PayPal sickens me with their lackluster approach to customer service. It looks to me like once they got your money, "WHO CARES ABOUT YOU"! That's what they did to me. DO NOT run purchases through PayPal with your cash in their account. Only use Credit Card so you have some kind of recourse. I'm am done! I just filed a complaint with the FTC and I think everyone here should do the same. I'm also going to report PayPal to the various security podcast/news sites so they can run this as a story because people should know what is going on. My next stop is RIPOFF REPORT. After that, I am on my way to make a complaint with the State's Attorney office in San Jose, CA  (PayPal HQ). Again, I suggest everyone do the same. Finally, I will be visiting Quora to see if any attorneys are interested in a class action lawsuit. I hope it was worth it to shaft me for $40.00. Disgusting thieves. ... View more

So PayPal told me to go pound sand... in their terms, the product I got was "close enough" not to issue a refund. I ordered the two nuclear lamps for $39.00, they sent me two plastic night lights that were like $ .50 cents a piece.   Here is what they said: Hello, We received the case(s) you filed on July 19, 2020. We have reviewed this transaction(s) and are denying your case(s). This decision was made because if an item is materially similar to the seller's description, we do not consider it to be significantly not as described. We're sorry for any problems you may have experienced with the transaction(s). It's okay, they can keep my money. I don't have time to play games. I've jumped through all the hoops I am going to at this point even to the extent of bothering the police to "create a police report". I even went along with all of their stupid requests and these dirt bags still **bleep** me. So, it's really down to principle at this point. I am going to keep posting how PayPal sides with scammers on Twitter, I'm going to keep posting to Facebook. I may even take out Ads on Facebook recommending people don't trust PayPal and show them this thread. Like I said, it's principle now. Oh, I"m also going to talk to a few attorneys to see if any want to pick up a "class action" suit against PayPal for refusing to acknowledge they are aiding scam artists and not protecting their customers. I'll keep everyone posted! PS. If you have a cash balance in PayPal, I highly suggest you remove it. PayPal can't be trusted in my opinion. ... View more

So just an update, PayPal offered me a "partial refund" on behalf of the scam artists... I told them I want my ENTIRE REFUND!! Why should I have to bargain with SCAMMERS????? I gave PayPal 10 business days to give me my full refund otherwise I am going to turn this into a MEDIA CIRCUS... They had the audacity to write me today and tell me to contact my local law enforcement and file a "police report". Really??? THEY ARE A LITTLE BUSY YOU IMBECILES!!!! What scum bags!!! I can't believe my eyes!!! I am so fricken FURIOUS!!! I have a better way to spend my time, I'm going to write my local news channel and report that PayPal is protecting SCAM ARTISTS from "CHINA". Up yours PayPal! UP YOURS!!! ... View more

I also got taken by these dirt bags! PayPal just refused my refund!! I'm considering cancelling my PayPal account... if they know this company is fraudulent... how can they refuse my refund? I didn't know the vendor was a scammer... maybe PAYPAL should have interrupted the transaction knowing there were so many issues.   I am considering reaching out to the State's Attorney's Office near PayPal to make a formal complaint. Sounds like there needs to be some legal action taken!!! ... View more
