Have your bank reissue you a new card with new number.

You can request all transactions too be blocked from a vendor if you call your card services.
Usually if you do a charge Back the vendor will blacklist the card as well.
How long did it take to resolve? You did a chargeback? I'm still undecided whether to do that or try to ship it back to them as a return. It would be messed up if it got lost during transit and I'm on the hook for it or they didn't refund me the full amount because of whatever number massaging they're doing.
Did you actually get either of the consoles?

Took about ten days.
Opened a dispute with PayPal. I gave them a long narrative with dates and screen shots.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Uh....
so you ended up with one for free? LOL
Uh....

Good advice. I just checked my Paypal account and the previously dropped pre-authorization is now back. Strangely, it still has the original Nov 25th date. Paypal support is worthless, they won't do anything until the pre-authorization becomes an actual charge.
Once again - what a mess.

Do you understand a CREDIT SCORE and how credit doesn't just disappear, this is only a few steps from "cutting up my card absolves all my debt" level of thinking.
That's no good, it's got black over the important parts, looks like you got ripped off on that one, try and repost again maybe it won't have the black on it?For me it came in a separate email. Here's what it looked like, in case it went into your spam or trash or something:
huh? like gamestop is refunding you again? So you're getting free money and series S or what lmao. Or the charge returned

They claimed they never charged me which is why i did the CC chargeback. That went through but now today, as this showed up, I am seeing yesterday they refunded me. (this is well after I gave them the 3-5 business days they said they needed to process the refund)
So yes. As of now they have given me a box I didnt pay for, or order, as they did a return to sender on both boxes, and now have refunded me. So I am up $331 dollars and have a series S.
I feel like this can't stand but the way this has gone it would be hilarious.

If you get the XSS, 3 months of GPU, $10 coupon and $300 from GameStop then you sir are the king of this thread.

Getting the bank to issue you a new card with a different number won't affect credit score. The question was how to prevent GameStop from charging you again and that was an answer. They weren't saying not to pay the bill. They were saying to change the card number. That might not actually stop subsequent charges, though.

What time is it?
Can I borrow $300 from you?

IF Gamestop is CHARGING YOU something, then changing your bank number won't make those other charges "disappear".
They'll send you to collections, or something like that, they'll get their money, and fuck up your credit either way.

Im broke sorry.
Did you get the packing slip in the box? If so, is the order number matched to the original one? The packing slip I got, the order number is not matched and came with a 6k total invoice. Very strange. Right now I don't even know what to do. Can't really return to store with 6k number on packing slip.

For anyone that wants to return a console and is alright with store credit, this has worked for me in the past:
Tell them you received the console as a gift but don't want it and they didn't give you the gift receipt. You didn't want to ask for the receipt and seem ungrateful, but you did find out they purchased it from "this store".
As long as everything is sealed up they have always given me store credit. Works at Target and Walmart, but I'm not totally sure about GameStop or other retailers.
Edit: I could be wrong about the retailers so best to call first and confirm.

You're not comprehending what he's saying.
Target has a limit. $100 per year per person with no receipt store return. Walmart, not sure. I tried just returning the controller and they gave me hard time. They eventually did give me the store credit. But I think there is a limit too. GameStop, the store near me, told me they won't accept return without receipt.

Theres no packing slip actually.
He's not thinking about what he's saying.
If something is OWED it will follow you, no matter what your banking number changes to.
Some of you people's knowledge of money is scary, a CHARGE that is coming to YOUR BANK NUMBER will FOLLOW YOUR OLD BANK NUMBER and CREDIT SCORE to the grave, outstanding charges DO NOT "disappear" because you've "ghosted" the charger, it'll impact your credit history... jesus. If the bank number that they're charging doesn't "exist" anymore they'll just get another company to hunt you down.

Just use gift credit cards and retailers wouldn't be able to screw you.

About that….
Gamestop tried to authorize my payment LAST NIGHT for the third Series S they added to my order over a year ago "to properly fulfill the order".
Thankfully the payment method was no longer valid and it failed, so they sent me a kind notification to change my payment method.
Check your bank statements, kids.

So shady, the company so reminds of being slimed by a really bad used car salesman. Blows my mind that they are still in business.
