PayPal will not help you if you inadvertently buy a scam product.

I bought a TV light strip doodad for $20. What arrived was an empty box. It shipped from the US, but they wanted me to ship it back to China. PayPal could not have cared less. They agreed I needed to send it back to China. I escalated very far up their chain. Nothing.

Apparently this is a common scam and PayPal does zero to help.

I use my credit card with PayPal purchases, so I think a chargeback would cover that.
