Found website offering VERY cheap products--some kind of too good to true type.  they claim they are covered by paypal.  How does one  ask paypal if its true or not??

Paypal gives some buyer protection but its not an insurance or a 100% coverall so you need to risk assess your own transactions.

Do NOT buy from 1 of these which I bet it is...........


Chinese Web Sites or on Facebook easy to spot 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.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
