To get a refund you have to send it to Hong Kong. PayPal would rather keep their business with these scammers than assist the hunsreds ripped off. ... View more

Well, as far as l am concerned, PayPal has failed the community. I filed a claim of substantial misrepresentation of product and PayPal "resolved" the claim in my favor, but....l am required to send it back to Hong Kong to get my refund. You must be kidding. How much of myb22. Dollars for a 50 cent flashlight that is nonwhere near what was advertised by these scammers will that eat up. PayPal should have taken a stand against them with this many claims reported. Total fraud on both parts. PayPal wants to keep the business scamming to get their cut. It's worse than hate posts on FB in my opinion. ... View more

Waiting for my dispute to be settled with PayPal. To add insult to injury, that Zestad is so bad thatvwhen l notified them that itvhad both arrived broken, notvworking and was substantially different and they were fraudulentvandcdemanded my money, they sent me an advisement that they wete shipping another "order". I reminded them that they wete frauds and filed a substantially different claim with PayPal. I cannot believe PayPal CV ontinues to pay them money after so many complaints. I will likely never order anyyhing again without checking everywhere for this kind of info on a product. ... View more

Escalate to a PayPal dispute. It takes it out of disputes between you and the merchant and gives it over to PayPal. Escalate is at the bottom of the dispute page. You only have 20 days from the dispute to "escalate" and it stops anything going on between you and the merchant. Pay Pal then makes the decision and it can take 30 days. ... View more

Company a complete scam. They send a flashlight (if you get it... judging from the amount of disputes) that is a complete piece of junk that should sell for a dollar. Mine came broken. In addition to a picture and a description of the problem, they had the nerve to tell me I couldn't dispute with them unless I sent a VIDEO, all in an attempt to keep the money or stall. I will upgrade to a transaction dispute if nothing in less than a week. Complete misrepresentation of a product. from a too-good ad. You must dispute asap. Mine came in pieces with a spring and some ball bearing in the bag,. Filed a dispute the same day to preserve my rights. Will wait 5 days for a response then upgrade to PayPal dispute which gets it out of their hands. Must be done within 20 days of filing the dispute. Another thing. PayPal has something that says ask for returns by Paypal at PayPal expense. You must do this before you file the dispute to preserve that right. Read everything. ... View more

Complete scam. Looks like the one in the ad but a piece of junk that might cost a dollar, mine was even in parts in the bag and ball bearing and a spring fell out when I opened the bag. COMPLETE SCAM, nothing like the ad. DO NOT BUY. Many internet and YOU TUBE posts on this scam. ... View more
