I ordered a set of 3 led talking pumpkins $45.97 and received 3 dollar store pumpkins instead from CB CO.,LTD. I can't seem to find someone to talk to about it. I want a refund. This is a load of crap!!! What can I do about it?

If it helps, I still have the envelope those crappy pumpkins came in. The return address is in NYC. They claimed to be a US shipper. Reply to PayPal and the seller that they advertised as a US company and that you have the address. I’m not home now, but I’ll post the return address. Maybe that can help.

Do you have that NYC address. Mine came from there also, but I can't find my original package cover with the address. Paypal says I need to send it to China. I will send a note to china and pay $2 to do so and let them know there package was sent back to original sender, but I need the NY address please.

Don't bother with a dispute. Paypal won't help you unless you fill out a form that requires tons of info most people won't/don't have due to this being a Facebook purchase. My dispute was denied

I'm currently in a dispute with the same issues.  It looks like it is going in my favor.  I ordered a pumpkin with three video options for over $90.  I received a package but it is not what was advertised.  The shipping receipt said that the contents are worth $1.66.  I am requesting a refund 

for the difference.  

 

I received a package from <removed> SHENZHEN GUANGDONG <removed> CHINA Phone <removed>

The package had three small plastic lanterns with a single battery-powered LED inside. The package receipt shows a value of $1.66USD.

Below is what was advertised:
"Halloween Talking Animated Pumpkin with Built-In Projector & Speaker - 3 PCS Scary+Silly+Funny pumpkins × 1"

THIS IS NOT MATCH WITH WAS WAS ADVERTISED!!!!

Since shipping the package back will cost more than what it is worth, I am requesting a $97.79USD refund.  Let that company pay for shipping!

 

PayPal said that I have 3 days to reply.  It's been only 6hrs.  Let see how this turns out.

I have the exact same experience from my order via Facebook on 9/25/20. Will be my first and last time I order via Facebook. I was charged by a company from China called "New Boat Sailing" via Paypal.  They sent three cheap plastic pumpkins that was not what I ordered AFTER I filed a complaint for not receiving my order.  I returned the three cheap plastic pumpkins and still in dispute. The offered a partial or half refund and I rejected it since I already returned my order. Still waiting on full refund.
