I agree. Same thing happened to me but PayPal refuses to refund my money unless I return a piece of junk to China. They really don’t back their customers at all I was under the impression that if the item was significantly different you were not required to return.

I recently had the same problem. Purchased an item that was advertised as coming from the uk as I don’t buy from Chinese sellers. As soon as I paid it showed a Chinese seller. Tried to cancel order without success. It took over 2 months for the wrong item to show up. Now PayPal says in order to receive a refund I have to return the item to China. It costs more to return it than just get ripped off. PayPal does not check there sellers and sure doesn’t protect there users. I will never use PayPal to purchase items again and I have used them for over 20 years  ... View more
