WARNING: PAYPAL WILL NOT PROTECT YOUR MONEY BEWARE!!!!

I placed 2 online orders from online websites that had awesome summer clothing at great prices---so I thought.  Paid with PayPal thinking I would have some kind of protection, wrong.  Both packages came from China and the clothes barely resembled the great pictures on their website and the women's sizes would fit a child.  I filed claims with PayPal, returned the package at my expense, and later told by PayPal that my claim was denied because they couldn't track an international package mailed by USPS!!! I lost over $200 to these crooks!! These Chinese companies are scamming people and Payal is allowing it!!! SHAME ON PAYPAL...lesson learned and lost my confidence in PayPal.  PS: PAYPAL has hundreds of similar complaints on these over seas companies and they continue to rob us.

Lesson learned:

Check out seller business diligently before making a purchase.  PayPal can't protect against poor buyer judegment.

Review PayPal buyer protection policies and make sure your follow them exactly, like with tracking for all returns.

 

There are risks to buying online and those risks increase dramatically with international purchases.  Due diligence is critical.

Paypal cannot tell if you have shipped the items or seller received the goods since there is no tracking to confirm such.

Buying from China canbe expensive if it does not work out,return shipping with tracking,you may have to send USPS priority intl or private carier like DHL or Fed Exp.

Understand all these before you buy/return
