Im going to take your suggestion ap... It all depended on the version of webos too. I loved it.. I will get a touchpad for sure, ill just keep looking, dont want to pay more than 200 bucks for one.. the one  I found was 250, I cam this close to buying it...

I loved web os., I hope this isn't the death of it...

Its a shame. I have used web os from palm since it was invented a few years ago. Then palm sold out to hp. Web os really is the best mobile operating system out there. I recently broke my pre webos and replaced it with an android. webos is so much better, easier, etc. it just doesn't have the  marketing and backing like android and apple have.

I am seeing them on ebay for under 300 bucks. I am going to get one.  I pretty much knew it wouldn't be adopted because of the ios and android/blackberry popularity. If you use one for a week, you will know what im talking about. just flip the app from the screen and its gone. you can have like 20 apps open at once too. shame. I hope they continue with the phones. What a great operating system and its getting bagged...

LOl, that happened with me too. I had to cancel an order and a few hours someone pm'd asking about the product. I had forgotten that when a order is canceled, it shows back up in the market.... Obviously, that's what's happened here...

nope no moneypak. You can go into a chase or wellsfargo bank and deposit money into their account. It still makes me nervous that they are so new and that their volume is so low. Like I said in another thread about them, for me to want to use them, they would have to be in business longer.

There have been too many bitcoin scams/issues for me to get excited about this one. I hope it's not one of those lets see how many millions can get deposited and then "oops, sorry, we've been hacked" excuses comes along. I dont see them holding too much money right now, but when they get big and there are millions upon millions of dollars deposited with them. They might just   run. I know my thinking is probably uber paranoid, but I would have never thought what happened at mybitoin would happen either....

Even though mt. gox and Trade hill have had their issues, mt. gox has proved themselves by coming back bigger and stronger and i believe that if werent for those 2, especially mt. gox, the bitcoin would be nowhere. Mt Gox is owned and operated by a large corporation, The new excangebitcoin is some sort of start up. How well is their backing? there are a lot things you have to consider before trusting someone with even a few hundred of your hard earned dollars. Most likely, they will be ok and thrive, but ill try them after the have been open for a month.

I did a small test last month. I offered  both options. Within escrow and a release escrow before shipping price.  I gave the customers a choice. I agree, escrow is important and has saved a lot of people heart ache. But on the flip side, there are reverse scamers, especially with opiates. that's why I usually have a limit on quantity within escrow.

In the future, I will always recommend that the buyers go within the escrow system. But, I will always offer them the choice. So its a win/win situation. I would never just have one option (out of escrow) But I have a lot of frequent customers that know me and trust me, so in return for their trust, I will give them a little better deal. Also, I wont I just sell us to us only. If I were to go world wide I would make it a requirement that the out of us sales go outside of escrow, I dont want to be held liable for a  shipment that is seized.

I dont think calling for a boycott is necessary. If a buyer wants to risk it, then its their choice.

I haven't made my mind up if i will continue to even make it an option. If I do, It will be because the buyer asked me to, not that I am making them. I mainly do it to protect me against scammers on bigger orders. I have heard vendors claim that after sending a few hundred dollars worth of expensive pharmaceuticals the buyer claimed it was never received and the vendor had to accept only 50 percent of the value. I cant afford to take that kind of loss.

So, I say let the buyer beware and let them choose. Lets not force anything upon anyone. If we do, we are no better than a government...

Thats why you have 10 different sr buyer accounts and do random transfers to/from different ones each time. As long as you can have as many different buyers accounts,  might as well take advantage. One day, I hope that they make it so one can't make unlimited  number of buyer accounts. Its a huge advantage for a buyer to commit reverse fraud multiple times..

Honestly, there is 44k members here.. I bet there is actually less than 7k users that use on a regular basis, maybe less...I know that in the beginning, I had to make 3 or 4 accounts because I forgot either the username that I used or password. now, those 3 or 4 accounts are totally inactive. Also, I know when LE or another member is trying to remain anonymous, I bet I have at least 20 different pms from individuals that have never read the pm that I sent, so that tells me that those accounts are just one timers...

Send them ahead to the hotel you are staying at. That would be the safest. Or get a bottle of metamucil/bottle of hebral shit and replace herabal stuff with you good stuff. Sending them ahead is the best bet....
