One 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............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.

I've reported it to PayPal and have sent them as much information about the place as I could all though it seems like the add and site just disappeared right after placing the order. I hope we can get out Monday back and I know I have learned a lesson don't order anything from Facebook adds..Good luck on getting your money back they hit me for $113. + change

I did the same. Showed delivered called ISO’s they gave me tge address where it was delivered and it was a small 6in box to another person. Called PayPal and they are refunding my money. These are guaranteed by PayPal thankfully. They were very helpful to file as well.

they tries say they sent me a tracking # ... i went to the post office and found a very helpful guy who researched the tracing # it it listed on thtat tracking # was less and 2 ounces medical prescription pills...and was sent to an address 10 miles away ... this is a real scam even the guy at the post office said that ...he did some additional research and it was told me where the tracking number was generated from a medical company  makes me wonder how they got that tracking number .... the guy at the post office was very helpful..... it not a 60# tool box they were shipping .

Had the same exact thing happen but they started with a different tracking number said it was shipped and dropped in the same city name but in NY instead of CA and when Im looking closer it was a completely different tracking number than the original...anyway fought it forever and the whole time PayPal saying that the customer sent it and it was delivered and that's that.
