This company advertises appliances for sale - is it a legit business it takes paypal as payment.

I see a company - Chico Deon- advertising appliances for sale but I can't find any reviews for them.  They accept paypal as payment so I was wondering if anyone has heard of them.

Check not another 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. 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.

Hi @dedeMay61, 

Welcome to the Community! 

It's important to remember, that when buyers pay with PayPal, PayPal Buyer Protection covers them in case there is a problem. If an item doesn’t arrive or is significantly not as described, we will help buyers get a full refund.

If you want, you can read further information on our Buyer Protection Policy here. 

Hopefully, this puts your mind at ease.
