I thought that I warn you guys.
Have been scammed of some $43 recently and despite paypal payment, I can't recover the money.
The crooks use clever mechanics and hacked paypal accounts.

The order is marked with two weeks dispatch which gives them enough time to move the funds elsewhere.
Regardless, each payment goes to a different paypal account which is quickly drained.
Even when paypal blocks some of the hacked accounts, the crooks have plenty others.
Very slim chances of a refund.

The websites look legitimate but they are clones of real online stores. (not going to share the web addresses)

I am normally wary of online purchases and still got duped.
Take care.

Surely if you paid via goods and services paypal are legally obliged to refund you.

i thought so. yet, if paypal has no way of recovering the funds from the "seller", i will not see it.
