you should be able to get your money back through paypal email paypal and/or open a dispute

 

Paypal will have the transaction details if they carried out the money transfer. If you file a complaint with Paypal, then they'll be on the case for you.

 

How do you tell if the receipt is fake?
Also report that site to everything.
Everything

 

I did a fake purchase to check it out.

When you had your personal details in, I saw no https on the address, that's one bad sign already.

I just stuffed in some random things into the details to go to the Paypal bit to see if there's anything fishy about that, and Paypal had a page saying:-

"This recipient is currently unable to receive money."

So there's an update concerning that site.

 

if you paid through paypal, you should be able to see the transaction details on your paypal account.

 

Aww man. You should have asked us if anyone has ever heard of or bought from them just to be cautious.

 

perhaps someone should make a sticky thread warning people about these types of sites. listing scamming sites.

 

log into your PayPal account.



Look for the transaction on that --^ page.

Report the transaction to PayPal, and you'll get your money back.

If you don't see the transaction on that page, go to your History, and find it there... if it's not there, then either your PayPal wasn't charged, or your trying to scam us...

 

apparently, they got other people also, a couple for wii, and ps3, once I get my money from paypal I'll let you guys know, they are investigating right now, in the mean time it would be awesome if one you guys would make a sticky about reputable,and scam electronic sites, I think that would help a lot of people

 

You should cancel any paypal payment after 48 hours of a site (especially one that looks that bad) if they do not make contact saying they received your order and gave you a valid receipt or come sort of confirmation. Unless its a non-power seller on ebay, give them at least 4 days before stopping payment.

You don't need a receipt number for them, you need the paypal transaction id to cancel it.

Paypal usually takes the side of the buyer, if the seller can not prove they sent something (anything) to you. But even then, three weeks is pushing it.



But yeah, buying from them in the first place was really stupid. You could of at least googled the site. Seriously whats with people's first thought being "I know I'll ask on some forum!" before even bothering to find out on their own. (also lol @ irony of yahoo answers being on the front page 3 times when searching http://www.shopinelectricals.com/ asking if its a scam)
