@Temp20210221e Paypal is not an insurance policy, its a payment processor and gives you 'some' buyer protection. The onus is on you to risk assess your own transactions, and if you buy from a scam China website or Social Media ad then they 'may' be able to help you out dependent on the terms of buyer protection which you need to have read first. The BEST thing is to not buy from them in the first place, to recognise them - 1. No return address on the returns policy. The site will look as if its in your country (where they despatch goods from) but they will ask for returns to go back to China (returns depot) at a shipping cost often more than the item is worth. 2. No contact telephone number. if you click on contact the most you will get is webmail or an email address. 3. Rarely company address information. 4. Great pictures of items at bargain prices that turn out to be tat. 5. Fake reviews. 6. Google and you can often see previous company names as they change them once enough claims roll in and Paypal stop them using their services and start over. 7. Send fake tracking numbers to win item non receipt of item claims.
