Recently I paid an amount of $67 for two lightsabers online. The items looked amazing on photos and videos for the price. Although I paid for expedited delivery there was a delay and so I tried to contact them by email onto 3 different addresses but I had no reply. Finally the lightsabers arrived after some time. I have to inform you here that when i went to the Post office to pick the Package it looked extremely small for I was expecting. When I opened the package to my surprise the lightsabers inside where the ones you could buy for $1 d at any kiosk shop around the world. Not only there were toys but they were also damaged. I send an email again this time via PayPal, they gave me the correct e-mail address, and their reply was that they were Sorry about it and that I have to send it back via UPS etc order to be refund and that they would do so only if they agreed too. Needless to say that the return delivery would be paid by me. I have contacted PayPal and they rased a case. I then Googled my issue and I found that many many many people were deceived too. it's is not a matter of money but a matter of principle. I've been cheated. I'm fuming. Now a company name such as PayPal should immediately resolve this issue because the "scam" company is using them and that will definitely have bad repercussions on their name. Up until now nothing has been done and as i can see in Facebook they are still there with another 2 different names plus the one I dealt with.

Your best bet is to read up on paypal buyer protection before you start buying so you know what is and what is not offered.
In the event of a dispute you nearly always have to return the item back to the seller so you bear in mind possible return trackable costs before you buy from that seller / item / country.
Paypal state this >>
PayPal is not obliged to reimburse you for any costs that you incur to comply with any of PayPal’s requests for cooperation for the purpose of resolving the problem (including, without limitation, costs that you incur to return a SNAD item to the Payment Recipient or another party as PayPal requests), although sometimes it may reimburse these costs.
You also have the option to do a chargeback via your card issuer instead of a Paypal dispute if you funded your Paypal payment via a credit card.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Its a scam mate, even PayPal is a scam and regulated offshore
You need to check the background of the seller and even then you may not be safe
