A charge from “Market Place Newsagency” (or similar wording such as “MARKET PLACE NEWSAGENCY PENNANT HILLS NSW” or “PENNANT HILLS MARKETPLACE NEWSAGENCY”) on your bank or card statement usually reflects an in‑store purchase made at their Pennant Hills shop. Common transactions include buying newspapers or magazines, lottery tickets or scratchies, greeting cards, stationery, printer ink, mobile/top‑up vouchers, transport tickets, or paying for small gift items and postage. Most charges are one‑time card payments; however, you might see repeat charges if you regularly buy weekly lottery entries, transport top‑ups, or newspapers at the same time each week, or if a card was used to load funds to an online lottery or prepaid account via the newsagency’s payment terminal. In some cases, you may also see a small temporary authorisation or a pending transaction if your bank briefly verifies your card when you tap or insert it.

If you don’t recognise the charge, first check recent receipts, lottery tickets, transport top‑ups, postage receipts, or small in‑store purchases made in or around Pennant Hills on the same date and for a similar amount. Ask family members or colleagues who may have used the card to buy lottery tickets or other items, and compare the date and Australian dollar amount (your bank may show a converted amount if your account is in another currency). To resolve questions, you can call Market Place Newsagency on (02) 9484 7121 or visit the store inside Pennant Hills Market Place and provide the transaction date, exact amount and the last four digits of your card so staff can help identify the purchase; bring photo ID and any receipts you may have. For refunds or corrections (for example, if a transaction was duplicated or processed for the wrong amount), staff will usually need to process these in store according to standard Australian retail and lottery rules, noting that printed lottery tickets and some prepaid or transport products are generally not refundable once issued.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of purchases typically show up as a charge from Market Place Newsagency?

Most charges from Market Place Newsagency are for in‑store purchases such as newspapers, magazines, lottery tickets and scratchies, greeting cards, stationery, printer cartridges, small gifts, mobile or prepaid recharge vouchers, transport tickets and postage items. These are almost always one‑time EFTPOS or card payments made at the physical shop inside Pennant Hills Market Place.

Why do I see multiple similar charges from Market Place Newsagency in the same week or month?

Because Market Place Newsagency is a walk‑in retail store, each visit is processed as a separate transaction. If you regularly buy lottery tickets, scratchies, newspapers, Opal/transport top‑ups or other small items, they may appear as several low‑value charges over a short period. Families sharing one card can also create a pattern of repeat charges if more than one person uses the card at this newsagency.

Can Market Place Newsagency set up subscriptions or recurring payments on my card?

Market Place Newsagency itself does not typically run card‑based subscription or automatic recurring billing programs; transactions are generally one‑off in‑store purchases. However, you might make recurring purchases manually (for example, buying weekly lottery tickets or regular magazines), which can look like a subscription on your statement. If you’re unsure whether any ongoing arrangement was set up via The Lott or another provider, contact the store or check any lottery or prepaid accounts you use.

How can I cancel or change a regular lottery or ticket purchase linked to a charge at this newsagency?

If you have a regular lottery entry or ticket arrangement that you pay for at Market Place Newsagency, first identify whether it is a purely in‑store, pay‑as‑you‑go purchase or linked to an online lottery account such as The Lott. For in‑store purchases, you can simply stop buying or ask staff not to continue any informal holds or syndicate entries. If the transaction funds an online lottery or prepaid account, you’ll need to log into that external account (for example, The Lott) to pause or cancel any auto‑play or recurring entries, or contact their customer support directly.

How do I request a refund or dispute a transaction from Market Place Newsagency?

Start by contacting Market Place Newsagency directly on (02) 9484 7121 or by visiting the shop at 4–10 Hillcrest Road, Pennant Hills, NSW 2120 with your bank statement and any receipts. Explain the issue (such as a suspected duplicate charge or incorrect amount) and provide the transaction date, time if known, exact amount, and last four digits of your card so staff can locate it in their EFTPOS records. Be aware that, under Australian lottery and prepaid product rules, printed lottery tickets, scratchies, prepaid top‑ups and many transport or gift card products usually cannot be refunded once issued; only clear errors (for example, double‑charging) can typically be reversed, subject to the store’s discretion and bank processes.

Why do I see a small temporary or pending charge from Market Place Newsagency that later disappeared?

Some banks place a small temporary authorisation when you tap or insert your card at a terminal to confirm the card is valid, especially for contactless payments or when a card is first used in a new country. This can appear as a very low‑value or $0 pending transaction labelled with the store name, which then drops off once your final purchase amount is processed. If the pending amount never posts as a completed transaction or disappears within a few days, it was likely just an authorisation hold and not an additional charge.

How can I contact Market Place Newsagency if I still don’t recognise the charge?

You can call Market Place Newsagency on (02) 9484 7121 during their normal business hours (typically around 6:30am–6:00pm on weekdays, shorter hours on weekends) to query the charge. Have your statement ready with the transaction date, time zone, exact amount in Australian dollars, and the last four digits of the card used so staff can look up the transaction. If you’re local, you can also visit the store inside Pennant Hills Market Place and speak to staff in person for faster assistance.
