This is horrific. Fake GPUs are one thing but this shows that Wish sellers have hit a whole new low.
As soon as wish started spamming me emails, I knew it was trash. Cancelled 5 mins after creating account
Wish is a plague to consumers
@@thealien_ali3382 Well yeah. Also people buying something so much cheaper then it should be and not think, hmm that's not right! Are a plague to all consumers.
@@Nemesis-pe7mw sorta sounds like you are partially defending the scammers
I buy stuff off wish lmao, just random shit that looks cool never anything expensive or any electronics
Chinese pc components be like: core i4-9530k 7 cores, gtx 1090ti 10Gb, DDR7 16gb ram, 600W 80+ iron
16gb? You mean 17gb. It's 2019 after all. And the psu is 110+ iron
Szabolcs Mate lmao true
80+ iron AHAHHAHAHA
wtf
80+ plastic
WISH should be CLOSED DOWN
content creators and media should just keep promoting wish as "wanna try getting scammed?" site, making sane people go away, and let wish closed due to bad rep and no customer.
@@josuad6890 I'm pretty most wish customers are youtubers deliberately trying to get scammed at this point.
@@ultrademigod tru dat
@Hagrid Wells are you okay you should probably talk to someone
Wish Should not be shut down the seller should be sued for selling fake products.
Yikes! At least they sent me a fake card that kinda worked, not a PCIe-killer with an HDMI-powered fan.
Me too lmao
You bought this??
@@postnutregret he's a youtuber, so it's at least for entertainment value
LTT did something like this with 3 cards and they were extremely lucky holy moly...

hint if it has a vga port it's a scam gtx 1060's do not have vga just saying🤣🤣
As a PC technician that has done this job for over 15 years... I have always popped customers parts into my personal rigs to test if parts are working... Guess that has to stop.
why don't you have a backup PC ready at any time?
@@akeiaiI was born in the third world man... I cant just have a tinkering pc available at all times. Things are hard here.
@@Skitzotech where is this third world place you speak of??
@@Interloper322 the southern US
@@HighEX-ww7sx Hmm. Been to Alabama. People take a car everywhere (even from shop to shop with connected parking lots). I've been to third world countries as well and I say HELL NO, SIR!
They think that by frying the host computer the buyer will be less likely to identify the fake card.
exactly what it is
It really shows how ill logical they are. wish can be accessed on smart phones and people have access to the internet world wide . Even in 3rd world countries, trust me I've been to a few.
The OP is right. I think the "designer" logic behind this is that by frying the whole computer, instead of just having the card not work, the designer/Wish could always say: "It doesn't mean that the problem is the card, it might be just a coincidence and it could be your motherboard/Ram/CPU etc the problem instead. Not "that" stupid from a scammer perspective come to think of it...
Instead of having just the GPU defective, thus making it easy to pinpoint, make the entire computer defective and drown the problem so to speak...
I know how stupid? The buyer would be less likely to pursue them over a 40$-50$ GPU that they probably knew wasn't legit from the get go, but fry there PC? That would cause more of a uproar how stupid
@@airway_gaming4484 Yeah but technically, it could have been something else that happens to fry the PC right when you just installed a new GPU, and they could get away with it.
Not a USB killer but a chipset killer RIP test computer :(
RIP I LOVE THIS GUY NO HOMO X
lol turns out it didn't even kill the computer, just screwed the BIOS or something, he got it running again. This guy seriously knows jack shit about computers and electronics except for how to buy and stack hardware up behind him because that's what other youtubers do and it makes people think you know your stuff, and maybe he can use use a multi-meter at a basic level. Hell he even deleted a section of the video because he was completely wrong about what he was saying in that part.
Probably more chance of killing your PC from listening to a guy like this than from a GPU bought from Wish. The GPU probably worked but was improperly branded and he probably broke it himself messing about with it. lol dude even just sticks mothers boards straight on the bench, no test bed or anything.
He is a short circuit waiting to happen.
@@TheCunningStunt Sure mr intelligent
@@TheCunningStunt sounds like youre the wish seller lmfao
@@BitMan1010 but I'm not. I work in IT and create youtube content on my main account. I just call shit as I see it.
I have removed the part of the video with the current tracing. As many of you have commented it is completely incorrect.
Also in addition, I was able to just get the motherboard to boot with lots of problems, I believe the CMOS is damaged and requires multiple attempts of pressing the clear CMOS button and then the power button in odd orders every single time to boot. The PCIE Slot is still unusable and my 3570k is complete toast.
