Not good, have to say though that it doesn't surprise me it's Paypal- they are hopeless when it comes to defending any seller.  :fighting:

I think this is a similar problem people on egay are facing. People will claim non-delivery and unless it has tracking info etc they will find things in favour of the buyer. A lot of people don't like Paypal. I prefer it because it means I don't have to look for my wallet when I go on midnight spending sprees.  :laugh:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

sorry to hear about this, very timely as on the weekend I had my amazon account hacked and some nice person try to spend £800, fortunately amazon security spotted it and stopped the transactions and i'm not out of pocket (just have an account i cannot use), in reality amazon customer service was excellant

for me part of the experience of JKM is speaking to these guys as they know their stuff  :happy2:

....Same for me. In fact I'd say that the whole of the experience of speaking to JKM is what I value.

For me, I must have a rapport with the people in every business I deal with. I'm not interested in impersonal relationships.

Will not affect how I use JKM at all - quality of work, support and service has always been top notch. Besides - as Robin has said there is still the phone, and it is good to talk  :happy2:

It is a sad day really. I have been buying from JKM for almost a year now. all the way from New Zealand. They have always been great with their service and support.
Not that I needed support thou. lol

Kate has been super helpful allowing me one final order from them. THANKS SO MUCH JKM (doubt you can hear me shouting from over here) :P

I guess I will have to start searching for a new supplier now.

Very sad and also very worrying  :sick:

That kind of thing could set us back months of hard work. I'd fight them all the way in court though if I knew the parts had landed and had proof. I am currently working to guard ourselves against this kind of thing.

I was recently forced to refund some xenons I sold due to 'damage'
I took photos at buyers request, as expected before sending and there was no damage whatsoever.
Was a loosing battle with PayPal.  :fighting: :fighting:

The word of mouth praise of JKM travels far across these comunities so I expect and hope they will be in the game for a long time to come  :smiley:

Paypal is like gambling, you don't use it for any more than you're prepared to lose.

I hope it comes good to JKM, every dog has his day.  :happy2:
Sideways yo!
