I just bought a leaf blower from The Bobo, and I'm concerned it may be a scam.. My question is if it is a scam can PayPal do anything about it?

This site is definitely a scam and I've already opened a dispute against them so that Paypal can help get my money back. I urge you all to do the same thing. Not only will you not receive the item, it will never ship out to you. LESSON LEARNED!

I also opened a claim and was denied they sided with the seller. The seller that sent no confirmation of purchase or tracking info and no product

Oh wow! That's unfortunate but at least I know what to expect.

I hope it works out for you!

Try calling PayPal! There was one time I opened a claim and they closed it without doing anything so I called them and they were confused because the seller actually filed a return on my money but canceled it - PayPal apparently didn't see the cancellation and closed the case thinking it was resolved. Once I pointed that out,they got it resolved instantly.

You can also try going through your official bank. I ordered on a different site not long ago that didn't let me use PayPal. The bank actually contacts their bank to get it resolved - live people working to protect your money versus a computer.

what a level of scam ... they give PayPal the epackage tracking number which there is no way a leaf blower would fit in an epackage to stall PayPal to be able to do anything for weeks. this is a loophole they use ... take lots of time for us to be able to get our case closed. SMH.

PayPal issued me a full refund after I presented all the evidence that it was a scam. According to the bogus tracking number that was given to me, my package is still sitting in China waiting to be shipped. I think the bobo website is inactive now. Good riddance.

I also ordered from bobo a dewal tool set and I received a tracking number but its still sitting in china and it is to big of a package to be shipped through regular mail smh I hate that they got me and I did it through guest so I'm getting a run around with paypal