January 22nd 2020 Update:
It looks like the BIOS was corrupted as many of you suspected which fixed the booting problem. With the 3570k it still will not boot and the top pcie slot is finicky. It doesn’t like large cards for some reason.
Thanks for being honest. To be upfront: I was more freaked out that the fans spun when you plugged in the HDMI cable! 5 volts at (I think I read) 50mA? That's 'nuf to fry some things or atleast make them crispy.
@@cwilson6365 I wouldn't be to concerned with the fans turning on from only plugging in an HDMI cord. My 1080 will also turn on the fans when I only plug a monitor that has CEC (basically switches inputs and provides power when plugged into something) into it while its sitting on my table not in a motherboard. It takes that 5v from the monitor and it can hit pins on the card that will turn on the fans. I'm not going to test this on my 2080ti but I would imagine the same thing could happen. As far as this one being completely worthless I agree. But I wouldn't judge a card just because the fans turn on. That 1080 I have still functions just fine. It did also freak me out when it happened but after some research I discovered it was fairly common. Too bad about the poor 3570k and that PCIE slot though :-(
@@Nilboggen this is power leakage, the HDMI standard uses a 5v lane to send 5v 55ma from the source to the reciver, when the gpu is not pluged on the mobo, the current leak to the gpu, but nothing to concern about they probabily just used a wrong resistor or diode value, but in the "1060ti" case it probabily has no safety, and i doubt they follow the correct way to make the HDMI circuit, what happens is that the HDMI was leaking current to the gpu 5v circuit and when he powered up the computer it shorted the 5v lane of the gpu to the pci-e, and as the first pci-e slot is the direct pci-e to the cpu, it fried the pci-e slot and shorted the cpu
@@memerscrazer oh I totally agree I just wanted to point out that the fans spinning up when a gpu is only plugged into a hdmi cord shouldn't be a major concern / red flag. Although does it mean there is something wrong with my 1080? Like a bridged resistor or diode issue? I mean its performance doesn't seem to have any issues but I don't want to accidently frag a cpu/pcie lane someday since it is still a rather relevant gpu and I do still use it in systems albeit not my daily driver. I am not an expert by any means.
The GPU blasted the CPU which in turn could of damaged the RAM or PCH. This is the only scam GPU to do this so my guess is the graphics card damaged from shipping and somehow sends 12v power to pcie/cpu.
They probably brick your pc so you cant find out the GPU they sold you was a dud
Yup it's not the card see. A power surge fried everything.
It's really diabolical. Some of those no-name Chinese brands seem to have frighteningly cynical business practices.
I think what they did was sell a fake card then when you try to get a refund they blame the fucked motherboard
This video is uploaded in 4K60 5 hours ago. TH-cam has yet to allow for it to stream in anything other than 360p.
good morning youtube =D 1080P
I watched it in 720p (my standard setting - I checked this while the video was running). Wish is an awful website and no-one should buy anything from it imo
Watching in 1080p 60fps, well done sir.
Here's a tip. Upload your video and make it private for about an hour. Then make it public. Then TH-cam will have the other quality settings available

2, 4, 6, 8

@@mrcobalt124 I was singing this in my head, "What size do you appreciate" instead though, before I clicked viewed replies. Just too funny
@@shawnyoung5960 lol
But just think about it: some kid is looking to upgrade from his gt 710, and he's heard from linus tech tips that the 1060 is a good card. He knows that TI means the card is better, and he sees this at a cheap price and doesn't mind how long it takes. It gets there, he's super excited and installs it- then finds his pc is broken. He tries to contact the seller, and either they don't respond or they tell him he did something wrong and they can't give him a refund. The scammers keep their money and there's no way for this kid to prove that it was the card that broke it.
Man, that is messed up. I was like "WTF?" when the fans started spinning with only an HDMI cord plugged in. I knew that couldn't be good lol.
The sad part is most people won't test it outside their case to even notice this. They will get it, pop it in and press the power button. Esp people buying electronics off of Wish, safe to say they aren't the most experienced when it comes what they are actually buying. They will just see "Oh a 1060 or 1080 for 40 bucks!, RIP all those fools that paid hundreds for them!"
They weren't even generous to an LED in the circuit.
I don't know anything about computers and even I know you don't buy computer parts off of wish especially for cheap prices like that. Even if the price seems right I would still get it from more reputable sources😢@@junkiexl86
get it for your enemies as a gift of "peace"....
lol 🤣
"how dare you"
@@jio3863 want one?
