I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Arthur I think that Paypal and their parent company (eBay) simply buy any competition.

And no PP is not one of the biggest banks, we should not allow them such a prestigious title, they would however be the biggest money handlers.

Unfortunately not being a bank allows them to set their own rules.

Two questions...

1. Why 17 years and never been used?

2 Why do you want to sell it?

Ken

Carey....

Whoa so you mean to tell me the only prepaid card Paypal will accept is the one that they collect the fees on?

Go figure....

Ken

It's the people who stay here that sets the tone, it's why this place is a cosy home

Congrats.

Ken

No he wont, if the scammer told Paypal the watch was a rep he will be refunded, keep the watch and Matt PP account will most likely be frozen.

I've had it done to me too many times now.

Ken

simply send me a PM and we will take it from there.

Ken

Unfortunately there are many abusing the whole Paypal system now, many who would not even call themselves scammers (although the above obviously is) will start a PP dispute knowing full well they will end up keeping the goods and getting the refund.

All because they believe they and not the seller/dealer should be able to dictate the terms of the sale.

Ken

cool thread

Good to have you back Chief and Dadog good to see you too!

Far too many I would like to see again but the thread is here so any oldies lurking say hi.

Ken

Has anyone seen a replica of this watch?

It doesn't even need to be a good quality or all that accurate as I know people who would want this for the novelty.

Ken

Just to add;

I am certain that MoaB is referring to M2M sales here.

Dealers (such as myself) who have had their PP accounts burned by scammers have no other option than to take WU.

Ken

if this goes political it gets shut ok?

Ken

Hahahahaha

Wait

Hahahaha

Aint gunna happen

Why not ask a watch dealer to start cutting up watches

Ken

Yes the win for net neutrality makes the move illegal, there is however those still trying to overturn the decision.

Ken

The whole point is that you cannot just refund everyone who has a baseless claim or in the end you are doing nothing more than shipping free goods.

Ken

@bwhitesox unfortunately there is not a lot of open sharing between dealers due to the fact we are all in competition.

@AKTime Google wallet is only for Google goods.

Seriously I can't understand why Paypal does not have any major competition, other than the fact they tend to buy their competitors.

Ken

Unfortunately the only resolution is that I am out of pocket for roughly $1000 (not counting lost sales) and my legitimate site is now burned

And yet all the goods I sent were perfectly acceptable.

Ken

@ spankster, yes thank you a sticky may go a long way to helping so I will get one up and yes I will of course cover WU fees.

Ken

I do need to go back to WU now, no choice, but the last time I did that sales went dead quite.

Unfortunately even good customers believe they need the protection of Paypal to keep sellers honest, they really do not count the 8 years of stellar reputation.

Ken

Guys the problem is, and it is not a widely know fact, that 80% of all sales are first time buyers.

The problem is not noobs as such but a new class of noobs, those that really do not care about anything but getting what they want.

Ken

Yes but the part that makes it impossible is that to win their petty claims they deliberately bring down entire sites.
