Question 1

Why do I see a TechBuy charge on my statement when I don’t remember ordering anything?

Accepted Answer

Many customers place orders for computer parts, printers, or networking equipment and forget the merchant name by the time the charge posts. The statement descriptor typically includes “TECHBUY” or “TECHBUY.COM.AU,” which may appear slightly different from the website branding. Check your recent email inbox and spam folder for invoices from TechBuy, and review any purchases made on behalf of your workplace or family—these are common reasons for unrecognised TechBuy charges.

Question 2

Does TechBuy have subscriptions or recurring charges?

Accepted Answer

TechBuy primarily processes one-off payments for hardware, peripherals, and related technology products; they do not commonly run consumer subscription services like software-as-a-service billed monthly. However, you may see repeated TechBuy charges if you regularly place orders for consumables (e.g., printer toner, cables, accessories) or if your business account places frequent purchases on the same card. If you see an unexpected repeat charge, log into your TechBuy account to review recent orders or contact their support team with the order numbers shown on your invoices.

Question 3

Why is there both a pending TechBuy charge and a final charge on my card?

Accepted Answer

When you place an order, TechBuy’s payment gateway may put through an initial pre-authorisation hold to confirm that your card is valid and has sufficient funds. Once your items are allocated and the order is processed, the final sale is captured and the pre-authorisation is automatically released by your bank, usually within a few business days. In some online banking apps this can briefly look like two charges; the earlier, smaller or “pending” entry should disappear and not be actually debited from your account.

Question 4

What are common amounts for TechBuy charges?

Accepted Answer

TechBuy charges vary widely depending on what you purchase—from low amounts for a single cable or accessory, to mid-range totals for monitors or printers, up to higher values for full PC builds, servers, or bulk business orders. Your statement total may include product prices, GST, and shipping/insurance fees. If the amount you see is slightly higher than the items you recall, check your invoice for added freight, surcharges for certain payment methods, or additional accessories or warranties that were included at checkout.

Question 5

How can I get a copy of my TechBuy invoice or receipt to verify this charge?

Accepted Answer

Log in to your account on techbuy.com.au and go to the Orders or Invoices section to download tax invoices for completed purchases. If you checked out as a guest or cannot access your account, search your email for “TechBuy Tax Invoice” or “Order Confirmation” using the email address used at checkout. You can also contact TechBuy via the contact page on their website and provide your name, email, and approximate order date/amount so they can locate and resend your invoice.

Question 6

How do I change or cancel a TechBuy order and stop a pending charge?

Accepted Answer

If your order has not yet been picked, shipped, or specially ordered from a supplier, TechBuy may be able to modify or cancel it. Contact their customer service as soon as possible via phone or email with your order number and request, as time is critical once the order moves into dispatch. If the payment is still in a pre-authorised state, cancellation should prevent it from being captured; if it has already been charged, they may arrange a refund or store credit in line with their change-of-mind and returns policy.

Question 7

What is TechBuy’s refund and return policy for mistaken or unwanted orders?

Accepted Answer

TechBuy’s ability to refund depends on product type, condition, and whether the item was specially ordered from a supplier. In general, unopened, resaleable stock items may be eligible for return subject to approval, restocking fees, and time limits, while software licences, custom PCs, and some special-order or clearance items are often non-refundable. To request a refund or return, contact TechBuy support with your invoice number and product details so they can advise the applicable options under their Returns/RA and Australian Consumer Law obligations.

Question 8

How do I contact TechBuy about an unauthorised or unknown charge?

Accepted Answer

Visit techbuy.com.au and go to the Contact or Customer Service section for current phone numbers and email addresses (typically a sales or support email such as sales@techbuy.com.au or support@techbuy.com.au). Provide your full name, the last four digits of the card, the exact charge amount, date, and any reference details from your bank statement so they can search their system. If TechBuy cannot locate a matching order in your name or you believe the transaction is fraudulent, notify your bank or card issuer immediately to dispute the charge and secure your account.