I know someone who deserves this card.
@@shawnyoung5960 the graphics card he deserves, but the graphics card he needs...
Do you remember when Wish was actually a good thing where good deals could be made?
Pepperidge Farm remembers..
You need to contact wish, send them the video explaining that the card was designed to destroy the system and demand full compensation and make a new video about how that went.
Wish should be closed down it's full of scammers and nothing more and stores like that should be under investigation by UK law as this is illegal.
@@Adkatka Good luck with that one. Why do you think there are so many counterfeits openly sold from China? Because the big companies with all their money and legal teams cant touch them.

Maybe mention that you may seek the advice of an attorney regarding class action against all involved parties including WISH.

i love how the first 2 minutes and 30 seconds his background are legos and then once he gets the GPU its like BAM! Parts Parts PARTS PaRTs ParTzzzzzzzz yeah buddy that looks like my kinda hangout and definitely fun to have the hardware to mess around with.
and i agree WISH IS NOT A PLACE TO BUY HIGH PRICED TECH! theyre selling old macbooks you can buy for 300 and charging $700/$800/$900/$1000+ WTF thats ridiculous!
Yeah that's super easy to do, just find the data for each connector, figure out what pins supply voltage and what ones are ground, then wire it to the fans. One thing I would love to see is a fan getting powered by the data line of a gpu, just randomly spinning whenever data is sent lol

Never a good sign when it turns up in a plastic bag...just saying
There was a time you could get plastic bag oem computer parts online without packaging. Legit stuff.
Just seeing gtx 740/1060ti in the listing header should of given the game away, there alover ebay too, there is an option to report people like that aswell.
"..we have power regardless of the connector.."
- Has multi meter in resistance mode.
Was one hell of a hackjob on that gfx card tho.
Did you not read the pinned comment
@@JaysTechVault resistance does NOT show how much current is going through the card it measures resistance, also if that a 9v multi-meter I think you my freind fried the card
@@1littlelee That's a Fluke 77 meter, which is a DMM. DMMs usually apply 1.5v or less in resistance mode, not 9v.
@@campeterson5167 Yea, while 1littlelee is right that it doesn't show how much current is going through the card, it outputs voltage and current to determine the resistance of a circuit... You're correct that the 77 does not apply anywhere NEAR 9V. When measuring 10MOhm it puts out about .8V.
I'm an electronics metrologist, trust me that a little fluke 77 probing around in resistance mode on a GPU did not blow anything up.
@@1littlelee no, the piss poor soldering job by the people faking the 750ti into a 1060 is what killed the PC..
The main red flag (and confirmation for me) was in the packaging. I did not see the GPU in an anti-static bag (it looked like regular bubble wrap there); no way I'd put that in anything regardless of whether it was wired up to be a suicide card. Had it been working like a normal card should we would see whether or not it actually has 8 gigaBITS of VRAM.
This video makes for a great PSA, sharing now.
This is not 'regular' bubble wrap, this is supposed to be anti-triboelectric bubble wrap, meaning it should not generate static electricity, or at least have a drastically reduced generation of static. Pink colour is used to differentiate this kind of bubble wrap from standard type, which is colourless.
However in practice it is not a suitable protection for electronics, stuff in pink bags, even from 'reputable' major Western electronics sellers, is known to often arrive dead, one or multiple of these made the mistake of choosing the wrong packaging at one time or another, not sure if it was Mouser or Digi-Key or both.
I don't think this is necessarily deliberately a suicide card. It's a possibility that something got zapped and created a path between 12V rail and 3.3V rail say via VRM or a fan control MOSFET, and this fault path also happens to backpower the fan via the video-out. Also wouldn't be healthy to the mainboard at all.
did anyone notice the name of the actual card on wish? it said gtx 740/1060ti
1060 ti lmaoo
I'm dying over the fact that it came in the bag xD It's so cursed
Lmao I Got A Wish Add Before I Watched Your Video
Got a Wish ad literally right at the end of this video.
TH-cam in its infinite wisdom gave me a wish ad at the start and when I finished the video :/
When i tried to order a gpu from wish for a dollar (i knew i wouldn't actually get a gpu), i got a gpu power cable xD
Same. Gaming computer for a dollar. Knew I wouldn't get that, but was curious. Got a usb-micro usb instead. It still works mostly to charge an old phone after a year and a half or so. I wouldn't spend anymore than $5 on wish. And even then it would just be as a gag gift or a small item that is actually worth the price. Only bought 2 things from wish.
