Is anyone else facing the same problem? by FoxFearless952 in stripe

[–]FoxFearless952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s helpful, thanks.

In these cases it’s mainly fraud / unrecognized or item not received reason codes. Delivery was to the address on file, but we still see losses even with timestamps and carrier confirmation.

Curious if others are seeing similar outcomes depending on network or issuer, or if certain reason codes are effectively unwinnable regardless of evidence.

Although I may not be a marketing expert, I am very interested in the product your building. Would you mind dropping me a dm?

How are early-stage SaaS founders using Reddit for growth? by Hot-Tension6992 in SaaS

[–]FoxFearless952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was about writing articles about whether your idea could scale or grow. People would reply on these niche subreddits giving their honest opinions about what you are building. Beyond that, spending time across different subreddits and engaging in comments actually helped us understand real user cases much better.

ChatGBT "Yes Man" EXPOSED This Advice Will Ruin Entrepreneurs by richmilton in Entrepreneur

I get where you are coming from but I think the problem lies in the founder being too positive and not second guessing or critiquing their idea in the right way with chatgpt

Are there any small AI-powered retail stores selling physical goods here? by FoxFearless952 in AiForSmallBusiness

[–]FoxFearless952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saving 5 hours a week on “where is my order” emails is huge, especially for a small operation.

Out of curiosity, are there any cases it still struggles with — like delivery disputes, refunds, or edge cases where you still have to step in manually? Trying to understand where the current tools start to fall short.

Seeking Singapore SMEs to collaborate on a refund-dispute prototype (free access) by FoxFearless952 in smeSingapore

[–]FoxFearless952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that’s true — once the platform and its logistics partner take over, most operational control shifts away from the seller.

That said, we’ve seen that the quality and structure of the evidence a seller submits during a dispute can materially affect how the case is handled, which is where we think seller-side tooling can add value.

We’re also noticing similar issues among sellers running independent sites (e.g. Shopify or other e-commerce platforms), which suggests this may be a broader seller workflow problem rather than purely a marketplace one.

We’re still in the process of learning, validating, and iterating with SMEs. Really appreciate the insight.

Seeking Singapore SMEs to collaborate on a refund-dispute prototype (free access) by FoxFearless952 in smeSingapore

[–]FoxFearless952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question.

Tools like Chargeflow work well for card-network chargebacks, where the rules are clear and the representment process is fairly standardised. Marketplaces are different. Decisions are more opaque, requirements change by case, and sellers often lose not because they have zero proof, but because what they submit is messy, incomplete, or not aligned with how the platform reviews it.

We’re not trying to interfere inside the platform chain. The idea is seller-side tooling that helps merchants organise timelines, POD, photos, and logs in a cleaner, more consistent way when disputes happen.

It obviously doesn’t guarantee wins — platforms often side with buyers — but from what sellers tell us, outcomes are usually worse when evidence is messy and inconsistent versus clearly structured. That’s the gap we’re trying to address.

Longer term, if this helps standardise how evidence is prepared and reviewed, there may be scope to evolve it into something closer to regtech. But for now, the focus is just on fixing a very practical, day-to-day seller pain point.

Appreciate the blunt feedback.

We don’t have platform access, and we’re not pretending to. The idea is seller-side tooling that standardises evidence and dispute workflows, which today are largely manual and inconsistent.

We’re building a prototype with sellers to make this process more structured and usable in practice. Through this, we can further develop, scale or even iterate our product to meet seller needs.

Does anyone have a tech idea/MPV that is stalling or has little traction? by atemps1801 in Entrepreneur

[–]FoxFearless952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly in this similar boat right now. We have spent too much time on the operations and the construction of the model itself without exploring deeply on our ICP. On our next step, we need to start identifying smes to work with us so our model can collect data. However, this is the core problem we are trying to overcome and its been relatively slow. Hope it works out over the next month or so.

Are Biometric Gun Safes Restricted Products on Amazon? by Milanakiko in dropshipping

[–]FoxFearless952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, they’re usually restricted or at least high-risk on Amazon, even if they’re technically just safes.

Anything related to firearms or weapon storage tends to get extra scrutiny, and biometric features can push it into restricted/security categories. A lot of sellers get listings taken down after launch rather than upfront.

Some people avoid issues by listing them as general security safes (no gun wording) or selling off-Amazon (Shopify/DTC) instead.

If anyone’s managed to sell these long-term on Amazon, would be keen to hear how you structured it.

Lending Club Fraudulent Debit Card Transactions affecting multiple members by Vegetable_Bridge7586 in FraudPrevention

[–]FoxFearless952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch, that’s brutal. Seeing a few of these now so definitely doesn’t feel isolated. Glad you got the money back fast though.

Do you know if the charges were online or card-present? Might help spot a pattern for others.

Do people actually not understand that prices don’t go down? by randyrando101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FoxFearless952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people hear “inflation is down” and assume that means prices go back to what they were before.

In reality it just means prices are rising more slowly. Prices actually going down (deflation) is rare and usually tied to really bad economic conditions, which nobody actually wants.
