REturn item to address written in chinese

[Louise151]

I bought an electrical item from ebay, £250 and made sure it wasnt from china, it stated in the post descriprion item location is Leicester.

Item Arrived quite fast but was 'Faulty' therefore a dispute was opened and item to be returned to seller for a full refund.

BUT the return address is in chinese, even tho it was posted from Leicester. What should i do?

Another of these??

Chinese Web Sites or on Social Media ads easy to spot (once you know the below signs) so buyer beware.

1. No return address on the returns policy. The site will look as if its in your country (where they despatch goods from) but they will ask for returns to go back to China (returns depot) at a shipping cost often more than the item is worth.
2. No contact telephone number. if you click on contact the most you will get is webmail or an email address.
3. Rarely company address information.
4. Great pictures of items at bargain prices that turn out to be tat.
5. Fake reviews.
6. Google and you can often see previous company names as they change them once enough claims roll in and Paypal stop them using their services and start over.
7. Send fake tracking numbers to win item non receipt of item claims.

Well firstly for you to confirm it was one of those companies so I could advise you further.

Secondly to put the message out as much as possible to warn others.

But I take your point and won't bother you anymore.
