It's no problem. If it turns out okay, you simply close the dispute as if it was never filed. It's actually better to open it early, since they'll run you through hoops for months trying to get the dispute resolved.

Honestly, if it turned out to be a scam, I would go directly to my bank and forget PayPal. A bank is going to provide you much better service and more protection in solving the problem than PayPal.

If this is a scam all id have to do is cancel the card i used to order with and get a new 1 right? I don't have to mess with any other cards or the account itself right?
 
I used my cc safety feature "shop safe" for all my online cc dealings as it generates a random card number that can only be used at that merchant and that merchant alone and you can set the amt limit as well as the expiration of the card

cant be too safe

With that said, I just received a shipping confirmation with a number but no link to follow tracking nor who it is being shipped by......so I dunno what to think
 
I just received a shipping confirmation email, but it has no courier information, tracking, etc. It's actually identical to the order email, except it says shipping instead of order confirmation.

Since I've posted so much on potential scamming, I'll be sure to update everyone if it arrives.

My confirmation is not identical to my order number fwiw
 
That is a cool feature for your CC. I haven't heard of that. Which brand is it?

I checked my shipping/order confirmations and PayPal is definitely safer to use than a straight bank account or CC through the website. At least they only get my address and email that way and not the important financial numbers.

My cc is through Bank of America

Here is more on Shopsafe from BoA's website fyi. I really like it alot as it gives peace of mind for instances like this

To think I used to make online purchases with my debit card a few years ago with no protection at all shocks me.
 
Uh does that work with like the regular Visa/debit cards? for Bank of America i mean ofcourse.

From the link
Available only on Bank of America Visa and MasterCard accounts for customers who use our Online Banking service. Not currently available on Bank of America American Express accounts.

So I would think yes. Not sure about debit though. Just log into your card and go to your card services to see if it is an option
 
I emailed them today and they sent me right back a shipping confirmation!

That has no info on it...no tracking link, no carrier info, just a meaningless confirmation number if yours is anything like mine

by the way, does anyone find how they say
Thank you for your order from Main Website Store. If you have any questions about your order please contact us.
kind of weird?
Main Website Store? really??
 
Well it seems a lot of people including me got that shipping confirmation email (even though there's no tracking number in it). Hopefully when one of us gets the package (of full body films) it would be helpful to let us know here so we can dismiss the anxiety portion from this website.
