fluffcat1,
I told you I would run into you again...
Anyone looking to buy parts for your phone DONT deal with Richard...
([email protected])
We conducted a paypal transaction on May 2... and after 1.5 months and some nasty emails I am out of 25GBP... and still have NOT received my camera and back case as promised in the transaction....
I submitted a complaint on Paypal... He emailed me saying that he was upset with me and that if I closed the case he would ship the items... so I did and he did NOt ship anything...
Very clever on his part... since now I can not go back to Paypal and open the claim again...
Note to anyone buying using paypal... If you have a complaint open... DO NOT close it until you are completely satisfied... with the outcome...
Once you close a case you can not open it...
Any Way... just wanted to warn everyone... looking to buy parts for their phones... Richard([email protected]) is a CROOK.

And dangerous too :?: :twisted: :evil:
I've replied to all your messages so far and the package was sent insured so as per my last email I can send the proof of postage on to you as according to the royalmail it was succesfully handed to USPS. You are the one who takes weeks and in one case over a month to reply to emails....
The only nasty email I received was your filing the paypal complaint within 7 days of payment as I didn't reply to your email within the 2 days you requested. As it put the funds on hold of course I'd want them releasing before postage! And I don't post international items every day, I wait until I have a few to send as it's a special trip to the P.O to send them rather than going in my normal post collection, as well as filling out customs paperwork and insurance.
My ebay feedback of 1700+ should speak for itself. I'm really going to try and rip someone off over £25 with a turnover of £6k p/m.....
http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=fluffcat1&ssPageName=STRK:ME:UFS
THINGS DO GO MISSING. In the UK I loose approx 3% of items sent but always manage to claim back from the royalmail as they are INSURED like all my items are. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 weeks, sometimes longer, but the do pay up. Minus postage costs though :-(
I post approx 50 items per week! I loose about 2! That sort of thing happens, and I'm actually better statistically for postage losses than the UK as a whole.
Now, if you want to do this in public, fine, I'll post the ref here and you can contact USPS on your own, or you can apologize and I'll look into claiming from this end and send you another set.
Lots of people here have bought from me and received their goods fine. Be careful how you slander me in a public forum where posting IP addresses are logged for all users...
Richard
ok... then this is a big misunderstanding....
I still have NOT recevied my items... nor an email from you as to what is happening...
I do not know you other than through our correspondence which has been very one sided...
So what am i to think...
history...on emails...
3/24 inquired into camera and back case...
4/28 apologized for not following up on purchase... as I stated I was called away... shortly after the initial inquiry.
4/28 made payment in error... 25 Us vs 25 GBP... waited for initial payment to be credited back to my account... which you denied payment on... thnak you
5/7 made correct payment via paypal... asked for email confirmation of date shipped with payment.
5/13 had not received a response on my email... so I emailed asking for an update.
5/16 received nasty email in ref to me taking weeks to respond... and expecting you to respond immediatley. asking to cancel complaint
5/17 responding to your email... I cancelled the paypal complaint... and asked politely for an update....
5/31 still had not received an update... so I emaile dasking for an update
6/2 still nothing.. so again i asked politellty for an update...
6/15 posted on this forum
I have not received anything.... Please provide me an update... at
concep86 @ yahoo .com
:lol: :lol: :lol: :shock:
Interesting
You forgot the email complaint you made to paypal just 6 days after sending the correct payment, my response via paypal to that offering a refund, and the several emails I subsequently sent that you replied to - I have emailed many times to [email protected] and have the server logs from exchange 2003 to prove it.
From you own logs you have given it just over 3 weeks to arrive to the US. Surface post ain't that quick you know and you were too cheap to pay for a courier service so what do you expect?
Check your spam filter etc.
Edit - you forgot to mention the reason for my 'long response' ( 9 days!) after payment was you had paid to my *old* email address from when you had first contacted me rather than my current address that I was replying from at the time and the one you so kindly plastered all over this group for the spam bots to find. Thanks. 2 can play at that game. Looks like you're gonna be on your own claiming from USPS.
Richard
We could go back and forth... on this...
I did not forget to include the complaint as i was detailing just the emails that went back and forth between us.
I did mention the complaint in the emails...
However, I did apologize to you for submitting a complaint on the 15th and did not reveive a response...
I am the one putting up the cash for my litlle item... and 25GBP although a small amount is still hard earned.
and i have beenn burned on ebay before.... so sorry if i require a little hand holding...
Where do we go from here... sounds like we just had some bad communication issues to resolve.. we are both honest hard working gents...
lets get past this please... I am willing to make a public apology on this forum... once I receive my items...
as i have stated previously in my emails... i am truly sorry for the misunderstanding....
Thanks...
PS removed emails from previous posts...

