Post Received Wrong Product/ Possible Scam!

I fell for an advertisement posted on a social media platform for the compact SSD thumb drive - a choice of 1tb or 2tb. So I placed my order for the 2tb compact SSD thumb drive for $34.99. Although I knew it was coming from China, I still thought that was a good deal. I waited patiently for it to arrive (3 - 4 weeks), received the package today (Nov. 25, 2019) and was excited to see the compact 2tb SSD thumb drive. However, it turned out to be an 8gb thumb drive instead! And on the front label of the envelope, it states the value is 18.00 U.S. dollars! Come on now! This is bad business, no matter where you're from! I will be returning this product through PayPal since that was my payment method. Oh, and another thing, I tried to view the original item by clicking on the "View your order" hyperlink that's provided in the email notification, and I get "Page not found"! Bad way to do business!

you should stay away from those small websites. Our statistics shows 95% scam are caused in these non-name websites. If you want find good deal from China sellers, the best solution is to buy from big website such as ebay,aliexpress, amazon, WISH. I am not saying such website has no cheaters, but the chance is much lower in big websites, and most important thing is that you can easily get money refund when you find the seller is cheater (normally they will be banned immediately by the big websites if you report them cheating).
