I see where you have me on the invoiced list, but neither of my paypal accounts has an invoice from you in it.

Paid, and given "the look" by my wife. All that's left for me is getting them.

My apology, because I joined my fellow forumer in Malaysia to share the shipping,
so I try canceling my order by entering 0 on each of my previous order, but maybe I didn't clean the order form correctly,
and I m now charged for $21.89 USD include postage (international?), may I know what did I ordered (accidentally)?
can I cancel it?

So I assume "the look" you got was not the "come over here and leave your pants over there" kind of look.

Yes, that only happens when you actually buy something for her (ie, Diamond neckless, Cartier Watch, New Car..........)

wasabah · « **Reply #65 on:** Wed, 27 February 2013, 02:21:16 »

Can you please confirm that there happened some kind of mistake?
I received two invoices. One was for the price that was listed on the group buy page, which I paid.
The other one is way higher (193,28 USD) and surely not meant for me.

wasabah · « **Reply #67 on:** Wed, 27 February 2013, 02:26:38 »

Yes, at least they both show up in my paypal account.
(One as paid with today's date, the other one with yesterday's date as still open.)

I believe one has been sent to the old (wrong) address but paypal forwarded it anyway. Now it's the middle of the night in CA

Ron will check it in the morning

tjcaustin · « **Reply #80 on:** Wed, 27 February 2013, 10:50:44 »

Not to be that guy, but while I did receive the test email, I did not receive an invoice. Could there be some kind of typo or paypal issue?

alaricljs · « **Reply #81 on:** Wed, 27 February 2013, 10:52:58 »

Yes, paypal is known to be prejudiced... are you perhaps Belgian?

tjcaustin · « **Reply #82 on:** Wed, 27 February 2013, 11:02:03 »

Not the last time I checked, no.

Fighting with PayPal today. Will fix individual problems manana. TJ will get his invoice.

FYI, if you did not know, PayPal is not happy with the whole 'group buy' thing. I am trying to make them happy with this one.

You mean they don't like $10k coming into an account? ORLY?

wasabah · « **Reply #90 on:** Wed, 27 February 2013, 21:26:10 »

I don't get it, why wouldn't they like it? They get a whole lot of money out of it..

alaricljs · « **Reply #91 on:** Wed, 27 February 2013, 21:27:57 »

srsly, they need to act like a responsible financial institution 100%, not just when it suits them.

Good Morning.

PayPal is set up for eBay sellers and buyers. And their policies and practices are designed to ensure that if you buy something from an eBay seller, that eBay seller really exists and will actually send you the thing you bought. And all of their verifications are designed to ensure that the eBay seller is a real person, who has the items in stock and is shipping them out promptly.

But in a group buy situation, most of that doesn't apply. Nevertheless, the automated systems at PayPal kick in when a small flood of purchases are made.

So as soon as you all started paying into the new Group Buy Service account at PayPal (thanks for that!), they demanded a bunch of documentation from me to prove I was that eBay-seller they like. And until I do so to their satisfaction, PayPal will keep your money safe from me and my nefarious henchmen at SP.

To be clear, the problems with PayPal were anticipated, and annoying, but your money is safe.

Checking the status this morning, I see that I have proved to their satisfaction that (1) I am a real person, (2) the Group Buy Service is actually what I am doing, that (3) you meant to send money for the things you wanted, and that (4) the Group Buy Service has ordered the items from Signature Plastics.

Now all I need to do is (seriously) show them that the Group Buy Service (5) pays utility bills in my name and work address, (6) has a phone billed to a matching name and address, and (7) can provide tracking numbers for shipments already made. They don't like what I've done for #5 and #6, and I don't know what I'll say about #7.

All of the above is why I wanted to keep the large/vendor orders out of PayPal.

Anyhow, this was anticipated, and we spent a bunch of time and effort doing everything above-board and legally. Now we have to prove it to PayPal.

Now that I know that I was successful in four out of seven attempts on Day One, I'll continue to work on the final three while your payments continue to come in. And today I really will have time to update the OP/status post and address all of the questions about invoices and addresses people have sent to me and/or Matt3o.

TL;DR PayPay is making things hard on the group buy, but please pay the invoices and it will all be worked out.

More in a bit,

- Ron | samwisekoi
