where is geekhack backspace :(
I'd love the yellow Awesome face Esc key but I live in the UK and I'm not sure it'd be worth it when I only want the one key?\
Any other EU guy wanna 'piggyback' with me then?
There is a month of time to figure it out. Mull over the idea of more caps though; they will look great on your keyboard.

@rcolintaylor - any indication what the pricing tiers are? also any way to post totals of each key? If it's too much work that okay, since I was just curious... I'm glad this Gb is in the ordering phase and your making it happen :thumb:
As of right now its just $2 per ESC and $2.50 per Modifier; probably will be more based on lower results. I will have finalized numbers near the end but because we have to include tax I feel there is no point posting the scale until I find the time to actually factor in all of the fees involved.
Thanks for the information, totally understand your logic now.
<-- back to figuring out my order.
If you do everything in double digits I will send you a personalized note about how much I love you.
I dont know if i can do all in double digits but I will try to do my best...:cool:
an all awesome yellow Fn row would be a possiblity.

Might be a dumb question and I'm new to all of this. I have a Filco Tenkeyless Majestouch-2 with blue switches. Would the esc keys I order fit on the F1 - F12, WASD, or arrow keys?

Mackem, I'm in london. And I'm getting a bunch. I don't mind you piggybacking on my order, but you're gonna have to pay your shipping of the key from me to you.
Wanna 3 way that shiz? I'm interested, $5 (to get it to either of us) a pop if we do a UK one. Then like a quid or so for a jiffy and 1st class reg to each other. I also work in London, so we could do something extremely geeky and meet up you give me keycaps.
If the other 2 are game,
1x Red Awesome Face
1x Yellow Awesome Face
1x Red Escaping with KB
UK, London-ish.
Also, when does payment need to be made?

When ordering a product from the State of Washington sent to the State of Washington we have to pay Sales Tax. Income Tax, however, does not exist here.
Have we thought of making a payment from someone who wasnt in washington so we wouldnt have to pay the sales tax.... or is it insignificant in the grand scheme of things? What is the sales tax in washington...probably cant be as bad as cali though.
7.8%; I thought about it but didn't know if people wanted to have multiple people working on it.
Just let the group know.. there is probably someone who can pay and then have melissa still ship to you.
Hey RCT, which ones is the one with the guy running away with they keyboards?
Keyboard sans Escaping or Escaping con Keyboard?
Con; Sans is without man.
Damn latin words. I knew sans meant without, but I wanted to make sure.
In German we call it Tastaturimarsch.Show Image(http://deskthority.net/w/images/thumb/1/19/Escapekbd.png/150px-Escapekbd.png)
Which translates to "Keyboard in the Ass".
If you don't need a special account with paypal, I'm willing to use mine to pay for it (I'm in california) so we can avoid the sales tax.
you sure about that? i remember rag saying he got his friend to pay for them to also avoid the tax. and he's the one receiving the keycaps.
ah, i see.
well, i wouldn't mind help distributing.
well, whatever you plan to do just let me know.
no problem.
i will try to make it possible to also distribute (need the supplies really, since i can just prep it all in one weekend) so it'll all be done by one person.
I can have the keycaps sent to the same friend no problem, that'll avoid having it shipped more than necessary.
I'm going to get:
2x Japan flag
3x Awesome Red
1x Nuclear symbol
3x LOD
1x Jolly roger

