proxsniper Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 I have ordered a watch from timesshop.net it went through to a pay service called payease, which I have heard many people online say is a scam. The order status is still awaiting payment. I then ordered again, but through another payment gateway, in which i didn't put in any payment information, and now it says that that order is preparation in progress. So now I have 2 orders and I don't know if someone is going to buy all kinds of things with my credit card, and I'm not sure if I'll receive my purchase. The weird thing is I have heard that this website is legitimate on this forum and it is a trusted seller. If anyone has ordered from them I would like to know how you paid and how the payment went (any problems like mine) and if anyone could give me some advice on this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
woof* Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Welcome to the forum! The great majority of websites out there are scammers. There are thousands of websites. Here, on RWG we have a list of what are called "Trusted Dealers" in the dealer section. We always recomend that you buy watches from this list of dealers. The trusted dealers are known to be trustworthy, honest and provide decent service. There is alot of information here all over RWG for the new to reps person. I have no idea on timeshops, I wish you the best.
mikellem Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Tiimeshop is not scammers. I will promise you. If they take your money twice, email Mark @ zhaiyunpeng@gmail.com His is the admin. They go thru a 3rd party payee company. Mark will answer you right away and settle all your problems. Tell Mark Mikellem recommended you and say they are honest. DON'T WORRY.`~~~ YOU WILL NOT LOOSE~ MM
proxsniper Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks for the reasurrance, I messaged him a few times since the order was placed through the site, and I sent him one email, and the sales rep another. I'm still confused why i've heard so many people getting ripped off by the two 3rd party payment gateways he uses though.
Leroy Jenkins Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 I ordered from them last week. My awaiting payment status is the same. He has not responded to my email.
StormTooper4 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 TS not a scam had a few from them and so have some mates of mine. Their process is just a bit slower, I had a similar issue and there was a mix up in email address on my account. Patience is required in this game.
slask111 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 I have bought stuff from timeshop.net. Had no problem what so ever. They are using a 3`d party card processor though. Not sure what i had to use. I believe that they are TD on other forums. You should be fine.
proxsniper Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks guys. OK I guess Leroy is just in the same boat as me. We'll just have to be patient!
proxsniper Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Posted February 15, 2012 I just emailed him and his sales representative and they helped me cancel the 2nd unwanted order, but they informed me that they didn't receive payment on the payease gateway. I won't repay because then I will be charged with 2 orders what should I do, I told them all this and they haven't responded yet.
Leroy Jenkins Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 My credit card was billed. I emailed Mark and he updated my info in my account which gave me a tracking number. My order has already cleared customs. He seems good to go proxsniper. 1
proxsniper Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Posted February 15, 2012 Did you use Payease or 95epay?
cougar1 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 These 3rd party pay methods are a bit annoying, but as above, Timeshops is far from a scam, not a TD here but RWI users are quite happy. They sell noob subs like hotcakes. Just contact them again and tell them to cancel both transactions and do it over again without being so trigger happy next time
mikellem Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Glad to see you guys getting taken care of... After reading here yesterday, I emailed Mark immediately and he assured me he would straighten you guys out. I feel better... I don't like anyone getting screwed from any dealer... MM 3
cougar1 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Sometimes we all moan about PP, and they are wnkers but I'll admit it is very bloody convenient and straightforward at times. Nothing wrong with other payment methods but sometimes I cringe when I see the process others use. At the end of the day though timeshops will sort it out, Mark is a good guy.
Roley1 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Hi all, I am trying to figure out how to post a picture of the sub I just got from timesshop. While looking for instructions on how to do this, I noticed this post. I had the same worries with this dealer in the beginning but I was told, by a few of you veteran memebers (THANKS again by the way! ), that patience and trust is the first rule to this awesome hobby.... I did was I was told. I did NOT email the dealer more than twice (in a 30 day span) and also made sure all was good with the $$ transaction. Yes, the first time I ordered, the pay vendor did something a little weird and my order was not completed. I then chose the 2nd pay option (2nd vendor) and it went through just fine. As a beginner in all this, unless I find higher quality at the same price (or more rep options to choose from) these guys will have all my future business! Now, if I could only find instructions on how to post a pic of my new baby! hahaha!
proxsniper Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Posted February 15, 2012 That is what I;m thinking of doing (canceling my order) but I am worried that pay ease has my credit card information, and now they could rip me off, I heard they are illegitimate all over the internet. And, I still haven't checked if payease actually took the money off of my account. IF they did, then its really all on mark to get it sorted out and shipped. If its a problem with payease, is it sellers responsibility, or do i get screwed? Also, I want to get it all done fast i need the watch here by Feb 22 if possible.
proxsniper Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Posted February 15, 2012 IF I cancel my order, and somehow the payment gets through after I cancel, will he allow the payment to count towards my order?
proxsniper Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Posted February 15, 2012 IF I cancel my order, and somehow the payment gets through after I cancel, will he allow the payment to count towards my order? And what if it does charge after i have canceled and reordered? then is suppose I have to report it to my credit card company and say that it was a canceled order...?
Roley1 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 What happened exactly for me was I entered my CC info the first time through the first pay vendor (I don't remember which one off the top of my head) and it did not go through. Like you, I was VERY hesitant of re-doing as I didn't want to be charged twice. So, I actually left it alone and immediately clicked on the "live chat". The person on the other end notified me that my order had been cancelled and to re-do using the 2nd pay vendor option. It went through and they even verfied it for me.... so, not sure if this helps you out but thus far, everything worked out well for me. Will it always? Doubtful, as I think (the more I learn anyways about all this) that there will come a time when something goes wrong. But, that's what all the awesome folks on here are for, right? to help out and calm us when we need to be calmed!
proxsniper Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Posted February 16, 2012 I have reordered through 95epay, I really hope that this time the order goes through, if this doesn't work I give up lol.
proxsniper Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Posted February 17, 2012 Order status is Payment accepted! Should be smooth sailing from here unless something goes wrong in shipping and handling! Hopefully I'll get it before my trip to ohio on the 22nd.
Leroy Jenkins Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 I just picked it up from the post office. They attempted delivery yesterday. That would have been 8 days total from order to delivery. I am impressed. I am too new to the replica world to point out any glaring deficiencies. The small things people point out look ok to me. My only point of reference is owning a gen 1655. I honestly would not be able to tell the difference from this watch and the gen. I am overall pleased with this transaction. The "awaiting payment" status was annoying and that is the only negative I have.
Guest Gotohavearolexnow Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 I've only ever bought once from them and they sent the watch to wrong address I'm in the Uk they sent it tom the USA but had a refund from them in the end
