fuck paypal too
Overview
What is a chargeback?
A chargeback, also known as a reversal, occurs when a buyer asks a credit card company to reverse a transaction that has already cleared. A buyer may file a chargeback with his/her card issuer based on credit card association regulations and timeframes.
Although a chargeback may appear similar to a PayPal claim, it’s actually a process that is granted to a cardholder by their credit card company and initiated outside of PayPal. In a dispute over a chargeback, the decision is ultimately made by the credit card company and PayPal can’t control the outcome.
Two common reasons for reversals or chargebacks are:
* A buyer’s credit card number is stolen and used fraudulently. * A buyer makes a purchase, but believes that the seller failed to fulfill their side of the agreement (for example, they did not ship the item, shipped an item that was very different from the seller's description, or the item was damaged when the buyer received it).
All sellers who accept credit card payments run the risk of being liable for chargebacks. Chargebacks are among the unfortunate costs of doing business. Many sellers factor this cost into their business risk model.
Thanks a lot PayPal. How fucking useful have you been.
That fucking sucks. I’d be calling the CC company and the buyer. Lawyer up if you have to. Find and save any email/aim/PM convo you’ve had with the buyer as well.
EDIT: If this buyer is in the Buffalo area…let me know. I have a couple buddies that are always down for breaking kneecaps.
They won’t give me the credit card info/company. Paypal really washes their hands of this:
4.4 Risk of Reversals, Chargebacks and Claims. When you receive a payment, you are liable to PayPal for the full amount of the payment plus any Fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment, plus the applicable Fees listed in section 8 of this Agreement if you lose a Claim or a Chargeback, or if there is a Reversal of the payment. You agree to allow PayPal to recover any amounts due to PayPal by debiting your Balance. If there are insufficient funds in your Balance to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse PayPal through other means. If a sender of a payment files a Chargeback, the credit card issuer, not PayPal, will determine who wins the Chargeback.
They are really an awful company, if it weren’t for convenience and integration with eBay I believe they would be out of business. They are literally the only payment processor that will just let chargebacks roll without a fight. The major problem is you have no say in the matter… I had this happen to me before. The amount of money is justification for calling the local police in the buyers area.
You have the buyers information, call the cops.
Police, a lawyer, my bank, and credit card company are all being called. Paypal has only debited my paypal account but not my bank account.
I will not be paying this, no way in hell. I don’t care if my lawyer can’t do anything and they ding my credit score. I’m simply not paying it.
If they can come to me to get the money back can I go to FedEx and get the money back because it was stolen? Same concept right?
REALLY sorry to read this shit man, I hope everything works out for you.
I didn’t know you were building a shop. Where is it going to be?
Email sent.
Same property, just putting up a new building to pull all the cnc equipment and frame jigs under one roof.
This shit blows. Call the police for sure, fax documentation to them.
FWIW, I don’t think paypal can legally deduct from your bank account w/o your consent, you’ll just have a $2400 debit with them. I use them for small petty shit off evilbay, but that’s it. Over a few hundred and I find safer ways to pay.
FYI paypal doesn’t go on your credit report. i had a chargeback on a 4000 dollar motor a guy picked up in person, and he filed a chargeback 3 months later. it wasnt my paypal account so i had to gave the person the cash. the local PD in ny said they couldnt do anything, i asked them who could they basically had no idea because they were in another state. I drove out to Rhode island and went to his local PD eventually i got my money back.
Mike I have you delsol arms now. i’ll tear shit apart later this week and we’ll talk more then.
Sweet!! Did you get my email?
Thanks Adam, and thanks Kris for getting them to him.
I’m wondering about the fuel cell, would it be better to just buy something like this, or try the modifications to the plastic cell
http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/product/566/Enduro_Cell_Racing_Bladders
Buy above. I have one of their bladders made to fit into an aluminum shell I made. Far easier. Will just need a self priming inline fuel pump(many out there)
great. I think if I buy that the only other things I need to look for are the sending unit and fuel pump.
As for the trailing arms, I’ve already explained the type of fabrication required for the arm itself, but now I talked with someone who modified their arm for the following:
PCI trailing arm spherical bearings with solid captured bearings (no plunge) and I’ve eliminated the toe control links.
I was wondering what exactly the advantages and disadvantages would be for this. As far as packaging concerns, eliminating the toe arm would actually help a bit.
Also I’ve been looking into what I need to do for the bearing and hub on the Wagovan arms. I was under the impression that I could just swap out the bearing and hub but I guess not. Another guy has documented the process of putting A CRV bearing, crv hub, and the crv bearing retainer onto the wagovan arm (i’ll obviously use some more precise tooling):
the three components. CRV part in the center:
with the axle stub:
god damn man… keep trudging, shit will get better
By doing that they eliminate lateral movement of the pivot, which the toe control link would took the brunt of in a normal setup. Essentially it’d be like stuffing a pair of radial bearings in there and it would stiffen it up laterally like a wheel bearing.
interesting approach on the wheel bearings as well. Machine work is epic.
BTW…wtf do you want me to do with all this brake parts shit from these two set of rear arms? Save to sell, toss it? ??? DS arms had disk stuff, others are drums and shoes…
Just save the disc stuff, toss the drums. :thumbup
I censored out the worst of the wheel bearing fab pics. :lol
100% positive on that? :lol Thems are a doozy up there!
Will do.
