Hey Mr. Jack, can you give us an update of the situation ?

 

[PopBuyingJack]

Sorry for all the inconvenience.
Currently, we can't use Paypal any more.
If we have any new updates, will
keep you informed.

Thanks.

Hopefully this is a sign that they will be able to receive payments again in the very near future

Dear popbuying staff.
I don't want to sound like a negative Nancy but.. You are LOSING MONEY AND ORDERS FOR NOT FIXING THE PAGE!!!

It really surprises me that the problem has been going on for half a month.
I know I shouldn't really complain concidering I'm a store regular there and I love what you guys have but Jesus Christ, don't you people understand that you are LOSING MONEY for not fixing the issue?!

How lucky jack and the staff can be that you cleared that up! How would they know otherwise? I'm sure they thought it was good for business to shut down paypal but now since you got here they'll probably fix it today.

You must be a businessman huh?

My thoughts exactly.

I also don't understand the posts that keep popping up to inform Popbuying that they are losing business. No company would ever intentionally have no possible way to buy products from them. I can only imagine that Popbuying is working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. I'm sure they are fully aware of the situation they are in. I don't think any reminder is needed.

Thanks.

But that doesn't sound very good. :|
Hopefully this doesn't mean paypal is done with popbuying.

Actually, I think that's exactly what it means. Someone on an earlier page suggested that Paypal cancelled / froze their account due to some copyright or patent issues.
And now they might have to switch to payment via credit card instead of Paypal. That would explain the delay and why the website went offline...

Just my guess though... so don't mind me, I'm just gonna move along now

Hmmm, interesting. Wasn't there a post a short while back about Rubik's being upset by all the "imitation" (don't be fooled by the quotation marks, that's not a quote!) Rubik's cubes out there? Could this be connected?

Speculation probably isn't very helpful right now...

Exactly what I thought. Let's just leave it at that and all be patient

I got an email from Emma at Popbuying today:

Sorry for this inconvenience.We are trying best to solve this problem now,maybe it needs half a month for us.Please wait patiently and pay attention on the notice at popbuying,we will inform the latest informtion at popbuying.

My guess is that they need to rewrite the website to hook up to some other form of payment and it might take a week or two to hook everything up? Remember, Popbuying sells way more things than cubes, so if PayPal froze their account it may have nothing to do with the Magic Cubes part of their store. I can see Nintendo having a huge problem with some of the other things they sold. Maybe they'll open back up minus a few items as well as a new payment method.

If they made a separate cube website store that would be great!

 

[miniGOINGS]

I got confirmation that they are creating a "new account", whether it is a new website, or a new Paypal account (or both!) is anybody's guess.

Darn, it's still not fixed. I thought that since it was down last night, it would be fixed by the time I woke up. Guess not. I'm not complaining. just a little bit sad =(
