- Huntington Station, NY, USA • Jan 30, 2025

This was a mini space heater advertised as efficient, easy to use, odorless and would save on bills. The items arrived in damaged boxes that were ripped or open. I tried one heater. It emitted a foul odor and shortly thereafter stopped working. I contacted the company by e-mail. Told them what happened. They asked for pictures of the packages and I sent it to them. I told them given the condition of the packages and what happened with the heater I tried I did not trust in the safety of the product and wanted to return them for a full refund. I’ve been getting the run around with all kinds of excuses. They kept repeating questions I had already answered. It almost felt like I was not e-mailing with a human being. I filed a dispute with my credit card company.

Copy of the email I sent notifying them of the faulty product that explains the situation:
“So, I received this today and it doesn’t work. Please see both the video of it not functioning whatsoever, as well as the photo of the shipping label which shows it having come from a residential address of a ******* ***** in Fair Oaks, CA 95628 (screenshot from Google street view attached), completely contrary to what your tracking site notes (still says it’s in Rochester, NY - screenshot attached) based on the tracking number you provided. Additionally, and peculiarly, after peeling the shipping label off and holding it to the ceiling light, there’s another label underneath showing my mailing address, so I’m perplexed as to how your operation there works.
As noted, and as I’ve proven to you, this thing doesn’t work, so I expect a full refund returned to me via PayPal (purchase receipt attached in email to be forwarded). Kindly provide a shipping address so I can return the defective unit, otherwise, I’m happy to ship it back to ******* **** in Fair Oaks, CA.
Failure to refund me will result in my aforementioned report to the Better Business Bureau, PayPal, and the Bureau of Consumer Protection under the FTC.
Thank you, and I expect a written response confirming receipt of this email and confirming in writing that a full refund for $62.46 that covers payment for the item, tax, and shipping/handling will be issued within the standard 3-5 business days.”

The scammer sells chocolate strawberries on Instagram. She takes your money, offers a speedy order and charges 25 more. When you show up for the pickup she doesn’t answer the door and refuses to refund your money. Several attempts have been made with no results.

I believed I was purchasing 4 Ralph Lauren clothing items via this https://harryandavid.vip/?utm_tag=1 site.

- Philadelphia, PA, USA • Jan 28, 2025

Order clothing. Never sent an email or confirmation or an order number. When I contacted them several times, they stated they needed name of store where it was ordered and an order#, which I was never given. No replies recently.

While surfing the net attempting to find a RAB Cirrus Flex 2.0 ski vest at a good price a website from a company called STARLAND came up. It appeared to a legitimate clothing company. It contained photographs of several other items that could be purchased. After purchasing the vest and a Helly Hanson fleece top I received a receipt in an email from starland

I placed an order with Eternal Muse, and when I reached out for support, they were unable to provide proof of delivery. FedEx confirmed that the package’s delivery partner could not verify its location, yet Eternal Muse refuses to provide a proper resolution.

During checkout, the company offers “Gift Box Protection”, which misleadingly suggests it covers replacements or protects the shipment. However, when I inquired about my missing order, they claimed this protection only applies to the box itself—not the actual product inside. This is extremely deceptive and is not clearly disclosed at checkout.

To make matters worse, even the box itself is missing, meaning that by their own policy, I should qualify for a resolution. Yet, they are refusing to abide by their own stated terms and have denied a refund or reshipment.

This practice feels like a bait-and-switch, charging customers for a misleading protection plan while taking no responsibility when something goes wrong. Their responses have been scripted and dismissive, failing to provide an actual solution. I originally purchased these items for an upcoming trip, and their lack of accountability has now left me without what I paid for.

Eternal Muse should be held accountable for its misleading “Gift Box Protection” policy, which is not clearly disclosed at checkout. Customers should not be misled into purchasing a protection plan that only applies to the packaging and not the actual product. Additionally, if the entire package is missing, the company should honor its own stated policy and provide a resolution.

More transparency is needed in how they present their policies, and businesses should not be allowed to offer a paid protection service that provides no actual coverage for missing orders.

Misrepresented products did not respond to follow up deleted website

- North Fort Myers, FL, USA • Jan 24, 2025

I looked on Google for a product and it popped up on Google Shopping. The website looks real. I ordered the product and paid in full. I got a confirmation stating that the money was taken out of my account. The confirmation screen says that I paid and got Reference #************* with Transaction ID #*****************. And my PayPal ID says I paid someone named Kelly Stubs with Merchant ID 8CU486306V304583. The email address on the receipt of Kelly Stubs is [email protected]. I tried to email the support email address on the website for the company 3 times, and the emails bounce back in approx 24-48 hours saying it is undeliverable. I tried calling the telephone number on the website and get an automated recording saying the telephone number is not in service. The company keeps emailing me trying to get me to purchase the item again with discounts saying that I left it in my cart. I have taken screen shots of the emails and the approval that I got when I paid and my confirmation from PayPal

I ordered two comfort hoodies outfits and never received them and I have texted several times and got no answer, they don't have a. Phone number this was taken from my debit card.

- Bangor, PA, USA • Jan 18, 2025

I have tried to contact this company at least 8 times, they do not have a telephone number. With every email I send, it is an automated response that states they will contact me within 1 to 3 days. I haven't received a response at all.
People need to be made aware that this is not a legitimate company and you will more than likely not be able to make a return.

- Red Lion, PA, USA • Jan 17, 2025

Ordered a personalized Christmas bag for granddaughter. Kept sending me emails package was on the way. Then posted delivery date and tracking no but nothing delivered. Told me too check post office which I did. Could not track with no given and then they told me to get confirmation with post office which couldn’t happen as they didn’t have in their system. Big run around and then PayPal tells me the seller had tracking info and closed case. Unbelievable.

- Red Lion, PA, USA • Jan 17, 2025

Purchased nasal sticks on line. Seller was sending emails tracking package. When package was supposedly delivered I received nothing. Contacted seller who gave tracking no and told to contact post office. I did but the no was not a viable us no so they couldn’t do anything. Contacted PayPal and was denied refund because seller provided tracking info which was FAKE!!! Very frustrating.
