I have ordered something from the seller shaojiang2013 and after I noticed that the seller left in the comments "do not accept paypal", should i be concerned? (after all that i have read in this pretty much proves that i was ripped off)

I paided by credit card and still didnt get items, you may be at the loss of the money like myself, but they say we learn the hard way, id rather go and purchase the goods in a shop, than go through that hassle and torment. Beware of seller---acmilan267-8548 (counterfit runners)

Hi, Paypal is the only way to ensure some protection. If you use another method and the cheat in China doesn't pay, you lose.

Chinese can easily get a PayPal account and there's PayPal Hong Kong. If they don't accept PayPal, then it's because they don't have an account and that's likely because they are accused of selling fakes and doing fraud.

I would NEVER buy anything directly from a supplier in China. First, I'm writing this from China and even my wife is Chinese. I speak Chinese and I deal with Chinese business - even had a Chinese boss once. The culture here is all about "get the money, get the money, get the money". Ethics have nothing to do with anything for many people doing business here. From a legal point of view, once your transaction is OUTSIDE of the borders of the US, you have "no recourse" - in other words, you have no legal rights. Who are you going to sue? What jurisdiction? What language? If you want to buy something, then buy something warehoused in the US and from a buyer with roots HERE and who can be served a law suite. By the way, do you wonder why you and your friends don't have good job prospects? You keep buying the cheapest things and demanding the cheapest prices. Now that the internet is here and Chinese labor costs are going up, the Chinese are going factory/trader to living room. Even the American person who wanted to earn extra money on eBay or Amazon can't do that anymore because Chinese sell directly into the US market to you and your buddies and they DON'T NEED YOU to sell their products to the US anymore. Since these sellers don't have inventory or an office or even citizenship in the US, they don't pay sales tax or income taxes. The Chinese government rebates their 17% VAT tax for all exports. They are making money, tax free all the way around and your peer group can't find a job. Not only did your parent's job move to China, but your online business opportunity did too. Next time, stick to an American-based company to buy from... and you'll get your porduct.

Not necessarily, but if you are concerned, just tell them that you cannot pay any other way, or you will need to cancel the order. If you haven't given them any payment info, they can't charge you.
