Comment on PayPal resolution center is useless by Mark

Mark — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:12:12 +0000

I agree the Paypal resolution site is worse than useless. They always favour the Seller because without them they have no income. The Seller in my case fraudulently changed the description of the item after I raised a dispute. I was astonished eBay even permitted him to do that, so when I found the item I received was not what I ordered the Seller then told Paypalthat I had oredered incorrectly. Many Sellers are wise to the Credit card refund and refuse to accept them and only allow Paypal so my advice is don’t use eBay or Paypal they are essentially the same despite their protests they do not give you any protection its the American “Buyer Beware” system.

@Jeff –

Yeah, don’t press hard enough to break it

I actually found the BEST way to NEVER have to clean the ball again… get a Magic Mouse instead

BEWARE…. THIS JUST CRACKED MY BALL……LOL

Okay, I’ll say it worked, but I also managed to break something. Poor little mouse ball apparently didn’t care for the excess rubbing… and tried to retract itself back into the mouse. So be forewarned, Know your own strength, and be GENTLE WITH YOUR MOUSE BALLS. Lest you loose the click ability (I used this for dashboard)….. now I am forced to move my hand over a whole 8-12 inches now to hit the button on my keyboard. Poor Poor wireless mighty mouse, you will never have children thanks to the actions of your owner…:)

Wow thank you so much! It definitely is an easier alternative to dissecting the mouse.

Comment on Charter internet headaches by Tim

I hear you on the Charter issue. I just switched from AT&T UVerse service and never had an issue with my site. Plus the 1mb upload was very nice for serving it very quickly. But alas, I’m now stuck with Charter until AT&T decided to extend their services. Or I can go back the the “top of the line” package with a max upload of 786kbps.

Maybe one day charter will wake up and open these ports for all services offered.