Did the Japan keys get changed to a bigger sun?
Yea, japan is now larger. Its a 6mm diameter red circle centered on a white key.
So it is just 1mm or so bigger then the original ones?
(Attachment) 30711[/ATTACH]
How are you guys measuring this because the ones I have are like 5mm(diameter)
I am basing it on the relation between the original image and my own measurement-based view of the new design. The old design was more 4-5mm while this one will be 6mm; nearly double if not double the area of red.
(Attachment) 30712[/ATTACH]
Ok I understand now it will be 43.75% larger or 1.4375 * original size
well then I think I will have to order another set then
Hi. I'll take a couple of the dude running with the keyboard.
I'm in Ontario.
Don't have PayPal, but can use Visa.
I can transfer funds to PayPal using my Visa.
When it comes time for me to send out the invoices, you will receive an email from paypal saying you have a Invoice needing paid. You then can pay that with your Visa.
Don't want to sign up for PayPal....what if I just pay in advance....then there's not need to send me notice of payment due.
Fine, I'll take my chances with getting limited key caps from EKB then. :P
Sorry this system doesn't work for you; its the same one that everyone uses around here.
Not a big deal, I can live without these. :)
Paypal is not that bad, I mean yes they are bastards in some respects but if your just buying stuff through them its not bad. By the way Canada is awesome, I lived in Detroit growing up so from the age of 19 - 21 I really enjoyed puking in Ontario. Oh and your smokes are too expensive!
Anyways what I am saying is that you should get a paypal account because EKB doesnt sell double shots and these are going to be great
Op, can you add reaper and Tennobanzai to my order? We are going to share shipping.

You spelled my name wrong >>
No I didn't.
:D
Very interested but had two questions so if anyone who knows for sure can pipe in, pls do.
[1] On a Filco, the top two rows are identical in terms of shape/profile so for any key in this buy thats labelled as an ESC key, is it safe to assume it wont look out of place in a 1x slot in either of the top two rows on a Filco ?
[2] I am assuming that, a key cannot be ordered in a shape other than what is stated by the OP. For example, I assume that the nuke key cannot be ordered as a modifier ?
More Lotus!
thanks Rcolintaylor for updating the totals on the front page.... I know I havent put in my order yet, but hope to play the clean up hitter to get some numbers up..hehehe
I was hoping to get at least 4 lotus so I should be able to help there eventually.
Update my order please:
Running w/ keyboard: x3
Jolly Roger modifier: x2
Thanks
Just to make sure: The only changes were 1 more Running w/ Keyboard and 2 more (you had 0) Jolly Rogers.
I have you with the x3 and x2 but its always good to check to be 100%.
Yep, correct.
I believe I can help out w the numbers as well.
One question before I order: Is this GB seperate from Round4?
2x Red Awesome Face (Escape Key)

Yeah it's separate = ).
Comon help out, you'll get the keys much faster than R4.
He's gonna get every key x25 just watch ;p
So, uh, if I'm impatient and I'm going to order some R4 stuff, it would make sense to get what I can from this group buy, right? I can definitely bump that Yellow Awesome up to 75.

While your at it, bump up the lotus, it's a nice design.
Okay, okay. Got to do some serious number crunching and make dinner. Expect like a billion more LODs soon.

Round4 has my awesome face in spherical ;D
Round4 has my awesome face in spherical ;Dthey are able to doubleshot your face?
I'd also buy more to bump us up a price bracket!
I will update the total counts in a few minutes. After that you can decide if you want to participate in the boosting of different keys.
Edit: I updated all the prices/counts... all I have to do now is update the list of order-ers but that doesn't apply as much to the mid-ordering needs of people.
Thanks for the update...did we loose some from the lotus order I swear we were only 7 away and now we are 9 away from 25?

Edit: Placebo Guy's 30 Red Awesome Faces puts us at 76 for the total and has dropped the price of those from 4.38 to 2.71.
From your price list isnt the esc price for 75+ 1.76?
Dammit JPM you are right; I didn't realize he skipped the 50ct all together. I knew things didn't look right when his price was tallied.
Np...thanks for all the updates on the tallies.
Placebo Guy, my wallet thanks you for helping drive the prices down.
Still waiting on an order from you JPM; Open that wallet up.

