Nope, I'm seeing their banner just below this posting that I'm doing and just clicked on it...Soon hopefully though.

 

Thanks. I may have a look at those. I've bought from baba before but not netclow. It's hard to keep track of good and bad ebayers. Been burnt a couple times this year and don't want to strain the friendship with PayPal. And no, we're not eligible for eBay bucks and most of the flash sales don't apply to us either. eBay throws the occasional sale our way but it's rare.

 

I made the mistake of preordering MP-11ND through PC using my debit card. No idea why, as I always use Paypal first, and almost always go credit card when Paypal is not available...lesson learned. Looks like I may have thrown my money away and MP-11ND is going for idiotic numbers on eBay, considering the low quality of the TT coneheads. Going to see if there is any recourse through my credit union, but I have a feeling I'm SOL. The best part? Premium Collectables has a a tiny banner along with a huge banner link below this quick reply window at the moment. haha Well done!

 

I used my Debit Card too and my bank allowed me to contest the payment.

The road to reclaim payment maybe more convoluted that the Paypal route, but you owe it to yourself to get that money back. Heck allowing Scott to go scott free (all pun intended) will just enable him to do even more wrong.

 

That's correct. Debit cards are backed by similar features as they're usually a MasterCard or Visa. Give it a go!

 

Yep, my bank is allowing me to dispute my Visa Debit transaction for MP11SW. They asked if I was willing to let the latest ETA at the time pass (1st week of July) and I agreed so Scott has until the 7th to give me a shipping notice or the bank will begin the process of returning my money to me.

 

Anyone know if the bank's are likely to institute any proceedings against PC to try and recover their money? As I understand it, your credit card provider hits up PC's bank for the dispute and this money then go's to your account? Is that how it works?
I would assume that PC's bank is going to be unhappy at the number of fraudulent transactions they are being forced to pay out on for PC and are likely to at the very least close his accounts, if not attempt to recover the money from him?

Either way, I can't imagine the number of chargebacks being processed is going to be great for his credit rating. SOmehow I suspect that's the only way this guy is going to be stopped, when his bank starts to take interest in what he's costing them/

 

Are you doing this now or waiting until the June ETA for Dirge passes? I've been waiting for July to dispute my Dirge preorder, but I'm getting antsy.

 

Yep, started the process worth USAA last night. They didn't make any promises, but they started the charge back ticket. We'll see what they're able to do.

 

Please let us know how this goes for you. I also have USAA -- they're a great bank, so I hope they're able to help us out. I don't think I can initiate a charge back yet because I preordered an FT Omega, and the delivery date for that won't lapse till September...

 

Will do! It may be too far down the road, but I think it's worth a try. Account support was cautiously optimistic they would be able to help. I'm still hoping PC will get their act together, as I didn't order a copy anywhere else and was really hoping to be done with TT seekers once and for all.

 

Just saw this on PC's website Dirge supposedly 7/7 is when the first unit batches arrive, I wonder how true and accurate this is though from them...MP Megs is further down too for those who are still waiting and their response is very vague, because I know there are people who have tried to contact PC and haven't heard from them...

 

First units, huh? That could mean anything.

 

First units? I think he meant first and only unit which immediately goes into Scott's private collection.

 

I'm glad I didn't preorder when Dirge came up with these guys. I had Dirge in hand from Agabyss weeks ago..Artfire too. I keep following this thread hoping this guy gets screwed the same way he's treated his customers.

 

That's it. The updates are meaningless without some idea of how many are in the "first batch", and how many "first units'" he gets.
He actually seems to think that fulfilling two or three of the dozens or hundreds of orders he gets is somehow sufficient to meet his obligations.

 

I really hope those HT Han and Chewies are a restock or something. Those came out...last summer or something?

 

Yeah, I'll probably dispute this and pick it up from Agabyss as well. I may wait until the 7th just to see, since it's literally only a week later than I was going to wait anyway, then immediately put in a dispute.

 

Did you guys see the complete lack of mention of 3rd party items. Apparently people only buy official stuff nowadays.

Guys, I've mentioned this before and I am sure you already know this. But getting Dirge at 200 is better than getting nothing for 120 or 100. At the end it's your money, but seriously it's like trying to pick up pennies in front of the bulldozer.

Edit: my bad, I do see FT Phoenix. But really, that's it?

 

Got my MMC Dicamus and FT Grinder orders refunded through ZipPay. Ordered on Monday from Collectors Drift and picked them up from the Post Office on my way to work this morning. What a joke PC have become.. a sad, cruel, sick joke.