I have ordered items from fluffcat1 without problems. He kept in touch with me and gave me pointers on installing a camera on my SX 66.
Would definately buy from again.
I've ordered from Fluffcat as well. Always very good service, fast and extremely helpful. Just look at his EBay feedback! Surely this could have been sorted out in private.
I'll also go with supporting Fluffycat
Fast and good service for a replacement keypad circuit board for my typhoon and even gave me some money back for the damaged part, sent by paypal only days after I sent it back to him

well it definitely appears that this was just a case of bad communication that went the worse possible way...
i simply wanted an update on the product, when it would ship, after 7 emails and more than 30 days, i still did not have an update.
as for settling this in private ...
What do you think the 7 emails were an attempt to do...

In the future you should refrain from calling someone a crook unless all of your bases are covered. Just some advice.
I have not been proven a liar...
fluffcat1 can say what he likes... but I have not received my items nor have I ever received an email telling me that the item was shipped...
what do you think the 7 emails were an attempt to do... do you think I was simply stalking... **** I just wanted to know if he had shipped the items...
So for the moment, all my bases are covered....

I agree.
It may be an idea to edit your first post to have a less litigious subject. Something along the lines of "Delivery from fluffcat delayed, has anyone else had similar problems?".
And why have you put his email back into your posts. That really does seem childish to me.

No, they are not. Lets see what you didn't do....
1: You didn't try using an alternative email address to email me incase either you or I was experienceing server issues. The free providors ( esp. yahoo and hotmail) randomly take to blocking domains if they are recently registered and / or not in their latest DNS list. The domain of the email you so kindly re-plastered over this thread was recently registered. This is one of the reasons I have moved away from a 'free' providor.
2: You didn't try contacting me via my previous email address where we were able to communicate albeit with long gaps for your replies.
3: You didn't try pm'ing me via this site.
4: You didn't try re-contacting me via ebay as first contact had been originally made.
Now, I don't know there is an issue unless I get told - I don't sit at a computer typing in tracking numbers all day checking if stuff has been delivered. All items are sent insured as I previously stated.
You don't want this sorting out it seems - you are just out to stir....with a different attitude on your part I would have been glad to handle the claim and send out a replacement camera module ( I have no free rear covers left :-( as I do when domestic items get lost / mislaid as the wait can be annoying for the claim to be processed.
I have not yet had to claim via the international process but domestic claims take upto 4 weeks ( and they pay the claim as stamps :roll: ) - so I think you need to contact USPS and find out their procedure as I am unwilling to help any further after your comments in this thread and petty re-insertion of my email into it for the spammers to harvest. (As I have admin status over my new domain I'll just set up another mailbox if it gets too much - thanks.)
Your ref is RI763769010GB. Good luck!
Richard
p.s thanks everyone else for the cheer squad! It's usually only the bad experiences people shout about. I appreciate it.
both of you are Guilty of the same thing
Cant we all get along ? Both of you made mistakes and have shown in this forum you are less than civized men. You are but children acting as they do. Both of you should forget the past and try to come to a compromise. As humans we all make mistakes and act on emotions and dont realize that airing your dirty laundry in public without looking at the big picture you show a side of yourselves that you should be embarrassed of. Now that you both should feel ashamed of yourselves(if you dont you should), lets come together and fix the problem. Be the men your parents raised you to be!!!

Well thanks for lumping me in here but I didn't start it posting here in this thread...just defending myself against points incorrectly made that I was a crook which I am not. Someone calls you a crook in a public forum would you turn the other cheek and be the 'bigger man'? I think not. You would defend yourself, as I have done.

