mfw moneygram?

Even a 3%-5% increase in price with Paypal to avoid any potential currency conversion round issues would be better than moneygram. I hope you guys strongly reconsider this.

I'd advise everyone to read the consumer protection section. There is absolutely no protection, and I would highly advise _BMW_M3_ and Lin to use PayPal.

Quote
MoneyGram never recommends sending money to a stranger. Any monies received by a stranger cannot be recovered and unfortunately you will not get your money refunded back to you.

I read the link.  I really want a Dolphin, but the payment method is not good.

Lin is contacting PayPal tomorrow to see what he can do. I already sent him cash via MoneyGram. He's run several successful GBs already. Money goes straight to him, not to me. Also, all shipping comes from Lin. I'll update with the results of his call tomorrow.

I think it's got less to do with not trusting Lin, and more so seeing what's happened with some group buys has put a bad taste in people's mouth (Ivan?).

Also I suggest you sort the whole lists (2 lists) of users randomly and post them, and just go down the lists when there are issues or drop outs; to keep it fair and prevent begging posts.

hello friend
I'm Lx3 (linlinlin)

sorry for use Moneygram .

I used the money gram because it was easy for me.
I already tried bmw3 and money grams. It was very convenient.

I tried to use PayPal to withdraw $ 800 to my Korean account, but my account was restricted.
PayPal has not yet heard the reason.


I have been doing a lot of co - production in Korea and have not caused any problems at all.
I hope that this will give you confidence.
I'm different from Druger.
He also cheated many people's money in Korea.

I know very well what you are worried about.

I will contact PayPal tomorrow to discuss this issue.

If it is difficult to solve, it is inevitably necessary to use a moneygram.

If Moneygram had any form of buyer protection it would be different but even their website says there isn't any

Dig the look of the EM 7 but not going through something like Paypal is pretty risky

I think the issue is with lin trying to withdraw funds or something. PayPal isn't as nice international as they are in the States.

Maybe we all should see how the raffle goes first to see which buyers are affected and if they'd prefer MoneyGram or PayPal.

then bmw m3 can collect payments via paypal and send the total as moneygram and assume liability for it all.

I mean if you are not comfortable with dealing through moneygram, you don't have to join.

Lynn would have used PayPal, if it's more approachable like how it used to be. It's no fun when PayPal decided to hold 30% of the total transaction for the next 3-6 months. We are talking about 60k US$ worth of transaction. What if USD - KRW drops tremendous over the next few months under the leadership of President Trump? Well, that's something we can't predict? Plus Lynn is probably making only 15% profit out of the GB, max. I don't think it's a risk worth taking. Considering he is not doing this full time.

Perhaps all GB should be done through Massdrop in future, but some of you hate Massdrop. So idk.  :'(

You guys are aware that if I were to receive $60k of cash through PayPal, I would be audited by the IRS, right? You can't just receive $60k and then shovel it to South Korea and expect the US Government to be okay with that. Imagine the taxes on that...

I really understand the solution isn't ideal... but if PayPal doesn't help us out, our hands are somewhat tied.

We're already paying over $500-600 and at this point the marginal increase of GB price isn't a problem.
I'd rather pay extra for a 100% protection than use this sketchy moneygram.

I don't really have any skin in this debate, but I will say from personal experience in dealing with the IRS all the time, no you would not get audited for that.  You would report $60k of income and then report the cost of the materials, shipping, and other fees as expenses, with the difference being taxable to you.  People run GBs through PayPal accounts all the time and none have reported having tax issues with the IRS, unless of course you are not reporting the income, which would really only matter if you are a US citizen.

Believe me, I would love to use PayPal. It's simple and easy, except for the person receiving the money. As of right now, it's not possible.

Ring PayPal and ask to remove the limit on income. It took 5 minutes to verify my account and remove the 2.5k limit - I took over $38k. PayPal only hold money when you don't set your account up properly.

