It might weaken the preservative, instead try a water-based lubricant. Happy humping!

[Landadel]

ok. if you believe this, and believe somebody gonna click on a 20 minute yoko ono song, then you are cuckoo.

 

 

It´s 16:54 and you´re very bad at exaggerating.

youre probably the kind of loser to see the number 69 and just round it up to 70 instead of seeing the beauty in each individual number!!!

[Magsåvningsreserven]

for those who had people file chargebacks on them, is it normal for paypal to just take the money out of your bank account without even making a decision on the case first?

[ProfMonnitoff]

yes, paypal will pretty much always assume the buyer is right and screw you over

[only_time]

this gets thrown around a lot but has this ever actually happened to anyone here? i.e. you sold something to somebody and upheld your end of the bargain but they still fucked you with a dispute.

[e0d9n0b5]

yes

[ProfMonnitoff]

it happened to me before and i dont know what the solution is, paypal definitely won't change their approach to this anytime soon, i rarely sell online anymore and if i do then i insist on shipping with tracking/signature on receipt as well as marking full value

 

the fees you have to pay for doing that pretty much mean items under like $200 are hardly even worth selling, but that's just how it is

internet is throwing a fit over paypal's updated user agreement fwiw. mostly the robocall / text part:

Amendments to the PayPal User Agreement

The update to the User Agreement is effective July 1, 2015. A summary of changes is provided below. You can also click HERE to review the complete terms of the revised User Agreement in its entirety.

• Section 1.10

  We are updating terms of the PayPal User Agreement regarding the means through and purposes for which we may contact you.

  The revised section 1.10 reads as follows:

  1.10 Calls to You; Mobile Telephone Numbers. You consent to receive autodialed or prerecorded calls and text messages from PayPal at any telephone number that you have provided us or that we have otherwise obtained. We may place such calls or texts to (i) notify you regarding your account; (ii) troubleshoot problems with your account (iii) resolve a dispute; (iv) collect a debt; (v) poll your opinions through surveys or questionnaires, (vii) contact you with offers and promotions; or (viii) as otherwise necessary to service your account or enforce this User Agreement, our policies, applicable law, or any other agreement we may have with you. The ways in which you provide us a telephone number include, but are not limited to, providing a telephone number at Account opening, adding a telephone number to your Account at a later time, providing it to one of our employees, or by contacting us from that phone number. If a telephone number provided to us is a mobile telephone number, you consent to receive SMS or text messages at that number. We won’t share your phone number with third parties for their purposes without your consent, but may share your phone numbers with our Affiliates or with our service providers, such as billing or collections companies, who we have contracted with to assist us in pursuing our rights or performing our obligations under this User Agreement, our policies, applicable law, or any other agreement we may have with you.

yeah. my old paypal is still -300 after a couple of months actually, but i just use a family member's account. no way i'm paying it back unless i come into life insurance money. guy from brooklyn (of course) said my item was fake even though i showed them an official receipt from the flagship store.

 

they used call me like twice a day (just sporadically in the week now), but my phone is always silent and facedown so it's not that annoying.

 

sometime i transfer a dollar or two to be rude

i actually had the opposite experience - my account was frozen with -250~ in it, and it took a while to resolve but as I provided the tracking number and proof of shipment, they sided in my favour, then the wanker decided to open up a credit card chargeback too!

[big]

By proof of shipping do you mean like a receipt from the post office and tracking details? I just sold some big ticket items and I think I took the right precautions (tracking, signature on delivery). Still dont want to get fucked for 1k worth though

[Thatboyo]

it's not proof of shipping in my case. This dick is filing a chargeback saying item not in same condition as pictured even though he's had it for over a month with no word to me that something was wrong

signature on delivery is what counts as proof of shipment (which can only be included in tracked shipments) — you should be totally safe unless it's not as described or shown in the pictures etc

yep that happened to me too maybe it's the same guy

 

asshole bought a white shirt said nothing for a month then claimed it was in a different condition that it had pink stains on the armpits

 

he did not have to provide any proof whatsoever; not proof of stains, or proof that the state it is in is how he received it, or proof that it's different than the photos provided

 

absolutely no proof and he was granted a refund by paypal as long as he returned it

 

luckily in my case my appeal went through and i partially got money back

 

there really needs to be a paypal replacement. people now have 180 days (6 fucking months) to open a claim which is just absurd

let me know when you find one lmao. if pp was replaced i would shed a tear

[Thatboyo]

they just ruled in his favor. Fucking asshole even put it up for sale a few days after he got it claiming it was different measurements. I had a picture of the listing and gave it to paypal saying he was contradicting himself but they didnt give a fuck. Now I'm suppose to refund the full amount. He's in australia and EMS was like $65 so I just lost $65 to give him the jacket for a month. Not to mention if he declares value at the amount he bought it for then I'm going to have to pay out of the ass for customs fees.