It's like USB Killer but in GPU PCi E form.
Next, it will be in a form of processor.
"no, no sir you installed it wrong"
You should've plugged it to the bottom of your trash can
@@Titere05 yeah, it's actually a graphics card to turn your trash can into a PC! ;D
Damn all those pc parts in the back could make a beast lol while my pc over here is held together with hot glue
Mine is just pasted together.
My SSD is sitting under my intake fan
those arent actually his lmao, he builds PCs and keeps the empty boxes cuz they look cool
Thanks for sacrificing your testing rig for us.
i hope that there is an option to report that scammer
Last time I saw one of these videos, the "GTX 1060" they bought turned out to actually be a GTS 450.
As someone who knows very little about graphics cards, I was prepared for a bombardment of stats, specs and all sorts that would bamboozle me, so the 'Nvidia never made this card' cleared all that up immediately lol.
As I've been looking forward to buy a new video card and eyeing even used ones, this is a wake up call: I've never imagined a killer graphics card. That level of malice is way too much.
Clearly says GTX 740/GTX 1060Ti.
It's a GT 740.
VGA was dropped on Nvidia from 900 series (Maxwell), and on AMD from Polaris.
Interesting video mate keep it rolling.
There actually is a GTX 950 2GB from ASUS that has a D-Sub (VGA) port, but it seems it was only for chinese market. The model number is GTX950-DC2-2GD5-SI
, the english version of ASUS website only has support pages for this card, but chinese version also has a specification page that mentions D-Sub port.
I like all of the wood work in your place. The attic looking room you are in. The door. In fact, I like it so much, I am currently in your living room.... hehehe...
I think they bent that thing on purpose. They really should have sent a card with a middle finger as well lol
Probably so nobody plugs it into their hardware.
I hope that these people get caught. Good video brother very good a public awareness.
Ui in 360p, TH-cam is a great platform
Dude u have great content! Greetings from Chile!
Shipping was late cuz seller was laughing for 2 weeks:))
Thanks man for taking one for the team. You saved alot of PC's
This GPU is recommended by your lovely communist friend , winnie the pooh!
Euro Crusader, I think you’re confused with Xi Jinping. Though I do see the resemblance.
Yeet
"communist"
What i think they tried to do is that if the consumers system is fried, He/she will believe that there is something wrong with their system and get it checked and will probably not suspect that it was the graphics card that burned it. By the time they realise that their system is fried by showing it to a technician, and then they place the gpu to another system, they will realise that it was the gpu's fault, and by that time its too late.
I had a friend who had a bad card and i tested it on my computer and it fried my computer. 15 years later still waiting for my money.
Well I have to ask... who decided to put the card in your computer? If you offered to test it, then he doesn't owe you shit lol.
You just got my subscribe for your channel. I clicked on this video expecting a scam card for sure, but wow a straight up malicious card I wasn't expecting. Will be sharing this with as many people as I can. Thanks for exposing this for everyone to see.
this also happened to my brother who was building his first pc he lost like 90 bucks pretty much
RealSpookHours you don’t buy anything off of wish period
@@______3597 I know told him he is making a huge risk but he didn't know also he liked the video :)
Wow... I feel sorry for you. I never thougth that some scam would destroy one of your systems.
Just the motherboard. He exaggerated quite a lot lol. Still, motherboards aren't cheap but they are the cheapest component (ignoring hdds) he makes the money to buy hundreds of motherboards per video anyhow though
Wtf u on I think I made enough to buy a new motherboard and that’s it. It fried the CPU and the GPU. PSU tripped the fuse but I didn’t even recover my loss from this video.
Funny, your Fluke DMM from the late 90's is worth 10 of those GPUs.
Never heard of your channel, got this vid recommend to me randomly, but i like it, new sub for ya, also best thing to recommend to ppl is either if they wanna buy a second hand or cheaper upgrade for a pc they should ask for help from some of their friends who know their way around pc's, or second just buy the damn thing new, true is more expensive but its new and you get a warranty and all, before upgrading some research is needed, i for exemple spent like two weeks or so researching what would be a good and cheap gpu for my rig which is power limited and is not a gaming one, so i needed a gpu which won't bottleneck or be bottlenecked by the rest of the pc and would also not require external power cuz my psu wouldn't be strong enough, point is inform yourselves very well before you buy something, this guy made this video specially to show this, he knew a 1060 never had a ti version nor 8gigs memory, he played the fool who's falling for the trick to show ppl what happens when you cheap out or don't inform yourself
I miss VGA hahaha, the tiny little pins u spin to fix the cable to Ur monitor 🤣
I just don't understand why a seller would make it fry a system as opposed to just selling it as a bologna card...