Ring PayPal and ask to remove the limit on income. It took 5 minutes to verify my account and remove the 2.5k limit - I took over $38k. PayPal only hold money when you don't set your account up properly.
Please xondat.You don't even know how Paypal treat their Asian customer.When I was living in Vietnam,they used to hold me $5000 for 3 months ,and everytime I tried to contact them ,they said :" We are checking". So I can understand lin's problem.

so many other groupbuys use paypal. what the hell is going on?



600 dollars and no protection? accounts with barely any history? this groupbuy is looking sketchy as ****
it's okay bro, you don't have to join.

You're one of the makers or GB providers aren't you?
You can't possibly go around and say things like moneygram is okay and you don't care... lol

Come on man.

I mean if you are not comfortable with dealing through moneygram, you don't have to join.

Lynn would have used PayPal, if it's more approachable like how it used to be. It's no fun when PayPal decided to hold 30% of the total transaction for the next 3-6 months. We are talking about 60k US$ worth of transaction. What if USD - KRW drops tremendous over the next few months under the leadership of President Trump? Well, that's something we can't predict? Plus Lynn is probably making only 15% profit out of the GB, max. I don't think it's a risk worth taking. Considering he is not doing this full time.

Perhaps all GB should be done through Massdrop in future, but some of you hate Massdrop. So idk.  :'(

So then GB leader can increase the price of the GB.

We're already paying over $500-600 and at this point the marginal increase of GB price isn't a problem.
I'd rather pay extra for a 100% protection than use this sketchy moneygram.

You still don't understand the problem. If PayPal holds his money ($20-30k), how is he supposed to put the order in? Use $20-30k of his own money? I'm not trying to be rude, but we don't know of another option. Do you have another option? I'm all ears. 

Believe me, I would love to use PayPal. It's simple and easy, except for the person receiving the money. As of right now, it's not possible.

I understand.  That's why I said to increase the price then by whatever much the PayPal is gonna hold onto.
Problem solved. lol

According to yuktsi, 30% (not sure it that's a solid number or not).

Lol $690 for a KB? Not even including the shipping cost? lol. $796 with shipping to US with that 30% hike. Don't think I could swallow that.

I'd say if PP isn't an option, we can rehash who's still down with the GB and see how many participants we have left.

I am afraid you can count me out.  I wish I could participate, but if something goes wrong (which can happen) we just don't have any recourse. For $100, maybe, but not this much.

Because the factory is in Korea, not china. Unless Lin wants to use the same manufacturer as x60.

So, as a final post for this discussion:

1. MoneyGram is currently the only payment option. Lin will contact PayPal tomorrow to see if it would be possible to do transactions through PayPal without funds being withheld. If PayPal is not a viable option, we will continue with MoneyGram. If you win the raffle but don't like the payment option, please respond to my email and tell me you're not interested or post on the thread. (Or post on the thread ahead of time so I don't waste my time sending 100+ emails)

2. The MoneyGram payment will go directly to Lin. This was already decided before the group buy. It eliminates a lot of hassles, fees, taxes, etc. Prior to the group buy, Lin and I decided this would be the best way. If for whatever reason you deem that Lin and I are not trustworthy, please PM me or post here and I will remove you from the list.

3. My role in the group buy: Lin asked that I handle the posts, questions, countless PMs, forms, emails, etc. etc. to prevent him from handling that. His English isn't at the level of someone like Kin, so I agreed to help him out - call me his "secretary" if you'd like. ;) I'm receiving a keyboard out of this and nothing else. From the beginning, I did this for the community. I'm newer to the community and hadn't yet contributed, so what better way than to bring the Dolphin and EM7 to GH?

If you have any questions or comments, please PM me.

I want to thank everyone else for being so understanding, helpful and for supporting this GB. This is my first go at a GB and Lin's first on GH as well. We're doing everything we can to make this a smooth, easy experience. We understand not everything is ideal, but understand that we're doing our best.

Also, if you'd like to meet me in person (in case you think I'm some fantasy, made-up person), I'll be at the Dayton, OH keyboard meet-up that I'll be helping put together in May. I was also at the Cleveland, OH meet-up a few months ago.
