Popbuying Deal Thread : Discounts as of June 14th, 2010

[Toquinha1977]

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

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 keep moving now :rolleyes:

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...

Given that a lot of the same products are sold at Cube4You and DealExtreme, either it's not the case or we should probably be worried as this leaves us fewer avenues to get our puzzle fix.

Hopefully yesterday arrived the last item I've ordered, a YJ Pinwheel, really nice.

The future is uncertain to me

What about the CC(Credit Card) payment.
If we offer this kind of payment, what do you think ?
Thanks.

Thanks.

I would actually prefer paying with a credit card, since I don't really like using Paypal.
I guess not everyone has a credit card, so that might be a problem for some... but I'd say: Go for it!

Not everyone has Paypal, either.

But Paypal is a lot easier.

Does Credit Card also mean debit card?

 

[dillonbladez]

would it be okay to have both forms of payment? maybe credit card now, so people can order, then when you have time, you can deal with the paypal issue.

If it solves the problem quicker then yes, if it doesnt well id still like to pay by credit card anyway.

Jack, there are a lot of banks here in the U.S. that use debit cards to access their checking accounts. I have one. They can be used just like a credit card, but the funds come out of my checking account.

This is a good idea.

 

[GermanCube]

I dont have a credit card, so I'd prefer PayPal !

 

[Zarlor]

Jack, credit card is fine with me. Whatever can help you open Popbuying back up sooner. Maybe you can add other methods of payments later if possible. Good luck and sorry for your PayPal troubles. Have you seen http://www.paypalsucks.com/

Be cautious of the link above, my anti-virus blocked it as a threat.

That link is about as threatening as a kitty cat covered in bubble wrap... :fp


Several PayPal gripe sites have been created complaining of problems such as the freezing of accounts of eCommerce stores if they experience rapid growth, preventing them from being able to pay suppliers and fulfill orders. One such site, Paypalsucks.com, ranked third on a Forbes Magazine listing of "Top Corporate Hate Web Sites" in 2005 based on "hostility" and "entertainment value" of web forum postings and other criteria.

Fair enough, I calmed down the size of my warning, but I've never had AVG block a site for me before. You're most likely right, but I'm still going to be cautious.
