14 I placed a couple orders with them during their sale. Tarek said he stopped dealing with PayPal since they only side with the buyer even when it's outright theft. He's not the only vendor I've heard this from.

Dangerous operations.

97 Hi Kuchenz,
Yes, it is a legit site. I have ordered there several times without any issues.
In fact, the last 2 JHEMCU GH743 FC boards that I bought were purchased
from them. I hadn't heard about the PayPal issue, it went through when I
bought the FCs.
Now, I do understand if they no longer accept PayPal. On the other hand,
I appreciate that PayPal sides with the customer since most people who
purchase something that is bad often has a problem with the vendor. This
is especially true with Banggood. Vendors often don't play well when one
of their products is defective. You spend a lot of money for something, but
it doesn't work when you get it, so what do you do. Contact the vendor. If they
say that is nothing, do nothing, or say that is just the way it is, then you have
very little recourse. Yeah, I understand that there may be a few deviate customers
out there, however, I just believe that is the exception rather than the norm.
I believe that, generally, the vendor has the upper hand. They have your money
and it is hard to get it back.
CycloneFPV is a decent vendor and I will buy from them again, PayPal or Not.
I use PayPal because it is convenient and keeps my credit card number in one
place rather than all over the vendor list. On the other hand, I am not locked to it.
When ever I can, I use AMAZON for 2 reasons: 1) The delivery times are literally
the Best on the planet. Most things in 1 to 3 days. 2) Amazon's return policy is
second to NONE. They are the absolute BEST. No hassles, no conflict, even if
it is the buyers fault. They take it back and refund your money. Period.
