Have just paid for more Toxic goodness .
Another thing of note here on Geekhack is that when someone runs a Group Buy you will get the inevitable group of Moron's who will do an unnecessary Charge-back via Paypal because they never had the spare money to be in this Group Buy to begin with.
(~Rant begins here~)
Needless to say that are usually new scumbags (and they know who they are) that have literally fvcked it for the rest of us by causing the Paypal freeze on Bunny's account. Unfortunately these same scumbags still reside here thinking they got away with it. I just lament that the next Group Buy being run because these same poverty stricken morons think they will derail another group buy in the future because they think we have no means of punishing them.
That is the glory of the internet complete anonymity to the bottom dwelling sh1trags, masquerading as new Geekhacker's. Personally I would love to herd these pieces of sh1t into my workshop and each one address with a steel-hammer of justice until what's left of their empty headed craniums are spilt all over the concrete floor. The local bull-ants and clean up the rest.
BunnyLake is too decent to say anything so I've taken the initiative and decided to voice MY concern in the usual 'subtle' way. Of course I am not scared to voice my own opinion on this but everyone is dancing around these moron's who conduct these foul charge-backs like their some special people, they're not. All they are is the worse type of cowards that conduct their evil business of making promises then shying away into the darkness hoping they won't be discovered.
Maybe that is why every sane person has left any Group Buys to be run by PMK because who wants to suffer this type of misery at the hands of these myopic twats who still continue to derail Group Buy's. Maybe in the end it's far better just to close the whole process of Group Buys because for the organizer that has to always suffer the torture and degradation at the hands of these scumbags.

I wonder why anyone would want to ever run a Group Buy here on this site?
its all good sir, it was a while ago now, and we have implemented things to make sure we don't have issues again, for most people stripe will be fine, and for the few people that it isn't good for, paypal is not a problem, the chargebacks triggered the issue and review, but really with the volume of transactions we were doing through paypal there was bound to be an issue
we won't be stopping running gbs, we have our gmk buy ready to go, I'm just waiting to clear out some of the stuff we need shipping stateside so we don't get too backed up
we worked really hard on the new site and almost all of the feedback is positive, the only issues so far really are people who only have paypal as a payment method, but as i say, i have no problem accepting paypal under those circumstances
the addition of stripe just makes this process smoother and safer for everyone involved, and offers me a lot more options
i really appreciate everyones concerns, but i don't want a witch hunt, as i say, the chargebacks caused the review but the route issue is a huge amount of transactions that ship outside of their 45 day paypal window so they deem it high risk
all is sorted now and I'm really looking forward to the future with [CTRL]ALT and everyone that supports us
