I did send it back to the address YOU provided (to avoid misunderstandings) and it came back as UNCLAIMED. What else am I supposed to do? It was unclaimed because the address was wrong? It was unclaimed because the seller didn't care to pick it up when notified? It all is beyond my power, I did what I needed to do, I SENT IT BACK! Do you want me to bring it back myself?
I've been scammed by an unscrupulous seller and you are not protecting my purchase.
They answered:
We have reviewed this transaction(s) and are denying your claim(s). This decision was made because we did not receive valid proof or tracking that you returned the merchandise.
*I even sent photos of package with Chinea post office stickers, they responded I can't send attachments? what the hell is going on?
Never have I been treated so poorly.

They also scam customers as "xdeal2013" too. I have been fighting with them for almost 4 months now. This has been my worst online shopping experience in years. eBay and PayPal got their money, so they couldn't care less about the little guy who got shafted in the deal.

Chinatera Limited have told PayPal that they are located in Hong Kong, but this might not be true. Items posted by Chinatera Limited have been shipped from various locations, including these two as stated on the packages ; <removed> Neither of the above addresses state the items were shipped from Hong Kong. The first appears to have come from China and the second from Thailand. Exactly where are Chinatera Limited based or are they providing PayPal with a false location?

I have made 3 separate orders from Chinatera Ltd first took 22 days to UK and 2nd 21 days. So far the other oder is only 19 days old so I am not concerned. Even before this Coronavirus problem some items would easily take 3 weeks or more to arrive from China and Hong Kong. It's their customs that hold things up.
Add the problem of the virus and reduced flights around the world, less staff in customs and their own despatch teams aand further delays are unavoidable. Lots of people are ordering items. We all want to try new hobbies Be patient. Paypal do care, they are not being complacent about claims. They probably have reduced staff (everywhere does), but allowing companies reasonable time before starting unnecessary claims for refunds. I know here in UK there have been very few flights allowed in from any part of the world, especially Asia. How else can Chinatera ship their goods? If coming by sea it could be months in transit, and pigeon post is even worse.
i've been lucky with 3 weeks. Not sure what country you are in, so try checking if your airports are moving at all. Most are in Lockdown dont forget. I know its hard but don't give a company a bad name until proven guilty.
