This message is to all those who have been scammed by the zeaqikstore or similar vendors (I am guessing zeaqikstore is working under multiple websites). My process to getting a credit, not a refund, from PayPal was drawn out over 3 months. After going back and forth with the vendor who insisted my item had arrived, I figured out they had sent me a cheap flask and then they offered to refund 40% if I just accepted the flask. Instead, I filed a dispute with PayPal. I won't go into everything in this post but you can see in my other posts additional details. Nonetheless, I really can't understand how PayPal did not view this as a scam with so many people reporting the same story. Eventually, they requested a report from a law enforcement agency. I had already filed with the U.S. Postal Inspector and the FBI. Links are: U.S Postal Service Inspector (https://ehome.uspis.gov/fcsexternal/default.aspx) and FBI Cyber Crimes unit (https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx/). After submitting the FBI report, they immediately denied my claim. I was mad. So, I contacted PayPal using Chat. (Note: Another person in the PayPal Community had said Chat was successful for them). I provided them with the history of back and forth with the zeaqikstore, the PayPal Dispute Claim and the FBI report. Almost immediately, I received the credit. I don't know if it would have been so immediate if I hadn't already gone through the full process. However, it might be worth a try to start with Chat instead of filing a dispute which got me nowhere.