Almost every product on wish is a scam
Wish needs to be closed down as this is illegal and should not even exist.
Only the pc parts are fake everything there is total legit i buy there alot
@@thegentleman2002 ye says the real Gucci belts that cost like a dollar 🤣
@@thealien_ali3382 u need to know whats real and whats fake that is very easy
@@thegentleman2002 you just said only the pc parts part are fake I just pointed out that isn't the case now Ur telling me I most know what's fake or not brov get Ur head out Ur ass
So it's one of those computer killer USBs, except it's in the form of a GPU that literally doesn't exist
I'm sorry, but where is the part of the video where you install GPU in the MB and it fries the PC? I might be wrong but to me this seems to be faked for the clickbaity title. When stating that the PC is fried you barely make any eye contact with the camera, but everywhere else you behave differently.
Don't feel too bad. I bought an "open box" motherboard from Computers Plus in Evansville. It was actually a RME'd board they had gotten back after repair. It fried two graphics cards and four sticks of memory. It literally burned connectors off of them. Their response? They offered me a new board for half-price. They did not offer to replace anything that that board destroyed even though they lied about the other board being new.
As someone who got this item back a few years ago when I was young and stupid I will say one thing... When it came it was in perfect condition, went right in, turned right on, and only gave you issues when you tried to install the drivers for it. Then it was go into a infinity crash loop and you would have to start in safe mode, uninstall the drivers, restart into normal windows, reinstall the drivers and try again. When I figured out and looked up the chip name and figured out it was a scam, I was able to put everything back in and it worked like it always had before.
While I am not in favor of this card or the way these scammer try and scam little kids (like I was) into buying something that is totally worthless. I know for a fact that it would take a lot more than a couple drops to make that kind of damage to the card, and it seems like there were stress marks as if someone took a pair of pliers and did that to make it look worse than it actually was.
Also he showed no video proof of the PC not turning on, and I am not buying because I know what this card does first hand.
While I am not opposed to people calling out scammers and shaming them.... Lying to your viewers and creating clickbait for more money is SO DUMB.
I almost never dislike tech videos like this, but I do not support lying and I think this guy is a scam, just like this video and product is.
I bought this card awhile back it didn’t fry my pc either, maybe he have bad luck or the vid is staged for clicks.
EGE Productions the thing that’s even more dumb is that you would actually buy this card
People who are typically buying PC parts to make builds are often knowledgeable enough to know when something is a scam
I feel like the mainstream population would fall for this, but then again, most people buying used gpu's off the market typically have some understanding on them.
Question- did you complain about the seller on wish? Any response from them?
hah .. they would blame the delivery service. If they offer him a refund , I wouldn't be surprised if the merchant files an insurance claim with the delivery service.
Great video. Keep the word coming out. It's time to stop scammers and this type of apps that who knows what is happening with our info, card details address etc. etc.
M Ohms aren't really a reason to say there is an actual connection
Agreed, this is still wrong, OP was is this part you'd supposedly removed? If so TH-cam is hanging onto it.
TH-cam says it takes anywhere from an hour to a day to edit it out via the editor.
@@JaysTechVault No worries. Top job on taking responsibility. This unfortunately rare these days. Edit. Just a thought, this still possible you can put that meter to use. Search up the HDMI pin assignments, find which one is +5v, work out which soldered pin it is and trace that to the fan. Happy to help if I can.

Rename this to: "The Cancer Returns"
The Graphics Card Version Of A Usb Killer.
Not even close to a gtx pcb board should have been the initial dead giveaway besides price
Most electronics I've purchased on Wish are from foreign scammers that don't give a damn about selling fraudulent and harmful products. Got an SD card and a USB stick that were both hacked to show high capacity, when in fact they lost data after a much lower physical limit was met. Also got USB LEDs that were static instead of animated. One USB booklight that fried my power bank for it. And a phone was literally a paperweight shell of a phone with a handwritten note to "enjoy this funny prop item."
Wish didn't do anything to refund earlier orders because they weren't contacted within 30 days of purchase... Despite the items taking almost two months to arrive in the first place. They're better at customer support lately, but they still keep allowing fraudulent merchants to post onto there.
