Been frauded by CheapOTC.com

I purchased 3 50-g tubes of Mederma from CheapOTC.com. The company never shipped the items. When I threaten to report this to BBB, the company gave partial refund. About 15 CAD was lost/stolen.

Stay away from them and tell anyone you know. I know it was stupid of me.
First, the price was too good too be true.
Second, the web site looks cheap and unprofessional.
Third, only accept PayPal as the method of payment, instead of accepting credit cards.
Fourth, have no actual address or phone number.

On the bright side, only 15 CAD was lost, could have been worse. And hopefully, I've learned my lesson this time.

STAY AWAY FROM THEM! I was up late and that's why I made such a terrible mistake. Remember, never make an impulsive purchase!

Frauded by cheapOTC, Paypal doesnīt do anything

Hello:

My case is similar to the case above. I bought some items from cheapotc and I havenīt received anything. I paid using Paypal that I suppose it was a secure way to transfer my money. After some time I tried to talk with Paypal and this is his advise
----------
Although this dispute is not eligible for negotiation in the Resolution
Center, we will note that you were dissatisfied with this seller.
Sellers who have unusually high complaints are investigated.

We encourage you to work directly with the seller to resolve this
matter. Most sellers welcome the opportunity to work out problem
transactions and handle customer concerns.
------------------

At the end they havenīt made anything. So what I am going to post my case in every website to make the people know that Paypal doesnīt do anything in case you are frauded by people like cheapotc.

Regards,
Mario.

I'm surprised that this f**** website still exists. Too bad, neither Paypal nor Google would do anything about it.

Is there a way to add cheapotc.com to resellerratings list? Hopefully this s*** will eventually get caught and get what he deserved.

Welcome to RR.

The BBB (Better Business Bureau) is a a non-legal entity that works as a mediator in disputes with merchants. The complaint cycle usally takes 30-35 days. The BBB report for this company shows two complaints in the last 3 years, both resolved. So in looks promising. You can file a complaint at https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/GetStarted.aspx.

The BBB will contact the company and get back to you. If the BBB cannot help you, or if you choose not to use them, then it will come down to your method of payment. If you used a credit card you can do a charge-back for non-delivery of goods.

The review page here at RR shows a 0/10 rating. However they have only one review. You can leave a review here also, Please note the WEB SITE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE AGREEMENT, notably the 16 points listed.

Nomaxim:

Amazing... Four complaints in a thread about a company, but only one
review. Why doesn't that surprise me?

And people wonder why these sites continue to exist.
