This was my exact experience. I carefully gathered photos, receipts, and proof to submit a dispute to Paypal. Paypal required me to ship the inferior/ incorrect item to China as my only option. It would have cost $40! I stated that I did not ship it and Shenzhen refused to provide a pre-paid shipping label. Paypal replied that I LOST the dispute. I've used Paypal for TWENTY years and could not believe this. Paypal may as well have gone to China and made an announcement that this scam would be profitable and that Paypal would help. It's easy for any scammer: Step 1) Advertise item worth $40 - $50 at $30 Step 2) Accept $30 via Paypal Step 3) Mail out $5 item that is nothing like the $40 item you advertised Step 4) Refuse any refunds, except maybe $3 or $5 if the person is really pushy Step 5) Wait for Paypal to have your back - they want to make sure you keep your hard-earned $30 through your successful scam