Hi fluffcat1
I am also an eBay seller and read this thread with interest. I can sympathize with your situation especially when getting a Paypal chargeback in such a short time. However, there are some flaws in your argument.
You are a UK registered seller. As such you are responsible for the delivery of the item. It isn't good enough to say "you pissed me off, sort it out yourself" or "it is with USPS, ask them" (not exactly what you said, I know). The purchasers contract with you was for delivery of the item to him, not to USPS. In the UK you would wind up in small claims and rightly so. You are coming across as being quite unprofessional and taking advantage of the fact the purchaser is US based. You also quote some interesting statistics. I do not believe your claim that loosing 2 in 50 is better than the UK national average. The actual statistics are 0.07% - see the following news item http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3681547.stm for my references.
As I already stated I am an EBay seller too. However, a loss rate of 2 in 50 would be real trouble for us. We ship on average 120 items a day and that would mean we would lose about 5 a day. We don’t lose that many a month!
As for "with a different attitude on your part I would have been glad to handle the claim and send out a replacement camera module", that shouldn't be your choice, and in the UK it wouldn't be. You are responsible for that item and you have a duty to your customer to resolve it satisfactorily.
"Surface post ain't that quick you know and you were too cheap to pay for a courier service", eh, what about Airmail. You quote international signed for on your auctions but you don't mention that only covers surface mail. The difference between the two is small, for example a 1kg Airmail to the US is £10.00 while surface is £8.30. Did you explain it would take up to 6 weeks for delivery?
“I have not yet had to claim via the international process but domestic claims take upto 4 weeks ( and they pay the claim as stamps )”. I must imagine the cheques them send me when I claim for loss! They have never sent me stamps.
I am curious how you know the item is with USPS as tracking number RI763769010GB is giving no details at all. I was under the impression an International Signed for number would give the date it was collected from you and where it is with regard to processing. See these numbers for an example – RI537451069GB and RI537451072GB.

I wanted to share my story and give a big thanks to Steve over at ElectroniccrapDotcom because he has shown the most outstanding customer service support i've ever received from a company in purchasing any type of consumer product.
Unfortunately I received an HDMI cable (the wiring was a little funky and the video would go in and out if I wiggled the middle of the cable) that was not functioning properly so I had to return it for a new one. It had been about 25-30 days after my purchase that I realized the cable was acting funny because I originally just had it plugged in once and it worked and for 25-30 days I left it alone. Once i figure out it was the cable that was messed up I was honestly surprised that I was given the chance to not only return the cable for a replacement but pay the difference for the Dock. It was at this time that I had realized the dock is a much better choice for how I was going to be using my tablet. Steve at no time hesitated in saying it was no problem to return the cable for a replacement or pay the difference through paypal for the dock.
Usually in a circumstance like this and with any other online company I would be out 30 bucks and have to buy a new cable but to my surprise steve gladly accepted the terms of me shipping the cable back for a replacement or to pay the difference for the dock.
This is just my Thank You letter to Steve and a notice to everyone on XDA who wants to purchase any of this products, You have nothing to worry about because ElectronicCrapdotCom truly has defined what giving great quality customer service is all about.

Hi All,
I'm looking to publish a pay for version of my free application. It's all ready to go and I foolishly thought I'd just need to set the price I wanted to sell the thing for and Google would sort out all the tax concerns etc. What a fool I was and after searching online I'm not the only one to have fallen into this quagmire.
I'm hoping that amoungst the wonderful people in these forums that there is a UK app developer who has been through this (what looks to be a) traumatic step and can give me some brief advice/guidance as to what I should be doing to do this properly.
An idea of questions I have are
1. Do I need to register a business before diving into this?
2. As a UK resident do I need to be gathering and paying the US (or other) buyers tax as well as my own VAT? If so, how?
3. What else don't I know about?
I realise that this advice should come from a trained professional accountant but as I don't know any (or think this current app is going to generate a revenue worthy of paying a professional) I'm hoping the developing community would be willing to share their experience. I'm happy to take this offline if need be, I'd just appreciate any pointers in the right direction.
(I have seen a few topics on this site vaguely around the same theme but not from a UK perspective, if there is a thread I should see then please direct me to that, but I have tried to find one already, honest!)
Thanks in advance,
Leighton.

I'm not sure what quagmire you refer to, google take fees and taxes out for you. Just specify the price of your app and upload it, they even automatically set right tax for you.
It was a year ago I set an account up but if I never registered as a business, don't think you have to.

