Captain Sim Paypal Problem...

[C]

This looks interesting... Just a heads up for anyone who bought the C-130 through PayPal...

A well deserved dent in their reputation. Never used PayPal, and I don't think I will now!

I always payed directly with credit card [no pay pal at all].

I read that yesterday on the CS site ...... It seems that financal organisations are the same for everyone.

Aye, same here thankfully...

Never been a fan of paypal, and thankfully I have only had to use them once or twice.

I'll back up Jareds response of "?".  Seems they have removed the page.

So, what happened?

[smashie]

Patpal froze the money, my guess is a lot of people bought it and paypal thought it was a scam. It appears that captainsim are a verified paypal user.

The latest in this saga is that CS have asked PP to refund all the people that bought using PP and then asked said people if wouldn't mind buy it again once the refund has happened.

As a side note I've used PP alot to sell heaps of stuff on ebay and to date not had a problem with them. After this sorry state of affairs I will have a look at my options again

ya, CaptainSim has asked me to rebuy it, but I still haven't seen my refund yet...

...I ain't rebuying nothing until I can get my money back first...

Don't do anything untill you have the money back in your hand ...... the dispute is between Captain Sim and Paypal, you have paid in good faith.
It's as likely that any refunds will take just as long as it will take Captain Sim to get the payments from Paypal.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Please repurchase AFTER PayPal provides you with a refund.
See http://www.captainsim.com/purchase/paypal.html for details.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Good old Credit cards work fine for me
