Description
Tried to purchase a part for a repair and found the part listed with this company. Went to order it after sending an email to confirm it was still available and after getting a near immediate reply that it was i placed the order though PayPal. The next day the order showed to be completed but never received any shipping details or an invoice. Tried emailing the company again and again over the next wee and a half with no replies. Decided to contact PayPal and found out that when trying to open the invoice on their end they listed it as a scam. Ridiculous that they would allow a payment to that company and then when they couldn't generate an invoice that they would not have flagged the transaction and reversed it as it took me finding and reporting the concern to them. Being that the only contact info on the company's website is just the one email there is no way to determine its true location and doing a search provides no details either. Should have been a red flag I overlooked.
