Stand up against Paypal

[homes8080]

Paypal is deliberately allowing it's users to be scammed by fraudulent sellers from China. Sellers are shipping broken cheap knockoff items and will not refund you untill the item is returned with trackable post, this will ALWAYS cost more than the original purchase. Stand up against this corrupt organization and stop using PayPal! If you must use PayPal be sure to use a credit card so you can have your credit card company reverse any charges that PayPal refuses to refund. The complaints coming into PayPal should be enough to crash their servers, too many of you are giving in too easily.

Paypal would not be able to check every seller / merchant in over 200 countries worldwide that adds paypal to their website to accept payments.
So they give you 'some' buyer protection but the onus is on you to risk assess your transactions.

They do stop bad companies from using Paypal when enough claims start rolling in.

However as they are in China (mostly) then its easy for them to just start over with a new name, so stopping them does not really do anything.

The BEST thing is to not buy from them in the first place, to recognise them.......

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............thats because 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 nearly always 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. No company address information.
4. Great looking items at bargain prices that turn out to be tat.
