QuickBitcoins, new bitcoin vendor

[Littleshop]

The charge that will appear on your credit card statement will be “PAYPAL * QUICKBIT”. If you place a chargeback or dispute a charge for any order that you placed and received (accidentally or intentionally), there will be a $150.00 research fee charged to your account upon our receiving the chargeback to cover our investigative expenses to prove that you did make the purchase.

This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. Will you be enforcing this policy to the full extent of your TOS?

~Bruno~

It is a pointless policy.  If a PayPal account is stolen the TOS will not apply.  Since scammers usually do not use their own accounts why bother threatening your customers? 

In the unlikely event that it is a real account holder attempting a chargeback they are going to say the account is stolen anyhow.  You will never be collecting that $150 fee from anyone.

Quickbitcoins is currently down. Any orders currently in process are not affected. We appreciate your patience."

Is this just a temporary situation?

Yes, this is a temporary situation.

We are currently in the process of hashing out a new site design, working with legal to implement a more standardized AML policy, and rolling out several new features. One of which will most likely be accepting cash deposits through ZipZap, the same company BitInstant uses to accept cash at 700,000 locations worldwide. We also have a new custom-developed back end administration in beta testing which will allow us to drastically reduce the turn around time in filling all orders, streamline customer support and response times, as well as allow us to maintain more detailed logs for AML and BSA reasons.

Here is a sneak preview of the new site. Please note that this is an early alpha preview. It's not properly styled yet, the layout isnt anywhere near finalized, etc.
