I called my bank today and asked if there was anything I could do to get my money back because PayPal wasn't doing anything.  The guy helped me file a complaint with the Bank and told me to check back on Wednesday to see if I can get my money.  I hope I can but I've prepared myself that I also got **bleep** by the **bleep*!!!   Oh! I got a small car in my package when it was supposed to be 3 pairs of shoes. ... View more

They got me on Thanksgiving like this.  They advertised a "Black Friday Sale" like they were a shoe company with a BIG sale.  The shoes sale regularly at $130 per pair but they were on sale for $39 per pair with a limit of 4 pairs.  I bought 3 pairs for a total of $117.  I wanted to be "Safe" so I paid the transaction through PayPal.  When the transaction was paid it immediately gave me a receipt for payment of $99.85 and had Chinese writing as the business.  I immediately started trying to cancel the transaction and PayPal would not cancel it because it showed as "Complete".  On December 4th I got a tracking # and thought "Oh! Maybe they weren't able to send all 3 pair and maybe this was for 2 pair with shipping and tax or something???"  Well, I got notification today that the package was in our mailbox at my office.  I was a little confused because the mailbox is not big enough for 1 pair of shoes much less 2.  When I got the mail it was a small 2 1/2 x 4 mailer package with a plastic toy car in it.  PayPal will not let me dispute this transaction now due to it "Not being what I ordered" because I previously tried to dispute the transaction when I say the Chinese writing and the amount did not match.  I am sooooo upset with PayPal.  I will never use them again, nor will I recommend them nor any of their other products to anyone.  They are just as bad as the scammers and they should be ashamed of themselves!!! ...
