Funny thing is Paypal does not allow a ": Item displute : I did not receive an item I purchased or the item I received is significantly not as described" with this firm through their Resolution Center. Is it so that Paypal site is overloaded with complains about this firm?

I ORDERED A BLUETOOTH ON THE 1ST OF OCTOBER 2013 BUT AS AT NOW NOTHING HAS BEEN RECEIVED AND EVEN IF U SEND THEM EMAIL, NOBODY WILL REPLY. I STRONGLY BELIEVE ITS A SCAM SITE AND PEOPLE SHOULD STAY AWAY FOR GOOD!

I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE AS THE HASSLE OF NOT HAVING MY IPAD FOR THREE MONTHS HAS NOT BEEN WORTH IT AT ALL!

Let's be real… when you buy from a foreign country, don't expect fast delivery.

"Where I can leave the review for you?
"Pls refer the below link:
"http://www.GadgetTown.com/testimonials.html
Or you can go to some public review website:
resellerrating.com, complaintsboard.com"
Moving on, the site gives the clear impression of being a Chinese affair due to its varying degrees of success with English, although it presents itself as American, based out of New York. The domain registration is hidden, so it isn't possible to tell who the real registrant is. But that in itself isn't convincing evidence of anything suspicious, since reputable businesses may also mask their ownership information.
And there isn't any conclusive evidence that this is not as it seems, a perfectly respectable US website. Well, not exactly conclusive, though you might want to take a look at another site, called "muchbuy.com", which is most definitely Chinese and which shares a remarkable similarity with gadgettown.com:
"Why buy from MuchBuy.com?
"Leading Inventory
"MuchBuy supplies a comprehensive source of high-quality merchandise and brand name products. Keeping long-standing relationships with numerous major manufacturers ensure that our customers will get better prices, better availability, and exclusive promotions."
and from gadgettown.com –
"Our Guarantee
"1. Leading Inventory
"GadgetTown supplies a comprehensive source of high-quality merchandise and brand name products. Keeping long-standing relationships with numerous major manufacturers ensure that our customers will get better prices, better availability, and exclusive promotions."
Oops.
And over at an entirely unrelated and legitimate site belonging to a company called Petra:
""Petra is a solution-oriented company, making it easy for retailers to stay in step with advancing technologies that span across multiple markets in the consumer electronics industry"
(http://www.petra.com/about-petra)
Whilst
"Headquartered in Brooklyn NY, US, GadgetTown is a solution-oriented company, making easy for customers to stay in step with advancing technologies that span across multiple markets in the consumer electronics industry"
(http://www.gadgettown.com/help/About-GadgetTown)
Frankly this is shaping up to be the sort of site I don't trust, so I wasn't too surprised to find it was owned by Gaingame, Inc, a chinese supplier currently involved in an intellectual property violation case in PA
(http://dockets.justia.com/docket/pennsylvania/paedce/5:2010cv04487/382021/).
This company is also behind yallstore.com and screenaid.com:
http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.yallstore.com
http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.screenaid.com
All of which share not only trading similarities, but also the same kind of broken-English reviews on Sitejabber. Do you think these might be a bit, well, phony?