I actually had you already; Row25 on my spreadsheet. Current order price of pre-shipping at 7.55.
ah okay sorry about that
Alright; I have updated the OP with the names of everyone who has ordered up to this point and with the counts of all of the keys.
Jolly Roger is 8 away from a 40% price decrease.
Yellow Awesome Face is 15ct away from a $.30 decrease.
Red Awesome Face and LOD are both about 25 away from the $.30 decrease.
Solo KB has yet to get an order in three days.
I don't understand SP's price breakdowns...RCT probably knew and was gonna order 200 instead of 135 and then sell the rest later for a nice profit ;D
42 Jolly Rogers @ $4.67 is $196.14
100 Jolly Rogers @ $1.44 $144
The magic number is 31. Once we get 31 orders, we can order 100 and SAVE money.
It's also cheaper to order 200 Awesome faces right now than it is to order 135.
It's like Intel chips. You're paying for labor, not the plastic.
This has always been the case, now if only I had ordered 300 of each SC2 key lol. It is fair for the group buy organizer to order up to the next quantity in order to get extras and help with the cost of doing so. If a group buy doesn't get enough momentum to hit even the lowest price break, it isn't the organizer's responsibility to carry it without some benefit in return.

I'm not saying that running a group buy isnt hard btw I know you have to do a lot of emailing, organizing, mailing etc etc.
So in this case he would be sitting on 500 spare caps and still be under budget.
I think i'm gonna start running group buys just to profit off everyone.
I think i may have to buy more keys seeing has how much cheaper they are now ;)

Anyone have a picture of a red awesome face keycap?

i order 2x
I'm from Indonesia, Jember :)
Assuming these are the FIXED Awesome (the lower lip problem in Group Key Buy Three) and LOD keys (reversed in Group Key Buy Three) I'll take:
Red Awesome - 50
Yellow Awesome - 50
Red LOD - 50
Japan Flag - 5
Radioactive/Tape Reels - 5
Lotus - 1
Skull - 1
That should help bump the Awesomes and LODs into the $1 or so range.
Frankly I think you should bump the shipping/handling prices a bit and offer cash to somebody to do the shipping part.
Should bring down the prices for everyone - that 250 unit thing is a sweet spot in the price curve. Hell, if it gets close to 500 let me know and I'll buy bump it to that!
Sorry, I need to update mine and get rid of the lotus. I would like to replace it with 1 look of disapproval :) thanks!

of course! Thank you for including your previous order too; saves me soooo much time.
of course! Thank you for including your previous order too; saves me soooo much time.
How are you keeping track of our orders? Did you separated them or put them together? Because when I sent you my order, I had combined it with mackem and rich0d's.
I have all of the orders for combined-sets on one line under the name of the shipping destination/payment organizer. If you want I can give you a list of the current key totals for your group.
Yes please, because I had mackem down for just the yellow awesome, so if i can double check it it would be nice.

The 1.25x keys are Modifiers designed for Filco/Leopold/Cherry/etc front row modifiers; meant to replace Control/Alt/Windows/Menu.
thanks, man.
please put me down for 4 of them.
(4x Jolly Roger)
is the jolly roger only available for 1.25x keys? what does that mean? 1.25 inch wide modifier keys?
Before I do that I figured you may want to know that if I do that then your entire order is for less than $2 in keys.
Like I said, I'm sure paying somebody $100 would make that worth somebody's while. $5 surcharge per order seems reasonable.
This is what 1.25X looks like - Filco Style Modifiers.
(Attachment) 31779[/ATTACH]
If the glove don't fit acquit!
I think there are only a handful of keyboards using 1.5X these days.
SC2 ones are 1.25x bro, that's what they've always been.
Update my order! At this price, I'm gonna have to get:
LoD x10
man, going to suck for the person that has to pack these and ship them
Like I said, I'm sure paying somebody $100 would make that worth somebody's while. $5 surcharge per order seems reasonable.
sounds fair, at the amount we're touching.. that's a lot of counting
haha, yeah and now it's under $1.50.. but I primarily only rotate ESC keys D: let's do this instead:
Red Awesome Face (Escape Key) x1
Jolly Roger (1.25x Modifier) x1
Keyboard sans Escaping (Escape Key) x1
Look of Disapproval (Escape Key) x1
I'm also thinking of increasing my order, but don't want to do it small bits by bit as the prices get cheaper. Gonna wait till like last week-ish to add on 10ish keys (if things get even cheaper).
Let's add 2 more of:
Awesome Face
Red Awesome Face
LoD
Bringing my total to 3 of each - previous was 1,1, and 1.
Are there any other price points above 500?
I was hoping they would have a price mark for 350 or something in between 250 and 500
360 costs the same as 500. Theres a price marker for ya.
Pretty sure we're gonna hit 360 for awesome+LoD...
There is only 8 (eight) days left so I think you can safely consider it in the final week.
Alright, I updated your order Hazeluff.
If we want to update our order do we post here or PM you?
Ooh.. prices went down. I updated my order here (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?23525-Order-Thread-Novelty-Doubleshot-Group-Buy-Buy-More-than-you-already-have!&p=443031&viewfull=1#post443031).
While I wouldn't mind taking a $5 surcharge I cannot, reasonably, make everyone do it. It is unfair to charge a set amount of money to do the packing/handling when some people are not even ordering $5 worth of keys.

