I think I have bought from a fake online store. First time after 15 years of internet use. : /

[OzyOly]

I never thought it would happen to me, but I think I have been ripped off by an online store http://www.dchub.co.uk/

I ordered on the 9th and have not heard anything since my order confirmation. I've emailed them numerous times but they haven't replied and there is no phone number listed.

I paid by palpal so I'm hoping I get my money back, but I have never had anything like this happen to me before. how do I go about claiming money back, do I have to wait a certain amount of days or something?

Thanks guys, I feel like a prat.

You are. That website is poor at best, how did you end up buying from it?

It's only been 2 days? You never know.

I was desperate to get a power supply for an old monitor. I wouldn't normally bother but I need this old monitor as I'm developing an embedded system and I can only output 1200x1024 max resolution over VGA and my newer monitors wont work with it.

Hopefully, I'll give it a few more days then I'll contact paypal. I'm definitely going to be more careful from now on though.

What's wrong with their site?

I hd a quick look and TBH, it could be fake but seeing as they seem to have good ebay feedback, i'd say it is fine

Power supplies is a unusual thing to scam though, you'd expect something more popular. Saying that, people can really do it to anything I guess.

What's wrong with their site?

It just looks, unprofessional in my opinion, added to the fact that I have spotted more than one punctuation/spelling mistake.

Professional websites don't suffer spelling and punctuation errors!

I've ordered a laptop battery from one 10x worse than that, and it still arrived eventually. I wasn't bothered as PayPal will just refund it if its dodgy (as it happened it wasn't and my battery turned up 2 days later!).

They tend to be hastily set up by eBay merchants.

Not saying that, just something I noticed.

unprofessional in what way?

Only silly little things like "uk" instead of "UK" and the way the brand name pages are laid out, in my opinion the text is just way to small ect.
Looks it just my opinion and it means nothing.
