If you did not receive your goods, you are lucky. You can then have PAYPAL make the seller to reimburse you. But the way SHIXI usually makes his money is in sending you a stupid low-value gizmo. Then when you want your money back because this is not what you ordered, PAYPAL "settles" the deal this way: the seller with credit your account ONCe he receives the gizmo he sent you! of course, you must prove that he received it. ANd how do you do that? By requesting the Post Office to send it asking for a receipt. From Montreal to CHina, the cost is 59$ and will take 3 months. Unless I want to pay 125$ to send it by plane. That was the cost for a 8cm X 6cm X 5,5cm box. And I paid 48$ for my order. Tried to argue with PAYPAL for the stupid decision, but could not find an email address where to send my complaint. Finally I attached it to one of the tools. They answered that the decision is final, they will not give me my money back. Please note that in Quebec province, it is illégal to ask the buyer to pay for the return in such circumstance. Which did not stop Paypal to try to force me to pay for that. I really wonder if PAYPAL gets a quota on these questionnable sales. Anyway, I called MasterCard, explained the case (they were not really impressed by PAYPAL...) and I got my credit within 5 minutes. What is the lesson to keep in mind? Check first where you order from. If the cost for returning the goods is more expensive than the goods themselves, forget it. Keep it inside your continent. Also, do not trust PAYPAL that much. Over 110 people got fooled by this chinese company, and PAYPAL did not help, nor cooperate to advise people that this was risky or to get your money back. spread the word to help others not to get trapped.