Sweet; i will update that.
I am really glad that isn't doable in doubleshot.That awesome face is far more awesome then the awesome face we have now
360 costs the same as 500. Theres a price marker for ya.
If this is correct, I'll be adding 80 Red Awesome Faces to my order.
That is what my maths tell me.
$.71 x 360 = 255.6
$.51 x 500 = 255
I'll update my order closer to deadline. Perhaps a 104 keyset of Red Awesome Face is still a little too costs prohibitive. Although, the tenkeyless version may be doable.
Colin, has Kick PM'd you about adding his order to mine since we're in the same area?
Lol I was just wondering because he contacted me this morning but I haven't heard back.

I was thinking the same about a keyboard full of awesome faces
If you do it then I will write you both a personalized love letter.
Haha. How much do I need to hit 87 for yellow awesome face?
I think I'm at 30 right now, but I'll check when I get home and I'll pm you. Might have to cut back on some modifier keys tho.
why do you need 87, you can't even fit it on the modifiers lol
It fits on the Modifiers but with some spaces.That would look so weird ;E
That would look so weird ;E
check your PM colin!
That would look so weird ;EBoard full of awesome faces would look awesome :P

hello, would like to ask, for 15 USD internation shipping, how many keycap can be delivered?
Currently, the keycap ordered are 183 keycaps.
will these fit a filco? sorry still kinda noob, wanted to get some keys but also be sure :)
Profile is a bit lower than filcos original key caps. But those will fit on any cherry mx switch
thanks guys, I just started in this dark world of mech keyboards, would you mind elaborating on what is a RGBY kit? googling brings up rugby information ;/
Hi - Can you replace my order with:
Yellow Awesome Face: x4
Red Awesome Face: x4
Jolly Roger: x4
Nuclear: x4
Look of Disapproval: x4
Lets push Jolly Roger and Nuclear to 100!
Shipped to Canada
Awesome! Let's keep ordering more and adjusting numbers!
RC could you bump my order (the one that is with oneproduct) to:
+5 Yellow Awesome Face
+6 Red Awesome Face
+5 Look of Disapproval
So, for me, it would total to 7 of each of the faces. I'm doing this because I just turned two female coworkers to the dark side of the mechanical keyboards.
Thank you!
Didn't see my name on the list of people ordering. Wondering if you got my order. Thanks.
PM With extra information sent.
Wow. Yellow Awesome hit 500 unit pricing.
I think I'll be ordering MOAR!
I'll add a few to my order:
+1 Yellow Awesome Face
+1 Red Awesome Face
+1 Escaping con Keyboard
so what you're saying is that i have to buy more
Add a Nuclear to my order please...
3x LoD
3x Red Awesome
3x Yellow Awesome
1x Nuclear
(Prev was 3,3,3, no nuclear)
Please add an extra 80 Red Awesome to my order for a total of 110 Red Awesome.
At the rate we're going, just hope I won't need a forklift to get it to the UPS counter.
Also, I swear I won't bath in all your keycaps before sending them off. =)
I sent you a pm with all the required information, but I don't see myself on the list.... what else do i need to do for you to take my money?!!! hahahahaha
Happy Tuesday!
Here's the latest from Melissa:
Breaks are as follows:750 pcs $0.45 / each1000 pcs $0.40 / each
Enjoy!
EDIT: 784 would be the magic number to get the 1000ct price; figured I would calculate that for fun.
Yellow Awesome Face x15
Red Awesome Face x2
Jolly Roger x4
Nuclear x1
Keyboard in the Ass x2
Keyboard Alone x1
Look of Disapproval x5
Lotus x1
los angeles, ca, usa
yessssss! another jolly roger order! gogogo lol'
Wow, all of a sudden the insane dream of an all awesomeface keyboard can be a reality
So far two people have achieved this dream; one in Yellow and one in Red have been planned.
Sounds more like a nightmare! lol
How do you calculate the significance number (784)?
x=(py*y)/px
x number you seek
y 1000
py 0,40 price for y caps
px 0,51 current price
Wait, but if we buy 784, then it's 0.45 a keycap, no?
Hey, i'm new to the forum and have a quick question about these keys.
Would they fit on a g6v2 Steelseries keyboard?
If so i'm in for at least a couple
Yes they will

