So I've bought some items from china, and two of them (different sellers) are not as described and not even close to what was pictured. One was a skirt and supposed to be medium brown and beige, not just photo but description said brown. it arrived jet black and cream, no brown anywhere, whatsoever. The other was a dress, and the fabric is totally different to what was pictured with an entirely different cut on the skirt. I learned my lesson about cheap chinese clothing...
I have contacted both sellers. And they want me to keep the items, offering 20% discounts. The items are unusable to me, the dress looks terrible on me, and the skirt is black, not brown, so does not suit any of the tops I bought it for. They are $12 and $20, so not really expensive items, but not $2 items either, $32 is a considerable sum of money for me right now coming up to christmas.
If they were australian I'd just lodge a paypal SNAD claim. My concern is, if I lodge a not as described claim with paypal for these chinese items, will paypal make me send them back, at my cost? I don't want to keep the items, I have no use for them, but with shipping the way it is, the cost of sending them back will be more than the items if I have to foot the shipping bill.
I am not trying to get something for nothing, I just don't want to spend more than the refund is worth trying to return two items which are not at all what I ordered. The dress could perhaps be explained as chinese fake **bleep**, but the skirt? it is not brown. in any way whatsoever.
