A Chinese scam has turned into an ebay scam. A Chinese seller posing as a US business sold be fake Milwaukee Batteies. I will not buy from China and the business is listed as being in Los Angeles. I received the batteries and immediately knew they were fake and asked for a return. The seller replied and said they were in China and could not supply a return shipping label. They wanted me to open a PayPal account and after I found out how much return shipping would be notify them for the label costs. There's no way I'm doing that and add to the scam. I notified ebay and they opened a case. After several chats and being told different things I finally was told to open a Paypal account and work with the seller in China ! This is foolishness. I appealed the decision and by phone was told the case has been decided in my favor and I would receive a full refund. I have not received the full refund and online ebay states my case has been extended to November 7th and to return the items to the seller. Ebay hasn't got a clue what they are doing and all this is a scam. I'm out $135 and several hours time and the Chinese got their mark. Ebay does not have buyer protection and their own site says the seller is responsible for the return shipping label. Now I'm responsible because it is a cross border sale. The seller listed as being US and eBay does nothing. There is no buyer protection on eBay, it's a scam too !