I'd totally do a whole awesome face keyboard if they came in the different row shapes rather than all row 4 lol
Somebody needs to do a poker (awesome) face set up.

Thank you csm725 for the answers! Do you post on OCN? You're name is familiar, is your avatar a trollface on the "no avatar" avatar with "csm" under it or something? I haven't just checked, that's just really familiar for some reason.

Completely off topic (probably very stupid too), I won't actually be building a new PC until about March-ish time (when Ivy Bridge and Kepler should be out) so I'm just getting these keycaps now as I thought these sort of things don't come across often (maybe I should have waited for this "round 4" thing, oh well). I was planning on ordering a Majestouch-2 TKL UK layout with MX Browns from keyboardco when they get them back in stock in December. It will be remaining in the box until I build a new PC as I am using a laptop now. For some reason I thought that Filco didn't make keyboards anymore, although I was probably just stupid enough to believe something I read on 4chan. Does anyone think I should still buy it now (even though it will remain in the box for ~5 months) or wait until I have built a new computer. What are your thoughts of their being price drops on the Majestouch-2 or a "Majestouch-3" appearing?I would buy it the second you can if I were you. I don't think there any any plans for a Majestouch-3. BTW Ivy Bridge will reduce power consumption and increase integrated GPU power, the chip itself won't be any better. Kepler is a valid reason to wait, even if only for the 5XX series' price drops.
Yes. That would be me. ;)I don't actually have an account on OCN, I just lurk.
I'm on OCN more often, so feel free to PM me with any questions.

Woohoo - Yellow Awesome > 500.This is so hard for me, I'm such a copycat as I've seen so many awesome layouts on here! I'd like to copy OP with the checkerboard (I suppose I'll have to wait for this "round 4" thing).

I'll do a matching program on the Red Awesome - let's get that one to 500 too!
however I don't know if I should just have a pattern of red face, yellow face (inter-something (maybe), I forgot the word) it's just the different size of the faces puts me off.Show Image(http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k221/undarken/keyboard%20randoms/Disapproval.jpg)

What is the point of this order thread if all of the keys (the awesome and lotus anyway) can be bought from the round four?
Round 4 will ship when Herman Cain becomes president. Or in Jail. Whichever happens first.

