Sorry, you can't do a thing. PayPal won't refund you because it's policy to send the item back and the Chinese sellers know this. Its fraud and theft and PayPal no this but are actively facilitating it because theyre too stupid to realise what's going on. ... View more

Totally agree... PayPal don't realise that they're facilitating a fraud. The seller knows that PayPal won't recover the money and will insist that the item sent in 'error' is returned.. knowing full well that the return postage is more than the refund. ... View more

Not a watch but a paint sprayer. Bought it from an ad on Facebook not realising it was from China. Price was in $ so stupidly thought that it might be from the US. Turned out was China. Paid for it beginning of June. Had not arrived by end of July. Gave me tracking details showing my parcel in Lithuania... 2 days later a $5 paint roller appeared. Contacted sender who offered a 40% refund. I raised a complaint with PayPal. No human contact. In the end I did speak to someone and they told me I had to return it for a full refund. When I pointed out that the return post would probably be greater than the cost of the refund she didn't seem to understand. PayPal closed the dispute and allowed the seller to keep my money.. Basically it's theft by desception facilitated by PayPal. ... View more

The item I bought was listed on Facebook. Had I known it was from China I wouldn't have bought it. I've had similar problems before and the people at PayPal don't see the scam... ... View more

I can't seem to respond either. I've paid for an item that didn't arrive. Sender has sent me the wrong item and won't refund me until I send the item back knowing full well that it will cost more that the purchase price to send the item back. ... View more

Bought a paint sprayer advertised on Facebook. Seller didn't declare it was from China. If they had I wouldn't have bought. Paid for in in June 2020... Sprayer did not arrive. Chased them and eventually a package arrived with a $5 roller in it. Seller apologised and said they issue a full refund if I posted the roller back (knowing that the return postage would be more that $29...) The seller won't issue a full refund. They've offered a 40% reduction only. So even though they've made the mistake I won't get my item and I'm out of pocket... I'll get $11.60 back and PayPal feel this is fair... ... View more
