Classic bait and switch. Seller: LIN <removed> I ordered a 3-4 person an automatic hydraulic tent with a very specific operating mechanism. After contacting paypal when item was not received and emails to seller were never returned. I finally got legitimate tracking order for a shipment. It was only then that it became known that this was being shipped from China.   Received a small, very cheaply made (with low quality materials) pop-up tent instead. It had a totally different mechanism than the tent ordered. NO hydraulic system at all. Horribly wrapped. Contacted seller again through PayPal dispute resolution center. Did not receive a response. Escalated claim to PayPal. PayPal reviewed claim and approved a refund if I pay to return ship it.  EVEN THOUGH THE SELLERS FAKE WEBSITE RETURN POLICY SAYS THEY WONT ASK THE BUYER TO RETURN THE PURCHASE IF SHIPPING IS GREATER THAN THE COST OF THE PRODUCT. BUT, IF you file a claim with PayPal all that means nothing.  THAT IS THE SCAM. The seller knows that ppl wont PAY to send back the crap he sent.  WIN WIN for LIN <removed>   Cost I paid for tent was $59.99. Return shipping would have been $79. Either way, scammer/seller wins. If I don't shell out the money to return, scammer/seller will keep my money in exchange for a low quality, lightweight childs item that cost almost nothing to make and ship to me. If I return the item, I will be out the money for return shipping and the scammer/seller may still claim item is not received or not in its original state, thereby keeping my money in anycase. Having now read that this has happened to others, I am certain that this is a fraudulent website for the purpose of this scam.   What does it take for PayPal to address an obvious scam? Just put this sellers name in the search area and you'll see that this guy just keeps stealing.    He sells off: (removed by moderator)   Kids toy, no hydraulics, no instructions This shipped, no box, wrapped in plastic sophisticated hydraulic advertised cylinder carrying bag as seen on his website ...
