Hi just asking for assistance or idears my friend recently bought a kite new from an internet kite shop in Egypt they only take paypal they have no contact number no email address only way to contact them is click cotact and fill out the box and they get back to you that way any way the package arrived and they were not kites but small parcel with hose and two ends wich plug into something so just trying to rip people of waiting on paypal refunds but is there any way to complain to someone or get there site on the net shut down as they must be doing this to a lot of people and causing grief and especially xmas time etc thanks

Have you tried punctuation in your messages? They probably passed out from not breathing reading the whole paragraph at once.
As NoBS says. Buy local. If a deal is way too good to be true, it usually is. As for dealing with Paypal, usually no issue with refunds if the seller does not respond with set timeframes, so you will get your money back. If you used Western Union on the other hand, the money is gone.
wow who'd have thunk an egyptian website with no contact details would be dodgy..
No one to complain to about dodgy websites. But PayPal are really good at sorting stuff out and resolving issues though can take a bit of time.
Just use websites that you know are legit.
Why buy local?
Customer service is rubbish.
Selection and whats available is terrible.
Product knowledge most of the time is non existent.
Prices are ridiculously expensive.
This isn't just kite shops but retail in general.
I buy online all the time for pretty much everything.

You didn't order a Rebel by any chance......
Your welcome.
i think i got your friends kite. i will swap it for the return of my hookah you recieved by accident ;)
but seriously show us pics of your 1k$ bong or whatever you got
I got scammed by Chinese ebay seller on makita 18v power tool battery. It was a third of the price of original, advertised as genuine, so I knew it was either dodgy or a copy. Idiot me ordered 2 so splurged $60. When the tracking number seemed dodgey and postage time was extended beyond paypal dispute time, I immediately lodged dispute with ebay and paypal. Received full refund. 100's of people were scammed. No batteries were ever sent. I was lucky, getting refund early, but a lot of others dipped out as they just closed their paypal account. They were a power ebay seller with 99.9% positive reviews.
You're not going to get much sympathy here. Fact is though we all buy some products online now. You have to weigh up the risks. Your options are lodge a paypal dispute, and/or contact fair trading.

I'd say it was a 'friend' too if I'd done something that stupid....are you for real, man I'd love to know exactly what deal you thought you were getting. This has to be a piss take right?
I did not purchase this item someone I know did and was just putting it up here so other people did not make the same mistake and wanted to know if anyone new how to get their website shut down to stop the scammers they will be geting a paypal refund in this case
Post the website, we can play with them! They'll end up shutting it down themselves
