Hi, I just want to warn other potential customers to buy from this company.

 

I ordered an item form Yinglian Trading Co. (they have a more websites like ipigeon.store ) where they are selling goods for a quite good price. 

 

how they do it

1) you buy a product and pay through the paypal. 

2) they send you a different product (much cheaper)

3) when you try to write them the don't communicate back, so you try to contact them through the PayPal and of course you want your money back.

4) they offer you they would give you 40% of price for the original product back immediately if you keep the product or you could send it back but they cannot cover the shipping cost  

 

I believe that this four steps are the same for every scammed buyer, the next steps may differ.

 

I believe PayPal doesn't want scammers to use they platform, because it would have negative impact to their brand and credibility.

 

Here are reviews to this company

I hope this help

I had the same problem and I filed a dispute but PayPal denied my claim. Are there any other options. I lost $25 and PayPal refuses to help me.

This company also operates under the company name Icreation (in addition to hundreds of others I am sure).  Their website clearly states:

Will I need to send the item back to Icreation Store:

Only high value products need to be returned.  High value is determined by our service team and is usually an item around $70 or more.  If it is not high value then you do not need to return it and can keep the faulty product.

 

That being said I purchased 4 items for a total of US$66.49 (which included expedited shipping at $10.99 and it took over a month to get to me) and have now been asked to return the items to China which will cost me at least $50-60 CAD - I have advised Paypal at length that this is scam business practices and that Paypal is facilitating these shoddy business practices by not refunding the total funds spent to purchase crap subpar merchandice which isn't even worth $10 total.

It is maddening!!  Since PayPal closed my appeal i cannot get to that part of my case; I have sent the bots a request for the entire case file to include with whomever and where ever I can report these crooks, and at this point PayPal is in that group as far as i am concerned

In order for PayPal to continue their investigation (what's left to investigate, these people are crooks!) I needed to "either contact my local law enforcement (such as your local police or sheriff's department) or you may choose to file a report with any government agency of your choice. ".  Yea, like I'm going to call 911 and bother my local police and tax dollars over a $30 purchase.  I did file with www.ic3.gov and sent PayPal a copy of the report.  They might not like it, because I basically said PayPal is enabling these people.  Let you know what happens.  Going to contact my Visa next.  Good luck everyone.

Will do.  I just did the dispute with my CC company as well.  I'll let everyone know what the results are.  NEVER going to use PayPal again!
