What kind of tracking do they want?

tsangan · « **Reply #851 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 17:21:18 »

problem with that is some of the payments are in the hundreds and if i send something like for example first class mail and the item is keyboard keycaps it doesn't really make sense that it's only 1-2 oz, of course they can't say much unless the sender of the money complains, but not really sure if i want to go ahead and take that route.

That's crap - is there anything we can do to help or would it just bring unwanted attention?

tsangan · « **Reply #853 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 17:49:33 »

Nah it's fine, nothing anyone can do now

I'll just wait the 4-5 weeks and see how it pans out once i ship out those 11 people's packages and see if the let me off, if they don't I wait 6 months to get back my $2,000 and in the meantime can't buy anything online

GG paypal.

screw over the people that use your stupid ass service.

tsangan · « **Reply #855 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 17:52:31 »

Forking out $2,000 in advance isn't too bad but now I can't buy anything, now that sucks

How do we avoid this in the future? How is 7bit planning on avoiding this? I heard a similar thing happened to the guy who wrote minecraft and he had over 600k in there!

We can't what we're doing is against PayPal TOS, though they really should look into this as every major forum has GBs

Does accepting gift payments have anything to do with it?

demik · « **Reply #859 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 20:20:58 »

paypal doesn't let you take payments for preorders.

if you're going to sell something, you better have it on hand ready to ship.

but gb don't work that way, and paypal is full of idiots.

Nope, it's just a mass amount of payments they just want to see where im getting my inventory from which I have SP's invoice and they just want to know im shipping out my items hence the 11 tracking they want to see.

With that said I still have a bad feeling they will keep me limited even if i give them all the info they want.

I'm so sorry to hear the problems you are having with this Group Buy. If you can't sort this mess out with Paypal, then please keep my amount I paid as compensation for all your hard effort in trying to get this off the ground.

Maybe in the future it now spells an end to Group Buys in general.........but who knows?

Anyway, Tsangan, thanks for everything you tried to do. I really do appreciate it.

Nah everything is paid for already thankfully, we're just waiting on the keys to come in and then i ship out

GB is still good, just that I have to spend $2,000 out of my own pocket since PayPal locked all the funds I was going to use on shipping

bellaisa · « **Reply #865 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 21:08:48 »

how much will the extra sets costs if we want a set and missed this GB?

The hell. . . . Really I'm sorry to hear that @@. Wonder if there is any alternative way of payment instead of keep getting all the BS from PP. . .

Cash in a paper bag left at a dead drop site. Wait, I'm thinking of something else...

Hak Foo · « **Reply #870 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 22:55:29 »

I'd be happy to resell my group buy, for an appropriate price.

It cost me about $65 (base plus tenkey)... so add the "ignored the thread for several weeks" tax, compensate for inflation and the collectible aspect... and you get about US$400. I accept all major currencies.

fstop · « **Reply #871 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 23:13:33 »

We're buying his services for running a group buy. In return, he gifts us awesome keys :biggrin:. Think paypal will buy that?

Hak Foo · « **Reply #872 on:** Thu, 03 May 2012, 23:42:43 »

If they want to go after anyone for selling goods they don't have, I bet half of eBay qualifies-- particularly any of the "we're in Hong Kong and probably were just a post-office box that just ship things out once we collect enough orders to justify ordering a case from the real manufacturer"

mkawa · « **Reply #873 on:** Fri, 04 May 2012, 01:45:15 »

unfortunately, this is why they have these silly rules.

alternatives: amazon payments, google payments, kickstarter, using seed money from somewhere to start pre-buying inventory. am i missing anything?

zirb · « **Reply #874 on:** Fri, 04 May 2012, 02:31:06 »

man tsangan, sorry to hear about the trouble you got with PayPal

I think we should check the alternatives mkawa said. Has anyone used google payments?

In my experience, Dealextreme ships things as far as 3 weeks after getting my money. I bet they don't have the items when I placed the order.

great idea! next time anybody wants to pay for a group buy, be sure to choose "SERVICES", not "GOODS".

Do you have an estimated shipping time so I can update my shipping address?

when you need to change it let me know, domestic shipping takes 2-3 days international takes 6-10 days

estimated shipping time is useless as it's estimated and if you provide me the address and for some reason it is ahead of schedule then what happens?

I mean the estimate time that the key will be available to be shipped because I'm kind of moving around this summer but still stay in the US. thanks tsangan

tsangan · « **Reply #881 on:** Mon, 14 May 2012, 16:18:13 »

June?

Since it's domestic literally just PM me a week before you move, when the keys are done should be insignificant, if i tell you June 12th and you provide me with new address but for some reason they come earlier and I ship to new address that would not be good.

ekw808 · « **Reply #882 on:** Mon, 14 May 2012, 16:18:21 »

Solanin · « **Reply #883 on:** Fri, 18 May 2012, 04:23:38 »

shipping June. . . then mine may arrive in July . . . . *patiently waiting*

cyclonechuah · « **Reply #884 on:** Sat, 19 May 2012, 16:39:17 »

hello, tsangan, i might also need to change my shipping address due to i'm moving to my new house. Estimated moving to new house would be 1st or 2nd Week of June.

wiredPANDA · « **Reply #885 on:** Tue, 22 May 2012, 10:52:57 »

Forgot I had an order for these. My summer just got that much better when I realized I'd be receiving some keys in the next few months.

Jayne · « **Reply #886 on:** Wed, 23 May 2012, 07:18:25 »

Looks like I really missed out on this set. If anyone has a spare set they can sell me, then please PM me.
I am looking for a Base Set and the 10keypad Add-on Kit.

You should follow this thread, when it is done and tsangan has them I'm sure there are going to be some leftovers for sale (you should also check the classifieds by then).

yes they will fit on a poker. no one has theirs yet to sell. extras will probably appear in the classifieds when the gb actually ends.

No reason for there to be an update. Tsangan submitted the order to Signature Plastics, we're just waiting on the keys to be produced, sent to him, organized, and sent out.

Jayne · « **Reply #899 on:** Mon, 28 May 2012, 01:47:44 »

Can someone post a close up picture of the keys when they get a set? I really want to see how they came out when they are finished.
