargeback they are banned… But because they just cancelled minutes ago, maybe it will take a bit longer for them to be banned.

Either way, if you have proof that they are using your art, printscreen it and send it to CS as well.

Yeah, their account is still active.

And thanks for the info, I just took some screenshots for proof!

Another update: I’ve lost my gig ranking.
I’ve been a constant 2nd page listing ever since I started selling, and now I can’t even find myself in search. My impressions have dropped and I also haven’t got any new orders since.
