scammed on purchase

ldg_2

I bought a dress from an apparently uk based website and have since found out that it is based in China. I have not received the dress and it is now three weeks over the time promised for delivery. We are over the 45 day period that paypal can open a dispute and the amount of money is £94.00 which is under the section 75 limit. Is there any action I can take to get my money back?

Very unlikely

I wonder if (Mastercard or Visa) chargeback may be an option?

How does that work?

Actually it may not work, according to...

...depending on if you loaded the Paypal account first or not?

Have you tried contacting them by email or just waiting for it to turn up.

Tried contacting by e-mail, phone and live chat, as well as waiting for it to turn up!

Have just read the details and since I haven't pre-loaded I think this might be the way to go. Thanks a lot for such a helpful reply.
