Molyes Store ilovecamping.us LIN JINRONG Bait and Switch Scam Shenzhen Guangdong China
Classic bait and switch. I ordered a 3-4 person automatic hydraulic tent with a very specific operating mechanism. After contacting paypal when item was not received and emails to seller bounced back, I finally got legitimate tracking order for a shipment. It was only then that it became known that this was being shipped from China. Received a small, very cheaply made (with low quality materials) pop-up tent instead. It had a totally different mechanism than the tent ordered. Contacted seller again through PayPal dispute resolution center. Did not receive a response. Escalated claim to PayPal. PayPal reviewed claim and approved a refund if I pay to return ship it.
Cost I paid for tent was $69.99. Return shipping will likely be about the same amount of money. Either way, scammer/seller wins. If I don't shell out the money to return, scammer/seller will keep my money in exchange for a low quality, lightweight item that cost almost nothing to make and ship tome. If I return the item, I will be out themoney for return shipping and the scammer/seller may still claim item is not received or not in its original state, thereby keeping my money in anycase. Having now read that this has happened to others, I am certain that this is a fraudulent website for the purpose of this scam.

The exact same thing happened to me! I filed a report with PayPal. Lin responded at first saying that I had to ship the small pop-up tent back by UPS in order to receive the refund. I went to UPS and they said it would cost over $600 to ship it back! I'm not spending $600 to get a refund of $69.99. So I escalated the claim with PayPal.
Now they say that I'm eligible for a refund, but I have to send the item back first and that I'm responsible for all shipping fees. I'm going to try to get more assistance on this, especially now that I found this site with all these other complaints.
