At the first of the year I responded to a pop up clothing ad on Instagram for Boho style clothing. The style advertised was gauzy beautiful resort type wear at a cost friendly price. There were a couple dresses thar kept sticking with me and since PayPal was a buying choice I felt they were a safer bet. I placed an order, met the minimum for free shipping. My cost was $77.84. The clothing came around 3-4 weeks later and were hideous. It was obvious they were advertising someone elses fashions then on cheap polyester style shiny heavy material photo shooting a pic of the fashion and printing it. What should be embroidered was a print, etc, as well as shadows were shown. It was awful. I complained to Koselip, which is the name they were advertising under even tho the website comes up as novaiy.com, and they said I had to ship the clothes back to China, even tho they came to me from CA. I then went to PayPay who would not help, supported the ship to China. In the interim they sent me an address in CA to use, and PayPay closed their case on July 4, informing them. I returned the clothing, they acknowledge receipt but keep insisting that I must close the PayPal case, which is closed. I have sent them screen shots, etc. they are just giving me the run around. Moral to this story is, PayPal supported a crook because they are making money off of them and they will most likely never refund my money. There is no recourse at the bank as this was not a debit card fraud. Had I used a credit card, it would be a different story. I am just effed. Avoid those ads. The clothes are being offered by several companies and they do not exist.

Stay away from the pop up ads on Instagram and FB selling beautiful resort wear. What you get is NOT what they are advertising. If you are lucky enough to get a size that is not for a Barbie, they use heavy polyester not the flowing gauze advertised and print from pictures the clothing so if it is embroidered in the pic you will get it cheaply printed, not embroidered. The clothing is hideous and from China.
