Yes and I want to say as a business owner that chargebacks are IMPOSSIBLE to win. I have had a dozen customers -- large ticket orders ($1000 or more) claim they never rec'd and despite having all the evidence I have not won the fight. Now I'm out $1000 in payments to my photographer who is pissed because his royalties have been cut down, $200 in print costs and $300 in profits that went into R&D. I've been hit by the sleaziest of the sleaze, I know, but just something to consider. For every bad reseller apple there are 5-10 bad customers. -- Ryan On Oct 9, 2009, at 11:22 PM, Brian Wall wrote: > On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 3:45 PM, Mike Miller <mbmiller+l at gmail.com> > wrote: >> On Thu, 8 Oct 2009, Thomas Lunde wrote: > >> I used to sometimes order things from whoever had the best price. >> What I >> found was that many of these obscure places would promise to ship >> by a >> certain date, then they wouldn't come through, then they'd say that >> they >> don't have any in stock, then they'd admit that they never will >> have the >> item in stock.
