Sad to say I got scammed by the same con-artist ZG technology in late May 2018. I ordered 3 replica lightsabers through Facebook as advertised for US$128. When they arrived a month later (and not 7 days as promised) - I realised I was scammed. The goods sent were cheap Chinese knockoffs not worth $5 each. Only then did I google and learn about the scammer's notoriety. I read this paypal community page - and I saw a post advising to call PayPal Customer Service [<removed>] and report. The agent advised me to raise a claim for refund. After a couple of days I received a message from Paypal to return the items to a given address and make sure I have tracking on my post. I checked the return address on google maps and saw that it was a fake return address. I called Paypal again - and was told that it was ok - I just needed to send the items and make sure tracking was activated. It did not matter if the address was fake, Paypal would refund me the money if I return the items. I ask how about the postage costs. The agent told me how to obtain a postage refund as well. So I did follow the instructions - posted the items with tracking and sent the tracking number, as well as the claim for the postage refund. I received the postage refund in 3 days. And I watched the tracking - it took about 7 days for the item to leave Australia and reach China and sit in some facility. Then by the 10th day I received a message from Paypal that my claim had succeeded and they would refund my money. 2 days after that the full sum of US$128 was credited to my paypal account. Thus, whilst I am miffed that Paypal (and Facebook) still allows this known scammer to operate so blatantly, I must give kudos to PayPal for its refund process. Whilst it took some work getting through the refund process, I managed to get every cent refunded, as promised. The moral of the story is - always double check before buying something. If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
