Best Specialty Store

I ordered from a website that was "sponsored" on the Best Buy website and it was fraudulent. I could only pay through PayPal but forgot my password, so it let me check out as a guest. The name of the merchant came up on the PayPal receipt as Best Specialty Store. Online it is gamesplaysinc.com. Beware of this site and merchant.

I am still trying to get my money back from PayPal ...I bought a dyson on December 8 and received nothing, no receipt or email or product. on March 30 PayPal decides I need to be charged the 329 and closes my dispute.  They have provided me with no answers as to why.  I can’t find any info on the company to even try to contact them so who did they actually talk to. PayPal people just hang up on me when I call for the millionth time.  I asked them if they had proof of delivery as everyone documents packages being delivered that would seem pretty simple to me.   I have never had this kind of issue if I disputed a purchase in my 40 years of using credit.  I will never use PayPal again and I will be telling the story to everyone I know.

Just keep sending it. I had the same issue with reporting it as unauthorized but after a few times it got someone’s attention and they corrected the reason and decided in my favor

I have also fallen victim to this by the same method of operation. These scammers are using PayPal as an accomplice to steal our money. PayPal shouldn’t release money to seller until correct item/items are received and approved by purchaser. Which in this day and age happens rather promptly at times. Trying to file a dispute claim and get your money back is also designed to make it difficult for the buyer to successfully get a refund.

I sent an email to the fake website and requested my order to be canceled and refund the money to my PayPal account. This was their reply. Hello, we haven't found your order , maybe you bought it at another store . Please check it . Thanks 07.12.2020, 17:50, Looks like they’re off by a few days.

Prosale was the name they went by when I also as a guest was smoozed for $199.99+$10.00 via PayPal checkout. It was for a refurbished Nintendo Switch, a Present for my children's Christmas. I thought what an amazing deal and it's PayPal checkout and they are supposed to be safe. Well I can't even get ahold of PayPal, no customer service help at all. Called my bank, hopefully they will be a sincere help.
