I'm afraid the rather dishonest Mr Akif has got your money and the best you can hope to get back is 20% of what you paid. He'll try 10% first but hold out for 20. Of course, requiring you to return your goods to China doesn't tie in with UK trading law but he will claim it does because it's in the T&C's - it's not. A scam like that needs to be obvious at the time of purchase and it certainly isn't. Your best bet is to contact Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 0808 223 1133. The company that Akif has registered at Companies House is BM Ecom Ltd.UPDATE! You can probably get your money back using 'Chargeback' (I've done this) which is a card purchase protection scheme operated by Visa (and other cards) which can be accessed through your bank. The money will be returned from Mr Akif's bank which might be comforting to you but probably not Mr Atif :-)
