I reported this site to PayPal and they still accept payments to this day (opens in new tab)

They did not even bother to change anything

- the email to something more trustworthy, they use cong513489038@gmail.com and a295224870@gmail.com and others on different pages - the domain in the privacy policy is linking to carvemyname.com but the title on hover is getphotopuzzle.com which both are not the actual site - the title of the site is "BESTSHOP" and the domain is personablee.com - On the footer, they did not even manage to write "Renfund Poilcy" correctly - The site was first seen as a facebook ad, i can't verify if the ad is still running but i reported that one to facebook aswell - The number they have on the bottom is from the "London School of Economics..." - and many more issues

I am sure you all noticed the cheap prices :)

Clickbaity title.

To this day makes it seem a really long time, but author is here and claims it is just a few days.

This would be slightly less appalling if PayPal weren't so ban-happy towards people and organizations who weren't actually doing anything wrong. But as it stands, their false positive rate and false negative rate are both unacceptably high.

Last November I did an impulse buy for a Breville coffee machine on a site. It was one of those "countdown" super sales. One hour later after the purchase I contacted the seller and he refunded me the paypal... fortunately. But the site definitely looked scammy. I notified Paypal and Shopify. It's so easy nowadays to create nice looking sites in a platform like Shopify that will give a veneer of legitimacy. Anyway, that scammy site is gone. I wonder how many fell for this one. I should have checked how soon the site was taken down.

When did you report this site to PayPal?

I too had a similar situation with PayPal. When I filed a complaint they rejected it because the fake seller was able to produce shipping information. They send a letter (or empty package) to some address in your city but not your actual address so that the item shows as delivered. If you look closely you will see that your actual address is never shown in the details.
