Amazingly, I received a full refund, and did not have to return the items. ChicV never responded when I bumped my dispute up to a claim. However, it's obvious that everyone on this thread deserves a refund, and Paypal shouldn't be cherry-picking their refunds to give to the most disgruntled customers, of which I was one. I recommend bumping your dispute to a claim, bombarding Paypal's facebook page with your complaint, contacting as many people at Paypal as you can etc. letting them know you are aware they are in on the fraud, and letting ChicV know exactly what you think of them in the transaction sections you fill out in your claim. Make it clear you know they are fraudulent. Do not accept their 15% or 25% refund offers, because they also will say they want you to return the goods, which is nonsense as they often don't accept the packages anyway. Just play as hardball as they are, demand a full refund, no return of goods. Also doesn't hurt to leave fraud alerts on sites that pop up as ChicV holdings, it's pretty easy to tell which are which. Paypal continues to play hardball with its customers but is damaging their "trust" value in doing so, especially when they are complicit in theft with companies such as ChicV. This was a very upsetting experience, and while I'm glad "I got mine" I still am upset about the fact that Paypal is complicit in these scams. Talk about buyer beware!!
