Re: Killer deal on USB spectrometer!
That's very good to know. I myself have only had one negative experience
With an online store from Shenzhen, and one laser store (olike).
The store in Shenzhen knowingly sold a counterfeit ocilloscope
to me and shipped it in a plastic bag. The items screen broke and then
Vendor played games with me to refund my money. When I read them the riot act they simply ignored my mail.
PayPal stepped in and charged the vendor, I kept the item and got all money back. Olike experience was different and was dishonest for selling my customer data to other vendors. They spammed via email and through skype.
I will not be buying their product.
I had a bad experience with their PayPal transaction and the system had tied up my money for over a month.
The problem wasn't the price, it was only $70 USD plus $29 shipping.
The problem was that I tried multiple times to purchase and their system told me their was a problem processing my order through PayPal and to try again.
So I did, a few times in fact, but what was happening was that each time I tried, unbeknownst to me, they would lock up my funds each time I tried.
So it didn't look as though it was a successful transaction but my funds were being held up, multiple times.
I wasn't aware until I stoped trying (with my various CCs on my Paypal) that each time I tried, they had held my funds but no transaction was recorded.
I had never seen this before and when I contacted both my CC banks and Paypal, each one told me that it was the vendor that was holding the funds.
I contacted the vendor and he denied ever seeing the orders or the funds.
I was forced to put a reversal through my CC banks as PayPal was telling me that the vendor was lying to me and that they had my funds.
Unbelievable !!!!
Eventually after 4 weeks, with all my CC funds being held as pending, they all reversed one day and soon after the vendor stopped responding to me emails.
I am not willing to try it again, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and just say it was a weird glitch but PayPal was sure that they were not telling me the truth so be aware and proceed with caution.
