It's because there's a conflict between selling cubes that are 4x4+ and also having a PayPal option. You can blame that on V-Cubes. That's why stores like TheCubicle and Champions Cube Store have big cubes but no PayPal. It's a shame it has to be like this :|

Oh, I was wondering why that was. That sucks.

Huh? Why 5x5 though? They never invented or patented that.

V-Cubes made the V-Cube 5 and patented the design and claim that other 5x5s are knockoffs. There was a huge controversy over this and I believe CrazyBadcuber has a video explaining it all.

Hm, that's unusual. Technically you can sell large cubes through PayPal, except if V-Cubes finds out they claim that you're selling a copyrighted puzzle without permission. They file a report to PayPal and PayPal says you have to remove that item or they don't allow you to use PayPal. So maybe V-Cubes hasn't complained about Fasttech to PayPal or something. That's weird, it's the first cube store I've seen doing that.

Hmmm weird I'm gonna go look that CBC video up, thanks.
 
Sad to see that lightake takes all the beating from v-cube. Even ebay has paypal and has the moyu 5x5 in stock. Ebay isn't the most unknown webstore. Didnt you post the big shengshou cubes like the 7x7 with just the SS 7x7 instead of listing the full name? Or is that policy now also useless?

Ebay hosts people's shops rather than being a shop themselves afaik.

"Do you know what the time is?" - Cuber
"Yeah, it's CONTEST TIME!!!" - Lightake

Hey everyone welcome to another one of Lightake's giveaways!
Today we're going to be picking 10 lucky winners who will get a FREE Cube!!

To win, all you have to do is leave a post with your name and email and one thing that you like about Lightake. Giveaway ends in 1 week (Nov 26th 2014). Winners are picked randomly using random.org.

Now you may be wondering: "What is the prize?"
Well, to answer that question, you have to do a little scavenger hunt! :D

This is how it works:

There are 6 urls below that take you to 6 different cubes at Lightake. In brackets beside those urls are which character is the letter in the url that takes you to the prize you will win. For example, in this url: http://goo.gl/bZUDyF (9), you click on the link that takes you to a cube at Lightake, then you count 9 characters (space counts as character) in the title of that cube, and the 9th character is the spot that fills in the hidden url. So the url would look like this now: goo.gl/C_ _ _ _ _ because the 9th character in the title of the cube that I gave you the link of is C. Go down the list of the 6 urls and complete this scavenger hunt to find the hidden link! Once you get it, put it in the address bar at the top of your browser and now you can see what the prize is!

Here are the 6 links that you will use to find the hidden url:

1. http://goo.gl/fc6GQ3 (9)
2. http://goo.gl/MCU5u1 (23)
3. http://goo.gl/0KGslw (10)
4. http://goo.gl/ylm8G6 (5)
5. http://goo.gl/oXdHHk (3)
6. http://goo.gl/ZzmiJs (12)

If you giveaway the link or the prize it ruins the fun of doing the scavenger hunt. So please don't spoil it for others! You will be disqualified. Other than that, feel free to brag all you want that you figured out the hidden link (just dont giveaway any hints)!

If you need help, PM me and I'll try my best to help you out! Good luck everyone!!

PS. Letters of the hidden url are case sensitive and a space in the title of the cube counts as a character as well.

NOTE: You do not actually have to find the hidden link to enter the contest, that is just for you to find out what the prize is because I won't tell you ;)
