Closed - Lilliput Group Buy with Touch Screen

**mduck** · 03-11-2004, 07:28 PM

I can't believe they're telling you to raise the price. That's bull*****. You basically hand them business and they make comments like that. They are essentially benefitting from your organizational and networking skills. This is making me think twice about giving Lilliput my money. . .

In any case, your efforts are appreciated NightHunter!

Thankyou Again,

Is it not illegal for a Distributor/Manufacturer in the USA to dictate selling price to the consumer?

I know that up here in Canada, it is illegal hence the mention of Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price on the price lists.

Email sent to Paypal appeals dept. Can they release part of funds ( around 2.5k) so you can purchase 10 screens and present them with shipping confirmation etc...

Thanks for the effort...

(btw i emailed too)

I really dont know the worst case scenario, they just keep asking for tracking numbers. I have not heard anything more since i broadcasted the email requesting that everyone email them. So hopefully this will work. I hope to hear back from them before the weekend.

no it is not illegal for them to make you sell them at a specific rate, i dont believe. It is there product and they can pick and choose who they sell it to. I am not sure about this, as i am no legal beagel

, but it sounds right.

This is getting us nowhere.. I emailed PayPal and the replied with some BS about having to submit it on their website. I submitted it on their website, and they replied with some BS saying that I need to contact the seller to resolve this matter.. LOL.

Is there some limit or something of how much you can take out? What are they going to do now...

Ship 10 fake boxes to someone, get the tracking numbers, and call it good!

**** THIS ENRAGES ME!! I WANT MY FRIGGIN LCD NOW!!!!!!!!!!

If I were you, I'd be on the phone with them all day tomorrow resolving this issue. They have to understand that there are some orders which cannot be fulfilled until payment is received. Have them call and verify each order if they don't believe you. Send them a link to this thread!! SOMETHING!!

A lot of people's (45) money is tied up right now, so if something doesn't happen soon, ****'s gonna hit the fan, I can bet. I can be patient, but I doubt all 45 of us can for much longer.

From Paypalsucks.com FAQs

Q. They froze my account and demanded that I fax them documentation. I did, but they said they didn't get it. Now what?

A. Welcome to the world of PayPal customer service. Our advice: get all the documents they ask for. Make 2 copies of each. Create two sets of documents and put each sent into a large envelope and mail them certified mail, Return Receipt Requested, to the two addresses we have for PayPal (above) with a letter explaining the situation. If they give you another address to send to, make a 3rd set, and send it also. But you should send them certified mail, RRR, so you can prove that you did, and when you did it. When you get your green cards back in the mail, if PayPal has not resolved the problem, make copies, and write your letter to the Attornies General of your state, California and Nebraska. Include your letter to PayPal, your copies of the green cards and a letter asking that the AG's start an investigation. Don't bother playing the fax game. It's either a con on their part, or they keep their fax machine in the monkey cage at the San Diego zoo. (Or the CEO's office, not much difference.)