Red Awesome Face (Escape Key) x5
Yellow Awesome Face (Escape Key) x5
Look of Disapproval (Escape Key) x5
I will send you a PM shortly.
Did you imagine it would have gotten this massive?
Remember that if you need to change an order you have to PM me; there has been far too much activity to sort through all of the changes.
Also, because of some unforseen counts in keys the pricing structure for overseas has to change. For orders over ~250 keys the shipping will be either double or triple depending on the count/size. This will be done in the form of multiple small flat rates or in the form of one medium size box (The prices being $15/per and $45/per respectively). There are only a few people who have super high amount of keys ordered at this point in time. I will also be contacting those Domestic orders which exceed the 250ct about the similar problem but for much smaller shipping cost increases (about $5 more).
On a brighter side, we have some massive new counts. So much so that I have to contact SP about more discounts over 1000ct and because of this invoices may be delayed for a few days.
I will update the OP as soon as possible with these new numbers but as a teaser: Yellow Awesome currently has 1228.
Plz check the shipping cost then confirm in OP. Mine is about ~240pcs keycaps and I will order more if it have to be done in form of the medium size box =P
I wonder how 7bit feels about this...I can picture him sitting back laughing and saying "feel my pain"

4000 keycaps and counting.
7bit must be hurt
I pull my hat!more colours!!!!
This is the largest mini-group buy ever!
In Round 3, my price for a yellow Awesome key was $1.5 while SP sold it for $0.49, so I think folks are better off this way.
edit:
Advise to the OP:
Prolonge the group buy until after Christmas and add more color-choices to get more keys and lower prices (which causes people get more keys and cause lower prices (which ...) ).
So is there any more price breaks after 500?
Colin, invoice includes shipping right? if so, how much was the final price?
Colin, invoice includes shipping right? if so, how much was the final price?
Yes they do.
Edit: too slow...
RCT why am I invoice 0002? I was first to order!
When is the deadline for payment? from the OP it mentions Dec 1st is that correct or is it before that date?
Whisker requested an early invoice so I made sure to send his out first; he was #40 or something so I wanted to be sure he got his.
WHISKERS!!!!
Damnit why did people have to wait until the last day to order mass amounts. I would have gotten more if the prices were as low as they suddenly dropped today....
Looks like you don't need me to help with any quantities, if you want me to PM me or something.
Everyone except the following people should have received an invoice:
Hawkwind
Jinzo.PK3
Laggy-Gaga
Nokcha
Ripster
jil_jil32
Clickey
mickd
marclgw
cyclonechuah
Tap69k
Fobbah
I am working on shipping for those listed people and should have those invoices out by the end of the week.
If you are not listed and have no received an invoice then send me a PM and we will figure out what went wrong.
Payment sent! Has anybody in the UK ever done one of these "smaller" group buys before? How long can I expect to be waiting before I get these keys?Damn it, I thought it was hazeluff trolling cuz he JUST bought some keys from like 3 different group buys lol
Damn it, I thought it was hazeluff trolling cuz he JUST bought some keys from like 3 different group buys lol
To answer your question, after money is received, SP will manufacture it could take a few weeks+ then ships them out to whoever is doing distro, then probably another 2 or so weeks before you get it depending on how fast they are. That is for a small group buy, but this one on the other hand is quite big like what almost 4000 keys? This will probably take a bit longer then usual.

Nah I mean I thought Kagami-Hiiragi was you, and Kagami-Hiiragi asked a question you would already know the answer to lol
I'm assuming I didn't get an invoice because I'll just be handing you cash when I get back from break.
I think the $3000 in invoices freaked Paypal out a little bit... just had a call from them where I had to explain myself.
Good to know that they have active fraud detection going on though. Did they hassle you once you explained it?
paid!about a month to make them.
this is my first time with anything like this. can anyone tell me how long the process is for the whole thing? like when can we expect the keycaps to be shipped?
for the prices we got them at, i think we can handle the wait.
Hopefully we get these babies sent out before the new USPS price hikes, otherwise RCT gets bent over and arse-raped. =(
wow a month and a half is a long time.
Hrmm... As far as I can tell, I haven't received an invoice? I checked the PM'd email address, paypal account, and PMs here.
That is because I botched your email address in the invoice; I will be resending it immediately to the correct email.
Also, because the spacebars have been cancelled, I have removed that from your order.
(I will be refunding all fulfilled invoices that had spacebars on them).
Wow, that's cheap! If it's not far too obnoxious, could you give me a sec to add a couple small things to the order and then send me another invoice? I probably should've done that the other day, but things have been a bit hectic around here. I've got to head to work in a few, but I feel like I should take advantage of the awesome prices that we ended up getting.
What I have been doing is having people pay the first invoice and then sending a second invoice, devoid of shipping costs, for the additional keys. It makes it so that the first, necessary payment, gets in on time and then the second one can be done at will.
Ripster: "Not really. It's some keyboard forum and the dude has an honest Avatar".lol
So... a little hickup... Paypal has frozen my account and won't let me do anything with it until I prove delivery of everyone's keys...
Exactly.
You can always use me as a reference.
Here's my sister.
(Attachment) 32822[/ATTACH]
Thats fast for a group buy! round 4 might take in excess of 6 months
damn i should get in on that now then... lol
i may need new keys in four months.
so what the heck is going on with paypal being frozen? do they realize that you need that money to pay the company to get them shipped?
Should we all call paypall (log in, contact us, via phone - they have a toll free number, at least for Australia), and let them know this is a legitimate transaction and we don't appreciate them meddling with our transactions?
Has RColinTaylor breeched their TOS in some way to trigger this or is he just "suspicious"? Is he allowed to even discuss the issue on an open forum or does that just breech some other bull**** aspect of their TOS.

