I was scammed by a Chinese company called Powerls who didn't send what I ordered and refused to rectify it. I started a claim via Paypal and was eventually advised that I could get a refund if I returned the goods with tracking. The goods that were sent to me were pretty much worthless and the cost for me to return them is almost half of what I paid in the first place. There are numerous complaints about powerls on trustpilot and other websites (which I didn't know about when I ordered) and it is obvious that they are fraudsters engaging in blatant false advertising. I can't believe that Paypal allow them to continue trading on their platform and require me to pay more to get my money back for goods that are worthless. I would have thought that the return postage would be the responsibility of the supplier seeing as it is their mistake, not mine. I'm not happy!!

Thanks, that's what I used. It's only small amounts but it makes my blood boil that I should have to pay more to get money back from a scammer!

Paypal is giving me the same run around about being required to return an obviously bait and switch purchase that I made through Facebook and felt protected since I made the payment through Paypal. I cannot get any satisfaction through Paypal since they are telling me the same baloney about needing to return the items to the seller and provide a tracking number. Once the merchandise is supposedly received by the seller - Paypal will issue my refund - which I have a better chance of becoming the next pope. I am contacting Discover and requesting a charge back to Paypal and then Paypal can sort it out. I'm very disappointed with this Paypal customer service episode. Paypal must be in bed with these fraud Chinese sellers?

I get it. I bought a watch and one of the main reasons I got it was they used PayPal so I thought I would be safe. I was supposed to get a Samsung g3 but what I got was a dollar store watch. When I complained and went to PayPal all they said was well you got a watch so denied me protection. I asked them if they ordered a Rolex and got a Casio would that be fine because they’re both watches ? Seems to me PayPal now only cares about the money and **bleep** the customer.

I just found this thread and I can't beleive this return shipping scam has been around since January. So it's been at least 8 months, and what has PayPal done to curtail this scam? Not a damn thing! Make one to wonder if PayPal gets kickback from these scumbags.
