Back in 2014/2015 sometime they became a distributor for Giesemann. You can read about it online, I've even confirmed with Giesemann themselves.
8 weeks ago, I decided to get an Aurora fixture. BRS/CoralVue pricing was too high and didn't offer bulbs or hanging kit. I figured, I wasn't in a hurry, so I'd go to the source. Looking on http://www.giesemann.de/ , I was able to find the light info, but nowhere to purchase.
I did find: https://************.com/2015/01/06/giesemannuk-launched-offer-balanced-pricing-uk-europe/ , linking to a UK distributor for Giesemann.
Bingo bango, they sell the light, and include a hanging kit and bulbs at no cost. I place the order. a few days go by and I don't even get an email confirming my order. I email them with no response, so I open a paypal dispute.
At this time the seller contacts me and says that they're moving websites and their order system and email have been down, but my order is being prepared and will ship within 4 weeks, but could I please remove the dispute so they can proceed.
So I wait....4 weeks go by and I ask for shipping info, get a response that they'd get an update from manufacture and get back to me. That was April 4th....they've gone ghost.
I contact Giesemann direct and they say Simmon isn't responding to them and they have no recent orders from them, but I can purchase through them direct?? yeah, let me just come up with ANOTHER 1600 bucks.
I don't panic at this time, I head over to PP and try and open a dispute, nope. Only one per transaction. I email/call and get someone who doesn't even look into it, just says, you only get one dispute and you closed it.
I let them know that dispute was for COMMUNICATION on order. She says doesn't matter, nothing they can do.
Seller obviously knows PP's stance on disputes and knows Im SOL.
here are more of Simon's scam sites.

Most of you won't go searching overseas for better pricing, but if you do, DON'T go there, and as far as PP goes, my advice is don't open a dispute until you are to the point of wanting out of the deal.
As for me, I'm going to get new bulbs for my PacSun, lick my wounds, and tell my wife Cory (mxreefer) stole my money.