Amazon has a similar system in place, I believe. Of course they might have the same issues as Paypal...
Or there's always bitcoin.
They are a cute idea, but i would have to agree with hazeluff - i don't trust bitcoin just yet in that it has not stabilized as a currency as far as I am aware. Maybe one day soon.
What i was referring to was alternative forms of payment like google checkout for merchants in the USA/UK, merchant inc for USA merchants, paymate for merchants in USA/AUS/NZ, the list goes on.
What about western union? Anybody have much experience with them?
Amazon payments? Bitcoin should not be used for something like this. Too much work and our goal now is to get payscum to cooperate as theyre a poor excuse of a company

why dont we have a website where we can go that has a "cart" and we can just order all the stuff we want, and when there is enough someone does the order with SP?
sounds really easy...
Is there any more news on the subject? Has anybody tried calling? It's a shame for this to happen on my first order, just my luck eh?
I hope this all gets resolved, there's not a chance that this is all going to mess up right?
Cos when you do that, people need to pay money right away (or waits for invoice). But the cart still means money needs to be paid somewhere (e.g paypal). If there isn't enough interested we'd need to refund. This system works.
i wouldnt mind paying right away. and you could use google checkout or something like that.
i think it would be awesome because it could be more automated, there could even be a counter showing how many of each key are already bought and payed for. and it would automatically inform someone, or send an order to signature plastics as soon as the counter (which everyone could see) gets to a certain number of keys.
1. im guessing there are web designers here
2. im guessing if we added a penny for each key/set that was sold, and that amount was put into a separate account, they could get a small chunk of change for their contributions. or the money could to go supporting geekhack itself. or go back into designing the webpage.
The only thing a website could be useful for is not using PM and for orders before payment. The current price would be dynamic depending on orders. It would just simplify things for people.

I have talked to Paypal on the phone about four times now. Each time I talk to them they are either transferring it off to their review department or telling me it has been rejected.
Formally, my account is locked because I have failed to show proof of shipping to the invoices that have been fulfilled (Its eight invoices currently but I am sure that once I prove those ones it would be even more on top of that that they want proof of).
Today I gave them the website for Sp/Keycapsdirect and the woman on the phone said she would add it to my case file. To them this is a "Pre-Sale" and the concept of group buy has been lost every time it goes to review so I stopped bothering with that terminology. The invoices make me a seller of a product and because I have not shipped that product I am fraudulent, and therefore I have a hold on my account.
That's really strange, I didn't have any issues, though my account has been active longer... I'm not sure what to tell you man, that sucks. Hopefully it all gets sorted out, since (lol) I'll probably have to end up doing it if it doesn't.

Hopefully it all gets sorted out, since (lol) I'll probably have to end up doing it if it doesn't.When you have an old account it doesn't get flagged like this, new ones that been active for <6 months will be under the radar, they will start to hold your money till you ship the item out or limit the account all together.

