Possibly incorrect return address from misleading seller/ scam artist

[cedloth_0]

Good evening. I hope it's alright if I write this post in English.

A month ago I fell for a misleading ad for Ringfit Adventure for Nintendo Switch. Instead of the actual game, the seller only sent the peripheral for the game. Obviously, I'm trying to return it for a full refund. After trying several times to convince me to accept a partial refund, the seller finally agreed to take the article back for a full refund. I am, however, worried that he might still try to trick me to refuse refunding the money after I'll send it back.

The return address he gave me does exist, but it's in a different country from the one where the package **bleep** from.

Originally, the ad said that the article was in Canada, the mail receipt said that the seller is from China, the package **bleep** from the Netherlands, and the return address is in the UK.

Now the question is: Can I be sure to get my money back if the return address turns out to be wrong?

I never had the displeasure of dealing with a scammer before, so I want to cover my bases.

Thank you for reading and for any advice.

PS: Feel free to answer in French. I have no trouble reading it, but it's easier for me to write in English

Bonjour @cedloth_0 

Vous devriez ouvrir un litige pour objet non conforme puisque vous n'avez pas reçu exactement ce que vous avez commandé.

D'autre part, l'annonce est trompeuse aussi puisqu'il faut renvoyer en chine alors que l'objet était situé au Canada, d'après l'annonce.

Comme vous avez payé avec paypal, vous regardez ici---->

et vous expliquez exactement la tromperie dans la messagerie du litige qui est prévue...

C'est encore le moyen le + simple..
