I ordered a gift online, paid with PayPal. The site was a Scam. I have never been scammed before because I'm super careful but I was Christmas shopping and the website looked totally legit. I didn't do a Google search as I should have and got taken for $65. A quick search showed several "scam alert" sites listing this business as a fraud, so this isn't just my opinion or sour grapes over a negative experience. They are, literally, scam artists. I waited 2 months, wrote to them several times and heard nothing back. Eventually, I filed a claim with PayPal and PayPal then sent the seller, Mr. Li <removed> of www.nbaonlinejerseys.biz, a message notifying him of my dispute. ---Ok... perfect so far.--- He wrote back, via the dispute portal ON THE PAYPAL SITE, stating he shipped my item. We went back and forth a maddening amount of times. Mr. Li <removed> said he shipped it, I asked for tracking, he replied that I needed to be patient (I already waited 2 months). I'd call him a liar. He would never send the tracking info and then we'd go around again. I tired of his stalling games and didn't respond to his last BS shipping reply. A week or so later I logged on to PayPal to see why my money wasn't refunded and guess what? My dispute was closed. I contacted PayPal and asked what was going on. They told me I failed to ESCALATE the dispute within so many days of me filing my initial claim and they closed the dispute and let him keep the money. WHAT??? I thought that the seller's lack of proof and that there was no resolution between us WAS the escalation. PayPal opened the claim, they contacted him and they opened a message portal on the PayPal website for us to interact. It's not unreasonable to assume they were part of the process. I appealed to PayPal explaining my misunderstanding and they refused to help, basically telling me to sod off. This meant that Li <removed> got to KEEP MY MONEY. He stole from me, as he steals from everyone, and he GOT AWAY WITH IT, all facilitated by PayPal. I provided concrete proof of my assertions and attempts to fix the situation, he provided NOTHING and they let that slimeball keep my money. PayPal made money off the transaction, Li <removed> made money and I got nothing but wasted time. I have sent THOUSANDS of dollars - no exaggeration - through PayPal. Maybe $30,000 in 10 years. That's not a fortune but it's still a lot of money. And they gave not one $%*# about my problem. **bleep** You Paypal. And then **bleep** you again. I know you'll bleep me. So, just for kicks.. **bleep** you one more time. I'm canceling my account. You're outdated anyway. Boomer- mother bleepers.
