Buyer protection on purchase from China?

[Fran123456]

Before I make a purchase from China using PayPal, is there any buyer protection? Haven't done it yet but ready to make the purchase.

Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated, as I am anxious to make this purchase.

Thank you!

If its one of these Social Media ad sites then I would advise you not to.

You do have buyer protection but its not a 100% coverall.

A lot of these sites send fake tracking numbers and the onus would be on you to prove to paypal it was false by contacting the delivery company and providing written proof the tracking was fake, so an item not received dispute would not be straight forward.

Secondly if the item did arrive and it was Chinese tat then again the onus would be on you (if you won the dispute) to send the item back trackable and at your own expense before you got a refund.....return postage is often more costly than the item you paid for.
