Verbal assurances are worthless. After years of using the service, I am utterly appalled by its "Buyer Protection." I fell victim to a clear "Bait-and-Switch" by an international seller. I provided undeniable photographic evidence showing that the items I received were flat, printed materials instead of the 3D knitted garments advertised. On December 11th, I spoke with a representative for 17 minutes and was VERBALLY ASSURED of several things: The case was escalated because the service is "fully aware" of this seller’s poor practices; they would contact the seller for a pre-paid return label; and if the seller refused, they would assist with return costs or ensure I wasn't out of pocket. Despite these recorded promises, the service reneged on everything. They closed the case in favor of the seller because I refused to pay a hefty return fee to send misrepresented items back overseas. Their "protection" is a myth. They allow fraudulent sellers to use punitive return costs to evade issuing refunds for misrepresented goods. Staff provide false hope and incorrect information just to get you off the line. I was even told they were aware of this seller and that if complaints persisted, the company would be removed from their listings. I have now closed my account after years of loyalty. If you value your money, do not rely on this service to protect you from international scammers. I am escalating my case to the relevant financial oversight authority.
