    My order from caosuyun226-6 is still stuck in China, but people are starting to give him bad reviews for no shows. So I started my resolution process.

    On a similar note, my order from kefeilgz2225 is still in Speedpak limbo since late September (ordered on the same day as caosuyun226 during the 15% special)
    is he still legit?

    I'd contact orangeconnex.com on their help page and message them (with Google translate if you don't speak Chinese) to see what happened to it. They were the only ones to tell me my Caosuyun226-6 order was seized by customs.

    Is PayPal at this point familiar with these kind of situations happening to people with Chinese sellers on eBay? Meaning is there a lot of explaining required sellers going rouge...I’m getting concern I may be next....

    Thanks in advance:)

    I've never used them before so I can say off personal experience with them. I don't see any glaring red flags on the surface. You may want to check the list and ask around or run a search on this thread.

    I believe @Pessimus Prime and @pilot00 bought from him before.

    I just now saw the above message, after placing an order with seller "mengxiao_cn" as well. Unfortunately, I did not see the message until AFTER I had already paid. Also the selling listing disappeared after I had purchased i....Hmmmm not looking too good.

    Will see if I hear anythign from the seller over the next 2 days.

    Would this be a good indication to start calling PayPal about getting a refund before it’s too late?

    I bought and received MMC PS-09 Ocular Max - Hellion from that seller. I received it about 2 weeks ago.

    I just discovered this thread. Man, I love this website. So, I was considering buying from 3 sellers, but the deals looked too good, so I’m glad I checked here.

    Mengxiao (who has now been removed), caosuyun226 (with negative feedback getting jacked up), and s30105 - anyone know if this one is legit?
    Thanks.

    How were you able to request a refund???

    @transformer_78

    Neeed your help......

    When I try to contact the seller through Ebay and list the Item#, it gives an error stating it is an invalid number.

    If I try to contact the seller through paypal, I cannot see an email address there to contact

    How did you contact the seeler... Mine is: mengxiao_cn
