I am writing this article for those of you who are looking for buying agents from South Korea online. In order to find a buying agent all you have to do is log on to google and you will find several recommendations. There is one company in South Korea that operates as a buying agent by the name of Avecko which operates at www.avecko.com. I am asking resellers not to use this buying agent as they will refuse to help you out if you are sent an item that is not authentic.

Avecko ignored countless emails from me asking for a return and refund. I eventually opened a Paypal case against them in which they finally responded to my message on Paypal. I was not aware at the time that the bot on Paypal closed cases in favor of the merchant if you did not escalate your case while it was still open. I provided the tracking number and the return merchandise was in transit so i assumed a human would review my case with paypal before closing in favor of the merchant. An unfortunate event for me, the case was closed in favor of the merchant. I proceeded to call Paypal and i was told there was nothing they could do because it was charged through my bank. I used my Robinhood account for this payment. I needed to open a charge back with Robinhood in order for my money to be refunded. This was more than $400 in total. I proceeded to open a charge back with Robinhood and was told that it would take up to 90 days for me to hear about the results of my charge back as they had to deal with their bank provider. As part of the process of trying to speak to a representative at Robinhood fraud department i found out the following. You can not speak directly with a representative at Rohinhood fraud department and can only speak to the assistant. Robinhood fraud agents do not make the final call as to the outcome of your case because they bank with JP Morgan Chase who is in charge of investigating outgoing transactions. After four weeks of waiting and trying to speak to someone regarding my case i was told that Avecko( merchant) told the Chase investigators that they had already given me my refund, there was no such transactions in my paypal or my Robinhood account to verify this!. I am completely baffled at how this buying agent treats its customers. They refuse to respond to any of my emails and i see that the handbag i bought has been re-listed in the marketplace again by the third party seller.

Therefore, save yourself headache and do not use this buying agent and be very careful when purchasing through paypal using a third party bank and not your paypal funds at hand.

I hope that this short article will be helpful for someone who may have had a similar experience or looking for buying agent recommendations.