As long as Wish is making money there is little incentive for them to go after these frauds. And even if they did ban someone for this kind of thing it's likely they could just make a new account and just do it again. Rinse and repeat. It's like the internet wild west (or wild east itc). Caveat emptor.
NOW THATS A LOTTA DAMAGE!
Not only will it kill your system, but it could also catch it on fire. This is a downright dangerous situation. Good thing people like you raise awareness of these scams. People can be desperate to buy a GPU for themselves or especially, if they are parents, their kids (especially around the holidays when there are shortages). These sellers are really disgusting, but they can care less about other people.
"I Wish I didn't"
If you want to know how damage like that can happen: package sorting is fully automated and it's not for softies. No one is dropping anything. If you don't properly package your things, they will get fucked.
Just put some flex tape on and fix it right up
That's blown a PC before... And been thrown at a wall in retaliation...
How would someone even make something like that?
Easy-ish - take some leaked PCB design you want to copy, change a few traces on it to do whatever you need (like short out power / ground, maybe even data lanes), manufacture it in PCB fab as usual and put non-working parts from recycled 1060s on it just to look complete
People buying fake GPU's for youtube is probably the only reason they're still being sold on wish
wait what is the video about i was looking at the backround
Wish is liable for the malicious card and for any components damaged, thanks for posting this.
I have a tip for y’all don’t shop on wish
That is so malicious not only is it not what you paid which is what you should expect if buying from wish.com but it literally purposely BREAKS your computer, feel sorry for all the people that actually bought one of these. That seller needs to get the shit beat out of him by every person that bought one of these.
i seen a few asians selling these on fb in the uk the mans right check for a vga big give away
Having that card fry your board is quite a thing.
I've tried quite some things on old systems and don't remember that ever causing any damage.
Like, if you plug the right jack into the right plug, it's not meant to blow up. There are quite some protection circuits in there, plus tolerances for unstable voltages and what not.
oh yeah, wish, the unregulated market, the wet dream of ancaps, i guess ir work.
There are honest vendors in China that sell good products. This kind of practice from a few scam artists harms confidence in their entire country.
Don't throw your dead cards ! Some people (like me :] ) make decoration with ! Or you can re sell it for few dollars
No that thing needs to stay out of the public.

It's bizarre that Wish is still a thing. I can't imagine anyone ever orders from there twice. My boss did a Wish order and we all added a few things just out of curiosity. None of the things were as expected. The most common thing was size. One ordered one of those pet food dishes that look like a maze to slow down and prevent choking etc. No joke, it was less than 2 inches in diameter. They just took a real clear macro shot with some deceptive items in the background to make it look regular sized.
I mean what kind of strategy is that for ongoing success? And what an appropriate name for the website. Wish. Ha, no kidding.
360p is the best resolution
Hey it’s 4K TH-cam’s slow.
Looks like this literally just got uploaded. Give it time.
I'm thinking of how this would be expressed in the language of Brave Little Toaster.
Begging for death.
Wish how I "wish" you were legit
I regret nothing
Thanks for this info. If this would have happened to me I would have lost the only gaming rig that I worked and saved a really long time to build. Thanks for sharing this.
Can you pay with Paypal on wish? If so, just keep buying them and then disputing them for selling fake stuff. On ebay it should be even easier.
Yeah keep wasting tour money on fake shit that doesn't work. 😂
@@Venom8419 the Catch was that you can no matter what, always get a refund from PayPal If you get scammed.
So you are Not wasting your Money, you are getting it back at least.
Technically you are wasting Paypals Money tho.
@@siriusargus6766 But PayPal can block your account if you keep making claims.
@@bokip2297 yeah
Well, it can be lot worse. My wife put a couple of orders a couple of years ago (before she got aware of the bad quality). She paid the bill and was done about wish. But no, several months later she suddenly got a huge bill for items she never ordered, and now we have being about a year in conflict with a pay-your-bill-or-else company (don't know the english term) because even if the claim is proven false from our side, that company just continue harassing her by selling the claim to other companie - they keep doing that instead of taking the case to court because they can't prove a legal claim.
It was hard to find a way of comunicate to wish, but trying to complain using mail, the anwer back is nothing but gibberish. That i get a mail in return, but I think they never actually bother reading the mail. When demanding proper documentation for the order, they just put some standard text in the reply, getting nowhere (either a robot or an employe having a choice of like ten different text for whatever mail).
For this reason - don't put orders from wish.
