I am having such a problem with paypal right now that I'm probably going to close my account and honestly I feel like reporting all this to the FBI. I bought a pair of shoes from mallshoes.com for $20, which I thought was in the states. The website had the Paypal logo on it and I payed using paypal. So much for trusting sites that use paypal!!! Instead of shoes, I received a little plastic bag with some plastic bits in it in a small envelope from CHINA. I reported this to Paypal and started a dispute. Meanwhile I did some searching online and saw that people have been scammed by this same site (mallshoes, fashionshoes) since September!!!! People receive a bag or plastic bag from China, he mails something out so that there will be a tracking number of some kind that paypal can see. Even more disturbing is that as of now paypal has still not stopped doing business with them, so more people are getting scammed as we speak. I've seen complaints from people that have been scammed for over a hundred dollars! Paypal has ruled in my favor on the transaction, however they are requiring that I send back the "item" to the Chinese address via registered mail (min. $11 for a letter) and when they have proof of delivery I will get my refund. So now I need to spend more money to send bits of garbage basically, to a business which is fraudulent, for more than half of what I payed and I may still not get a refund. Who knows if the address is even good? It's like they are treating this complany as if is is legit. This is just outrageous! I've seen so many negative websites and stories about paypal in the last week that I'm planning to close my account before one of their fraudulent partners hacks it!
