Legitimate Business?

I am looking to purchase something from overseas, India as a matter of fact an outboard motor for roughly $1100 with shipping it's a good deal but ALMOST too good.  They take paypal ... 

 

1. Am I covered if I get ripped off? 

 

2. Can PayPal tell me if they have had legitimate business with this store before?  

 

The name of the store is AutoMart Marine - automartmarine.com

Did PayPal ever answer this question. I have the same question about this company.

Has anyone gotten an answer from PayPal if this is a legitimate business or that they even have any relationship/problems etc with this company ?

i dont have a definitive answer but there's n o way i'm getting 2 honda EU2200I's, parallel cables, 2 extension cords and 2 covers for $800 bucks plus $100 shipping. go to trust pilot and reseller ratings.   I've been burned twice with all theses generator sites popping up. and was lucky to get a refund on one so far. the cheap ones on Wish are fake.  i've also looked into Indo generator, elite power tools, William best tools.  people have been not gotten a single generator they ordered to date.  check scamadvisor, trusrpilot and reseller ratings. dont trust there reviews entirely because these crooks are flooding the sites with bogus reviews. easy to spot though. also, dont think, because they accept paypal , they are a legit site. and dont think paypal will get you your money back, every time. I've had great luck with paypal with getting refunds for fraudulent sales. in fact, somewhere around 6 outta 7. the last, a generator dispute filed march 27th, on the Wish site is still in review and honestly doesnt look promising but they havent failed me yet.  I got a fake tracking number and a fake delivery confirmation that looks to be right from UPS.  except the delivery confirmation says a "1.1lb" parcel was delivered. no brainer,right?  generators dont weight 1 pound!!!   Wish is standing on the grounds that there is no refund when the item is confirmed delivered.

 

good luck generator buyers and be careful. you know the saying. if it's too good to be true, then it probably is.

At start of COVID and lack of Lysol and Clorox wipes etc, I purchased some from a website that uses PayPal thinking that if scammed PayPal will cover me, aaaand I got scammed and PayPal did nothing after repeated inquiries so I suggest to either open escrow account with your bank that pays the seller when your item arrives. But honestly it’s not worth it since you will loose the money.
