I had the same happen to me. I was shopping on Target and there was a click through ad to order toilet paper from Hotgrilhomes, which I did, and paid through Paypal assuming I would be protected. They shipped me a 2" roll of gauze in an envelope and charged me $52.37. I opened a dispute with a ton of pictures, including the shipping envelope, with Paypal and Paypal notified the shipper, who didn't respond. 30 days later Paypal said I would have to open a policy report and prove that I did this, which I did. Now they are saying I have to return the 2" piece of gauze to China and then the China company will issue me a refund. I don't believe I will ever see a refund, and at this point I think Paypal is probably involved and making as much money on this scam as the China company or why else wouldn't they offer some consumer protection to us? Never use paypal for a payment method, they clearly ARE NOT behind us. Paypal says I have 10 days to provide proof that I have returned this 2" roll to a chinese address at my expense in order to even keep the resolution open. Unbelievable.
