I purchased an item which was advertised on facebook - 2 kitchen storage units for nearly $64 AUD. I didn't receive anything from the seller. I however in the meantime received two cheap children utensil gift packs in the meantime in the mail. I raised the dispute with Paypal and the resolution team favoured the seller saying the product was delivered The seller even provided them the photo of the cheap four utensils as the product. What pay pal said they saw on tracking from seller the status delivered hence closed the case. But could the paypal resolution team not see on the invoice clearly the payment was for 2 kitchen storage units.??? I think i was scammed by the seller where they gave facebook advt and then made me pay for $64 for the storage units and then delivered me cheap utensils not worth more than $5. This way they can fool the Paypal integrity check system as the tracking system would show item delivered and Paypal would conveniently close the case. I checked the seller's website it is closed too and shows 404 error So I guess the seller carried a systemic fraud by understanding the Paypal resolution mechanism and used in his favour. In this instance I was a victim of scam (and I am sure there would have been others like me as well as that advt ran on facebook for a few days) and both seller an Paypal profited from it. Very disappointed. Thankfully it was only $64 that I got scammed off. So please be careful, just don't think making Payments via PayPal will lessen your exposure to scammers.
