Asda vs Paypal, refund advice?

[Karl Masks]

Don't know if anyone can answer this. I used my paypal for my mother to buy some clothes from Asda. Product was delivered but for some reason refunded. Asda don't seem to know why and have said the only way to refund the refund would be through a 'chargeback'. This would be, presumably, through Paypal, but the latter have said that's not possible.

I don't really understand all this. Asda's mistake and while I'd be happy to keep the money I'd be happier just to sort it out properly. Is there anything I can ask Asda to provide so I can just pay them the money? There's no refund the refund option in Paypal so unless they send me an invoice I'm not sure what to do.

Alternatively I could spend that thirty quid on Iced Gems

That's the obvious solution.

Email “there is no refund option in PayPal. I’m going to spend the money on iced gems”.

 

[Sue]

I didn't know you could still get iced gems.

This is why we have commas

I meant scratchcards and cucumber

 

[friedaweed]

Fuck'em. Their mistake. Not up to you to sort it. This happened to me with PayPal on a hotel booking. Hotel said I'd payed PayPal never took the money from my account. Wife thinks i treated her and payed for our next overnight. Baddabing!

Problem is I've already contacted them about this. Smart move would have been to say nothing. But it wasn't my purchase so I cahsed it up. If Asda and their frankly dire customer service don't provide a proper invoice then they get nothing. Not even an iced gem. Their mistake, I'm not liable

Cucumber?! I thought you said it was only £30?

You're looking at the Cucumber Price Index.

I'm going to see if they have any iced gems in the local coop.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

They didn't have any iced gems in stock.

But they did have tomatoes and cucumbers

Reckon Coop is involved in some clandestine tomato smuggling operation, sneaking them across the channel and past the border guards.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Weirdly they had lots of tomatoes but only about half a dozen cucumbers - maybe they're still under heavy rationing.

I note that Walmart shares have dropped 5 points. I hope you're happy Karl.

Walmart don't own ASDA anymore.

They used to have their own farms, but sold them off when the co-op group self-combusted spectacularly due to the chairman of the co-op bank being exposed as using drugs and prostitutes. Not sure if they sold some of them or all of them. They might still have some?

No wonder. I'd have dumped them too after seeing the OP

Wasn't he a cleric of some sort?

Yes, I recall him being referred to as a minister (religious, not political).

They sold them to the Wellcome Trust a few years back

I was going to make a comment about fair trade but that's probably not appropriate.

 

[Karl Masks]

Paypal wouldn't do the chargeback. In fact i told Asda NOT to attempt this. Not least of all because, having spoken to Paypal, was told that wasn't an topion anyway. You can't just ring up Mr Paypal and say "so and so owes me money, make it rain son". Now they want me to supply my debit card details. I'm kinda thinking that's a big NO NO from me. They can sing for their iced gems before I'll email my bloody card details!

Aren't you thinking of Calvin Robinson?

Oh sorry, I saw drugs and prostitutes and reached a conclusion
