[Elecraft] PayPal holding payment. (Follow up)

[David Deelstra]

After a rabbit hole trip through PayPal's endless loop "customer 
service" pages, I stumbled on a page that asked what help I needed. I 
kept entering "Notice of Delivery". When it ran out of questions and 
options, finally I was presented with a page with a 6 digit number on a 
black background, below which was a phone number. I called, got 
instructions on what to do, spent the next ten minutes listening to the 
pages (verbatim) I had spent the last three hours digging through. 
Finally I was asked for the six digit pass code then sat through another 
eternity on hold finally answered by a human sounding voice. I explained 
that I had been trying to find a way to send them Proof of Delivery. She 
said PayPal already had POD and that my buyer only had to log in to his 
account, go to Activity, scroll down to the item and click to release 
payment. None of this was transmitted to me or the buyer by PayPal or 
shown on their "Help" pages.
I contacted the buyer, he followed up, and within minutes the subject 
"Your money is available" appeared in my in box.
 I hope this helps others avoid similar problems. I intend to call my 
credit union's customer service and see what I can do to (legally and 
safely, for both parties) transfer funds for goods and services. Maybe 
VISA would be willing to offer such a service, or the shipping 
companies? How 'bout it UPS?

[Elecraft] PayPal holding payment.

[David Deelstra]

Warning: Before you use PayPal to sell a rig, consider using something else.

I just sold a rig through PayPal, with UPS tracking number, but after 
payment was received into my account, PayPal placed a 21 DAY HOLD on the 
funds.


"We've placed the money on hold because this transaction is inconsistent 
with your previous selling activity. The money has been added to your on 
hold balance. It'll be available once we can confirm that your customer 
has received the goods or services."


"Here's what you can do to get your money sooner

Provide shipment information (Already done)

Add a valid tracking number and your money will be available 1 day after 
PayPal confirms that the shipment has been delivered. (Again, already done)


Print a shipping label"
 (I did not use their ShipStation service because the rig was packed 
and labeled before the payment was received by PayPal.


The rig was delivered, no problems, notice of delivery was received, I 
have been an EBay seller since 1994, and a Paypal seller nearly as long.


Do they do this with "Friends and Family" if the receiver has never 
received a large payment?


I have spent over three hours attempting to reach a live person.

Their customer service is the typical endless loop automated system.

Caveat emptor, I guess.

He was thinking "Out of the box".

Re: [Elecraft] Cable for K3 to Ameritron ALS-1300/ARI-500

No, one would still need the RJ45 cable to connect to the ARI-500.

However *if one had the necessary documentation*, it should take
less than 10 minutes with a soldering iron to replace the RJ45
connector on one end of a CAT5 patch cable with a DB15HD.  Not
something that should be beyond the skills of any Elecraft owner.

Here is the necessary documentation:

http://ww.ameritron.com/Downloads/index.php?productid=ARI-500=ARI-500.pdf=ameritron

You can use an SVGA cable, cut off one end and crimp an RJ-45 plug.
