Should I make this payment?

I came along a Chinese wholesaler who claims that they sell original Apple products. I asked them if they accept PayPal and they said yes. Their website didn t give an option of PayPal payment but they sent me a money request when I sent them my order. They also told me that since it s the first time that they re doing business with me, I can t spend more than $1,000 with them. I also called PayPal to make sure they re legit and they told me that the seller is legit and they have transactions going on with other buyers. The seller sent me a money request and PayPal also told me that I m protected by their protection to get my money back if my order doesn t arrive. However, when I checked online, they have bad ratings where the consumers are saying that they got their money back from PayPal through a dispute. Since PayPal is telling me that they re legit and I m protected by them, should I make the payment or should I consider the online reviews of the site and move on?
