I'm mining with 1 MSi r7850 and 1 MSi r7950 on a asus motherboard. The 7950 stopped working and the fans in my cool master haf x stopped working. Im running windows 7 the blue screen came up when the card and fans stopped working. The fan on the 7950 still works though. Hopefully the 7950 isn't toast.

Sellers cannot leave negative feedback even on the most scummy thieving users - they disabled that because bad feedback on criminals makes for a "negative user experience". eBay universally screws the seller, since the seller will always be easier to get money from (even by sending to debt collection if you withdrew the money) than the criminal using a hacked account, and then they take away the feedback ability that would make eBay look like a scammer's paradise for doing this.

eBay used to be just about collecting exorbitant fees on money and merchandise they never touched (and just let people leave honest feedback), Then they got into the PayPal business (so they could move money around in their system with 3% friction until it is all theirs), but then they realized that they couldn't let themselves eat the cost of fraud.

I cant wait for the day that all their scams catch up to them it is soon to come with all these crypto-currencies in the workings. I still feel bitcoins is in its baby stage. One day everyone in the world will be using some form of crypto-currency.

Selling BTC on Ebay, totally against Ebay rules AND paypal policies is pretty dumb.

+1 they could join up with crypto-currencies and make much more money instead they are trying to drive them away. Wonder who will win this fight? Maybe this time ebay/paypal got me but I'm sure as hell I won't be doing that again maybe even little to no business with either one of them anymore. In my eyes they completely scammed me.

I'm no longer considered a newbie. I now have a higher prestige not just within this forum, but the Bitcoin community as a whole. Maybe even all the interwebs!

I promise I'll come back and visit you guys often. Take it easy.

I check out what the noobs have to say all the time I still feel like a noob here myself lol

 People who were here for earlier prices of buying 1000 bitcoins for 10 bucks got lucky , thats well and fine.

 How about us? I have 35 mhash/s and lets say I dont want to buy. From the obvious choice of minning (which makes me about nothing , barely over the transaction fee) I can go for 'free bitcoin' websites or faucets and I can offer services . Thats about all I can think of. If I am missing anything please fill in.

invest in XPRs mining is only getting harder and harder

All the bad news sounds like their current wafer run is not able to run the planed mining products. I think we should be prepared that BFL will need a redesign and new masks. That will be another 8-12 weeks until we see the fixed silicon - best case if they are fast. With testing I expect another 4-6 months if everything works perfect.

Refund requested a few weeks ago - no response from BFL yet.


any update about this?

Are u dumb?

What BTC needs is pioneers that are willing to take risks and establish more markets for BTC, not negativity

I have had two BTC transactions with Paypal reversed by the buyers CC.  I  then submitted my evidence and Paypal  has sided with me and is disputing the reversal with the CC companies, time will tell if I receive my money.

But the more that this happens the more that Paypal and other online merchants are going to realize that BTC is here to stay and they need to make adjustments.

how am i dumb?

I just sent her one more email before I'm ready to message (not harass anyone) all her friends/family I just want to explain my story to them I hope it really comes back and bites her in the ass

Heres the last email I'm sending:
Hello,
Paypal has refunded you the $1200 for the bitcoins that I sent you will you please refund me. It really sucks being scammed. Please be a good person and send back my money or bitcoins. Good karma will come and vice-revisa. Please don't let this scam happen. It is really bad feeling to be scammed and I wish it upon no one.
Thank you,
-Michael

Cut your losses and run. There's nothing you can do.

send a msg to all her friends and family with paypal transaction screenshots
That's more likely to get you thrown in jail than anything. Besides, you can't prove that she was the one who made the transaction.

I highly doubt something of that extent could get anyone thrown in jail as the screenshots make it effectively factual and not slander. However, it seems like it is not the woman's fault as much as it is Paypal's.

Be wary accepting any deals with Bitcoin + Paypal. Bitcoin is designed to be non-retractable and Paypal is designed to allow people to dispute payments up to 45 days after transaction.

OP: You might just have to accept this unfortunate event as a loss.

This has happened so many times, I'm really shocked it's still happening. You shouldn't be using Paypal for Bitcoins - ever.

Paypal is not to be used for digital goods -- their de jure rules, our de facto rules. She may not have even claimed fraud, but Paypal may have reversed the transaction because you broke their rules (probably eBay's, too) and don't consider the transaction valid.

What was in the email Paypal sent you?

We've concluded our investigation into the transaction detailed below.
*snip*
What did they send before that? Generally, they'll have someone personally oversee cases and give you updates.

feedback was positive on ebay....paypal and ebay are huge scammers

We've returned the funds to the PayPal account holder, and your account
will be debited for the amount of this transaction.

-----------------------------------
Helping ensure safe transactions
-----------------------------------

Most of the payments you receive will be from, honest buyers. PayPal wants
to help ensure that your transactions are as safe as possible.

You can often reduce your risk by paying close attention to payment details
and unusual requests.

* Watch for address inconsistencies:
It's fairly common for a buyer's shipping address to be different from the
billing address. In some cases, though, it could indicate fraud. For
instance, a high-priced item that has a billing address in one country and
a shipping address in another may be suspicious.

* Beware of unusual requests that could indicate suspicious activity, such
as:
- Buyers who want rush shipment at any cost
- Buyers who send partial payments from different PayPal accounts
- Do not make payment in full

Go to the PayPal Security Center for more information.

So a little over a month ago I was selling bitcoins on ebay and having a positive experience. Well that ended quickly as for reasons most of you already know about dealing with paypal and ebay. Well I have sold about 20-30 bitcoins on ebay  only till i started dealing with 5 bitcoins or more is when paypal stopped me. Pretty much saying to themselves wow this guy is making good money lets freeze it. So finally my time came and someone bought 4 bitcoins for $300 each (when bitcoins were over 200) and this women paid me and I paid her. We both left positive feedback and paypal froze the funds claiming fraud. The women had over 100 feedback and was a regular ebayer the last time she purchased something was less then a week before. I emailed her asking what was going on and if she could email paypal for me. She posted her blockchain address in paypal and I sent them screenshots of my blockchain transaction log and her leaving me positive feedback. Today paypal sent me an email saying they sent her the funds back. Well.....now what to do? I found her on facebook by matching the name and address. I'm thinking about sending all her friends and family about the scam she pulled on me with screenshoots. Does anyone have any better ideas for me?
