Complaint Review: www.xx-shoes.com

I ordered a pair of shoes approx 5 weeks ago from www.xx-shoes.com otherwise known as "Style Shoes" and never received the shoes. The 'submit' button on the 'contact us' portion of their website doesn't work. I've tried contacting the email addresses listed on paypal (where I paid) and have had no success. There are reports online that the owner of the site is the same owner of previous sites: angela-shoes.com and mallbabashoes.com... both of which turned out to be scam sites and shut down. They were, however, both entitled "Style Shoes" as well. Apparently all of these sites are operated in China and some report receiving cheap paper bags and mousepads after 1-2 months instead of ever receiving their shoes. We actually (exactly 1 month later) received a tiny, plastic, pink change purse with a photo of a laughing, asian cartoon character and some Chinese writing on the front. I would value this at 10 cents very generously. There are numerous reports of the previous sites as scams, but a few of them indicate that this is a new site operated by the same folks. I submitted a resolution request with paypal and it has been escalated for review in order for me to receive a refund. My first claim was denied, but I have submitted an appeal with PayPal. Hoping for a refund!