This is not the impression that I get from their T's and C's. It explicitly says that google pass on the tax to you and it is tour responsibility to ensure this is dealt with correctly. Am I misinterpreting that or does it not apply to the UK? Does everyone else agree with Dave and I'm making something out of nothing?
Cheers,
Leighton.

Just to show you why I'm thinking that we do need to take notice of the tax. Here is a link to one of the latest notifications I had in the Google Play publisher site.
{linked removed due to newbie status/possible spam risk}
It explicity says, "Keep in mind that Google will continue to pass on the entire tax amount collected to the developer, and calculate the 30% transaction fee off the net price of the product. For example, if your tax inclusive price is 10GBP and your VAT is 20% (as set by the developer in the Google Merchant Center), then Google will first calculate your net price (8 GBP) and then apply a 30% transaction fee to that amount (2.4GBP fee). The developer would then receive 7.6GBP (includes tax collected)."
I'm pretty sure this is something I need to atleast understand properly before continuing.
Leighton.
My apologies, because I only have one for sale app and don't have to pay taxes (falls below minimum level of earning at which tax is applied) I knew google add the tax rate automatically but forgot that the developer pays it to tax office.
Here are the uk vat rules.
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/start/register/when-to-register.htm
Basically you don't register to pay vat on your apps unless you earn £77,000 a year or more from them.
So if you are earning more than that you pay them the pounds per app sold that you owe as tax but not otherwise. In my case I don't have to pay vat.

Good afternoon people of XDA,
Today is a the dawn of a new day. A day where we begin the road to unlocking the bootloader to something that many believe is unlockable. Me and a few other users are starting a bounty to bring the incentive to life for all active developers. You can find my previous thread here. Now, when I say progress has been made, I mean that we have gotten into fastboot, we have donation incentives and we already have root so our tools are there we just have to find the exploit. Every day people are finding new exploits furthering our cause into reaching our goal. Now to the developers who want to pursue this, I've very much so tried to get active commands in fastboot but basically its just a dead fastboot for right now. The board on this phone and technologies behind it are so similar to its predecessors that somethings got to give. If you are interested in this cause, i.e. donating or deving on it, please contact me here, or email me at [email protected]
This is in our grasps friends. Spread the word, grab your fellow developers and lets get this thing to be a free wad of cash for whoever can bust it. Lets do this.
Also, I have posted this in other LG V10 forums to try and get help from others.
$20 from me!
I'm also in for $20. $40 if done before the end of 2016.
Excited to follow the revitalized effort, thanks for kickstarting this again Alvinator!
$25 from me. $50 if it gets done before 2016
Throw me down for $20
$30 (and another $50) before the end of the year.

Whoever first successfully creates a working wear24 ROM with NFC enabled and Google Pay Support, will win the money pool. In order for one to claim the prize they must PM me with a working ROM, I will test the ROM and if it is valid, I will award them the money pool. In order to participate you must donate at least $5.00 USD to the money pool, make sure to notate the donation with your username.
You do not have to participate in order to donate money to the pool. Show your support to the dedicated DEVS! The higher the pool, the harder and faster they will work!
Edit:
Here is the pool. The deadline is July 4th 2018. If no one claims the prize the funds will be refunded to the supporters.
Good idea
Definitely
I just picked one up for $59.99 Brand New and I'm quite interested if development will pick up now.
Would be excellent if it's 2 types: NFC enabled and NFC enabled minus the Verizon's bloatware.
Anyone know the best way to start a donation pool? Paypal? Kickstarter? or is there a website dedicated to competitions and such?
Can we just port existing firmware from similar devices like LG Watch Sport?

C'mon folks, this would be great to get done! Just make sure whenever it is that each and every step required is written down for less experiened (but willing to try) folks like me.
Thanks!
We need more people to chip in! It's only $5 and you all know we REALLY need this!
This is really sad :crying:
I am planning to start working on the asteroidos port today, I'll let you know you guys about the progress.

Awesome. It would be sweet if you could figure out a way to install it without taking the device apart. But if you can't, I'm willing to do the Wear surgery to get it rooted. I've been sitting on an extra T-Mobile sim, so I'll go ahead and pop that in while I have it open.
What I'm trying to say is, when you're ready for somebody to test it, I'm game.

Hi, I appreciate your speculating as it attracts people’s attention and make this topic discussable.
