I actually bought a mouse and keyboard from them previously with no issue. It's clear something happened and they just cut and run. Still using the mouse and keyboard (Corsair K63 mechanical keyboard / lapboard and a Corsair Dark Core Pro SE).
Oh no, I saw the warning signs as a former customer myself. I spoke on the phone to Garth. I had emails back and forth with the brave and completely naive logistics manager they hired to sort out their backlog. I have heard the exact same excuses.

Let’s face it, if you want to stay ahead of the curve, you need the latest gadgets which is why, even during lockdown, online computer and tech stores did well. But, one online retail outlet, PC Link Computers seems to have dunked themselves in hot water. And, When Ouma Thema grew tired of...www.enca.com

This is wrong. EFTs CAN be reversed and one of the smaller banks (not gonna name names) is notorious for doing it for scammers' accounts. Most personnel however don't know about it but if you can get to the right person, usually fraud department, they'll reverse it for a fee if the money is still in the account and there's even a schedule for it.
PASA and the Banking Ombud consider EFT credit transactions final in scenarios where the customer themselves legitimately authorised the payment (in error or otherwise) and the recipient bank is unable to intervene before the funds are value in the recipient account. In most cases the recourse is usually directly against the recipient of the funds by legal process (ie. undue enrichment etc).
That is how it works and it's not a letter but an electronic request if I'm not mistaken. The recipient bank then EFT's the amount back to the originating bank. There is even a turnaround time for this which is something like 5 days but with the caveat it must be done before 40 days from the transaction.
Yes legitimately authorises in good faith. That doesn't hold when fraud has taken place or money is sent to the wrong account. You can ask around there are people who've had funds reversed from their accounts. Banks have a lot more leeway today to conduct investigations and control transactions than in the days when cheques were written.
It can be but it can also be a banking instruction like for EFT only in reverse. It does not require the approval of the recipient and only the recipient bank which in most cases will comply. As a result of our anti money laundering legislation banks were given a lot of leeway. They can conduct investigations not even the police have authority to conduct that would otherwise violate all privacy laws and freeze or reverse transactions for which a court order would normally be needed.
Sure if you dispute it not, but now you're conflating different issues. EFTs can be reversed unexpectedly. This is a known issue such that people I spoke with the other day transferred the money elsewhere so they can't be scammed. Someone else had it happen twice. First time account was frozen and he couldn't pay bond because some corporate incorrectly transferred to his account. Second time he was scammed and withdrew the money. Bank called him and said the transaction was reversed he owed them money. He told them sorry not his problem and never heard from them again.
Maybe it was a broken button but you could still use the remote. Who knows.
