Scurrilous Website

moonhareI worried that the garden supplies site I ordered from was a scam. But I found no negative comments online, it was an https site, it had a decent privacy section among all of its boilerplate policies, and it took PayPal: I trust PayPal for protection.
It was the great price for the item (a crop cage for my blueberries) that was borderline suspicious: not ‘too good to be true’ but so close. ‘Click click’ and I thought “Nice, I’ll get this in a week or so.”
The order confirmation was eyebrow raising, without site letterhead, the payee was an individual and not ‘the site,’ and I was *sigh* “Let’s see how this pans out.”
Cutting to the chase: after not getting any responses to my multiple inquires, over time, concerning the order progress, I submitted a claim against the site to PayPal, and PayPal refunded my $98 within minutes. Damn!
Thank you, PayPal. FU gardencheapest dot com!
