I just purchased a phone from Best Buy about an hour and a half ago
. It was the one that I had initially purchased from that seller on Ebay, that never shipped me the phone
. I still wanted that phone that I saw on GearWorst, so I decided to try an experiment. I used one of my PayPal accounts @ 5:30am this morning to REbuy the other phone. I emailed them shortly after to see if my order went through. It did....but was cancelled/refunded immediately
. I had this problem a few months ago using PayPal to TRY to purchase things from a couple of vendors in China, and was on the phone for a couple of hours with PayPal to try to get the issue fixed. So, about 20 minutes ago, I tried to RE-buy the phone ONE more time (using the PayPal account that was giving me trouble back in June). I decided to NOT use credit card payment through PayPal, so I tried having the money taken out of my checking account directly (via PayPal). Unbelievable............It now looks like it worked
. So now......I may have (2) phones coming
. I'm going to contact the China company in a little while.....and see if the payment REALLY went through this time
. Oh well.......We'll see
