I recently searched the net for a special tshirt and found a tshirt company that represented themselves as US based.  Once I made the purchase via Paypal, I received an email 4 days later stating it was shipping from China.  Since then I have seen that the Website no longer exists.  It's been down for 5 days due to maintenance.  Also now that I search on the company , there are several complaints in the BBB.org website as well as others.  When I did my research initially, I did not find these.  Paypal should pull this company's account.  I am out a small amount of money but I'm okay with that.  I deceided NOT to use my Credit Card and thought Paypal would be safer as they would not know my account number.  I contacted Paypal but all they did was contact the buyer.  Is there somewhere on paypal website to report this fradulent account?

I too had this problem but I'm out $300. I filed a claim with Paypal hoping to get refunded. They can clearly see the website I ordered from is no longer existing but they closed my claim and basically said too bad for you. They see nothing wrong. Im not sure what my steps are going to be now. Im really upset and feel Paypal works together with these fraudulent scum bags!!