Just like RCT said because he invoiced the people that means PayPal assumes you have the item on hand and will only release once it sends out.
See RCT exactly what I said, the run around and nothing gets done, oh how much I hate PayPal
PayPal... sigh...if only there were a better alternative. If it were me, I'd bank transfer, cept I'm in a different country... Remittance would be such a waste of money.
I really don't understand why there is no proper banking system in the US like we have here in Europe ...
7bit sabotage this so he can get +4,000 in R4 :rofl:
What kind of banking system?

if i could order five chinese 20$/hour slaves , im sure i could make those keys handpainted in less than a week..
Actually the banking system in Europe is **** too... the **** is the same , only the smell is diferent...
I think RCT said that if the next appeal fails he'll have the money refunded by deleting the invoices or something.
If you want RCT I can take care of everything, from contacting SP, shipping, and money, only if you want me to of course.
Thank you for all the hard work! And yes PayPal is retarded like that :(
If you want to do that then I am more than willing to work with you. I have the spreadsheet still so the buy is only technically set back by about one to two weeks.I have no problem doing everything all together since the money would be going through my PayPal I just want to have control over everything that's all.
I have no problem doing everything all together since the money would be going through my PayPal I just want to have control over everything that's all.
I also travel up to Canada a lot too so I can do shipping for our friendly neighbour up north so it doesn't have to go through customs.
Oh, and I just got off the phone with Paypal for the fourth time tonight: They are in the process of mass-refunding everyone right now and they said it would be a couple of hours. I will get an email once they are done stating everything was refunded.
PayPal reversed this payment and returned the money to your PayPal account.
Credit to Credit Card
So how the hell do these PayPal "reversals" work? I get:
Do not understand. There's no returned money anywhere. Also if you Google "paypal reversal" it looks like they just take your money and call it a "reversal fee".
Great.
EDIT: Seems they tried to send money to my credit card but you can't. What the hell.
I paid with my Paypal balance but I'm not seeing the refund.
Namkung and Kraise: The paypal records that I have show, for the both of you, that a Reversal was enacted for the both of you. Likewise, the value of your invoice was also removed from my account.
I am not 100% sure on how the Reversal process works, I just know that on my end 95% of the invoices were reversed by the paypal staff.

You do see it says DEAD! right.
I think it can reverse to your CC. But I believe it will most likely reverse to your paypal account; Check your paypal balance.
I received mine last night.
Did you check your paypal account? They refunded me and it didn't go back to my checking account but it's instead sitting in my paypal account.
Yep. Empty.
I just filed it today. Said the reason for refund request was "group buy was cancelled". They withdrew the funds, $134.90, 11/23/2011 from my banking account.
Just trying to keep it moving along.
Heads up to those waiting on their refunds: I found mine today, listed next to the original transaction from three weeks ago or whatever (as opposed to showing up at the top as a new transaction).
I'd still like my money back.
Please.
I called Paypal and they informed me that while as of today all of the reversals are sent out they will take longer for those who used Credit Cards.
Also, if you open up a dispute against this buy then, well, sucks for you. You will actually get your money LAST because I have to go back and manually call paypal about each claim, sort it out with them, and then have them close the dispute. And, because it frustrates me when people do this, I am not very motivated to do it. The Reversals are sent out, just sit on your hands and wait.
Sorry to bother you, but I still don't see a refund even though I had paid using paypal balance. (didn't even know we can use credit cards for group buys)
Anyway, I will wait for a few more days...
Did everyone else get a refund?
I think a few people are still waiting for theirs, ie ripster
Some people got their refunds back today and made payment to me, not quite sure what the hold up is.

NO REFUND YET! :(
Anybody having the same problem?
Ok, then I guess I'll have to file a dispute. Thanks.
call them.
the reverse was there, but for some reason it was being held temporarily. i gave them a call and within 20 mins (due to 4 stupid reps that didnt know what they were doing) i got the money back in my account
Just called them up, they filed a dispute for me.
