Dick Blick on line is the only place that I can find Caran d'Ache oil pastels by the stick. I order quite a few when I order, so l probably only order once a year and I forget that their site is not shopper friendly. I go through and work out an order, and I put the quantity in what I think is my cart, then when I am ready to check out, there is nothing in the cart. Very frustrating. Then if I try to see if the if the item is in the cart, the site assumes that this is your whole order and won't take you back to the list. Check out what they have on line, but don't try to place an order through the web page, you will go crazy. Call your order in..

Scammers have found that PayPal is a good way to successfully scam consumers. You order something from an ad you see on the internet, In my case a garden stool/kneeler. You use PayPal to pay for the item. The seller then sends you a package, that they send first class, for less than a dollar, with a tracking number(they sent me a scrap of fabric) from some place in the U.S. When you say you didn't get what you ordered, they produce the tracking number. Then they say if you are not happy to return the worthless item to a place in China and they will give you a refund. Well no sane person, during a pandemic(I am 79) is going to pay for international shipping, knowing one will be cheated further. PayPal, of course, sides with the scammer. It is impossible to communicate with PayPal. Hell will freeze over before I use PayPal again.
