I purchased from this company & was given a fake tracking number. After I started a dispute they finally shipped my product. It was nothing like the description or picture. They offered a full refund it I return the item to ship it back to China it will cost me over 70.00 & the original item was 45.00 with shipping! I’ve been scammed! I’m really tired of these vendors!

Sounds like a Social Media purchase from one of the ads selling Chinese tat on there?
If so then if you file a dispute for non receipt of item the seller would win if they provided a tracking number.
So your only option is to file a dispute for item received but not as described but if you win you would have to send the item back to the seller (trackable to prove delivery) before getting a refund of the original payment only. That may be costly back to China !!

Has anyone else been scammed by Giske Technology regarding performance claims made for their flashlight product? The flashlight I received doesn't come close in meeting those claims.

Another of these???
Chinese Web Sites or on Social Media ads easy to spot (once you know the below signs) so buyer beware.
The best thing is to not buy from them in the first place, to recognise them -
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.

Hello @KB135,
Welcome! Thank you for visiting the PayPal Community. I can certainly understand how purchasing an item from an unknown seller may cause some concern. While PayPal does request as much information as necessary to confirm a merchant's legitimacy, unfortunately there may still be sellers that are not completely honest. With that in mind, here are a few resources you may find useful:
How do I spot a fake, fraudulent, or phishing PayPal email or website?
Does PayPal cover my purchase if there's a problem?
What are common scams and how do I spot them? (this is a US-based article, however it still has information you may find useful)
You're always welcome to reach out to our Customer Support if you have questions or concerns about your purchase.
I hope those help!
