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.

8. Fake items.

I think just about the whole progress involved in my order for the iPad is involved including the FedEx trace, PayPal, Facebook and all that contribute to this being possible. When I tried I couldn’t get PayPal to accept password and when I call it wouldn’t let me speak to a real person. The whole online process involving any type problems limit you to virtual assistance such as AT&T, PayPal and why ? They have the just collect the money and not deal with customer service or scamming companies. They may even have some sort of kickback from the companies involved. How do you go about resolving issues, they already got your money and product.

I am victim to this elaborate scam. They send a FedEx envelope and use that tracking as proof of delivery. In my case it was supposed to be 2 MacBook Pro's. I should have known I couldn't get these for 89.00 each. PayPal closed the case saying seller had proof of delivery. (an envelope). I am trying to have them reopen.

APPEAL

To submit an appeal on the dispute that was closed, PayPal asks that you obtain a detailed report from the shipper/courier (on their letterhead or some other form of official stationary) that includes the address the seller gave them for the shipment. Or one that includes a statement mentioning your address and saying the item was delivered to a different address.
Check tracking in below link to see where it went.

When you have that, contact PayPal via phone (log on to your account and click Contact at the bottom of the page, however that may not be an option at the moment due to covid), or via Facebook (send a Private Message to PayPal) or via Twitter (send a Direct Message to @AskPayPal) and say you want to appeal the denial of the dispute based on the shipper saying the item was delivered to a different address. Once it's submitted (you will be provided with directions on how to do that), the dispute will be reviewed further and a determination will be made.

You also have the option to contact your card issuer if you funded your paypal payment that way and see if they will do a chargeback for you.

had the same thing.  Seller provided "proof of delivery" for same day purchase was made and Dispute Resolution found in favor of seller.  very uncool.  live and learn the hard way.  to good to be true means exactly that.  

beware "AppleOnSale"

I am a victim of this scam According to the shipping policy It ships in 6-12 days No tracking number given Email address is a fake because the email sends it right back to you I called PayPal to dispute it and they told me to do nothing and wait 10 days I should have resolution once they attempt to contact this company and when and if they receive no response from this company, I was told my money will be refunded Let’s see if any of this is true

I am a victim also and PayPal does nothing.

They all seem to be fraudulent. I am fighting with FedEx because they say it was delivered and signed for but never was.
