I bugged the daylights out of them, kept sending fazes of information they asked for and even included stuff they didnt ask for, one fax was 15 pages long. Honestly with the way my luck has been going I figured it was a loss and about to give up but everyone kept pushing me to keep going so..
Hey I know the picture was not a everybody popular thing but I wanted them to know I have friends and some of them are in good places. NEVER EVER burn a favor for something like paypal but you can use the assests you have rather burning favors. The one thing they kept taking seriously after a while was our situation with the flooded inentifying information and they said there wasa note in our file that we were Katrina victims, usually people run when you say that but they finally were able to get it through their thick skulls that they had everything they were going to get from me and they realized I would not stop calling them. I also obtained a list of all their internal phone numbers they have and names to go with them - I started leaving voice mails with them ALL and when someone would answer the phone and tell me thrir first name I would look down the list and tell them their last name. they tell me it is against POLICY to give out their last names to anyone, its a privacy thing!! (MUCH VULGAR LANGUAGE BEING SAID RIGHT NOW) They now know everything there is to know about me not that its bad but they have a "file" on everyone and their mission is to continue to BUILD the database without a doubt.
At a point I became very suicidal and I told them this and also told them I would leave the note mentioning their part in my brain matter being on a wall. I think what finally gave was this girl who gave me her direct fax and she would pump the information right into the people who made the decisions so I kept faxing her and talking to her.
Make NO MISTAKES - PAYPAL IS EVIL and they would be the first to cooperate with the feds in a information gathering / information collection scheme, I would not be one bit surprised if they already are in bed with the feds because the feds do not enforce anything or do anything when you complain.
I managed to move the funds into my bank account, went to the bank and they told me that we need to open a new account - at our expense of course. I personally cant take it anymore and I am not opening another account, I dont have the funding and what more is I realized I still dont have enough money to make the mext miniminum mandatory order of lights from my manufacturer so we are screwed still.
I am going to be selling offa lot of my goodies, high end electronics, test equipment, AV equipment, surveillance equipment and so on. It may be enough to put us back into a position to remain in business.
I reopened my original ebay account and renamed it hktacticalequipment because it has 128 positives and not a one neg on it. Working with the new one and 8 feedbacks is had to get people to trust buying from me. I am thankful ebay let me reactivate my old account, I let it collect dust for YEARS and frankly just about forgot about it till a friend mentioned why not use your original account! I had some fees still pending on it lol. Paid them immediately of course but dont know what they were for because ebay always took the fees directly from my bank accounts anyway.
That is the story.
My crappy luck and miserable life gets more and more complicated day by day. I don't drink but I started, every night I have a glass of Grand Marnier before I get ready for bed - I will say this much, its a mighty load mixed with my lead poisoning medications and knocks me flat out. My insomnia problem is gone I think :rock:
