I used PayPal since 2006, because of the promise that I'd get my money back if I get scammed.
A few years ago I played a browser game, Game of Thrones Winter is Coming. Chinese company. I'm in the EU. In the EU we have laws and regulations, if someone tries to scam you, you usually get your money or the product.
The US has less support for the customer, aka the customer is in a worse place.
In China you as a foreigner have no support.
I bought a 20 eur package of Margery Tyrell, because I like the way she looks. I thought when I buy I, I would have her in my collection and could use her as my avatar.
I bought it, but what I bought was 5 out of 10 requires tokens to unlock the base version of her.
So I paid 20 eur for effectively nothing.
It wasn't mentioned anywhere that I would need 10 tokens.
The next 5 tokens would cost 70 eur!
I wrote PayPal that this was a scam and that I wanted my money back.
The response was that I have no proof and the case was closed with no way of appealing.
I closed my PayPal account and will never return.
I will also never spend money on a Chinese game.
