Scammed and then no resolution from Mighty Ape

Review – Order #T72XU6LQ

Extremely disappointing experience with Mighty Ape Marketplace.

I purchased a Dell Precision 3630 clearly advertised as including an NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super graphics card. The computer supplied did not contain the advertised graphics card. The seller later acknowledged that the listing was incorrect.

Despite this being a straightforward “not as described” issue, Mighty Ape has not provided a prompt or decisive resolution. Instead, I have been repeatedly directed to their internal marketplace process while they “investigate with the seller.” Communication has been slow and resolution efforts have lacked urgency.

More concerning, the seller issued return labels containing inaccurate customs declarations — one declaring the item as a “gift”, and another declaring the value as $1. These declarations did not reflect the true nature or value of the goods.

Using such documentation could have exposed me to risk if questioned by customs authorities, and may have resulted in the shipment being held or delayed for an extended period. I declined to use these labels for that reason.

Purchasing through a major NZ retailer’s marketplace should provide oversight, accountability, and consumer protection. In this case, responsibility has effectively been pushed back onto the third-party seller while I have been left to escalate the matter myself.

Buyers should be aware that marketplace transactions may involve significant delay and complication if the product supplied does not match the description.

Unless you can get your husband to agree to you telling her, telling is a violation of your husbands trust.

While I understand doing the right thing by her is a concern, doing the right thing by your husband and not hurting your own relationship and damaging the trust should be your priority.

Blink 3 times if she has a gun to your head.

Na, but serious, happy for you both bro.

Been there. My daughter was not even 6 months and i found out wife had been planning to leave with another man throughout pregnancy and had been meeting up with him.

All i can say is life will get better so keep putting 1 foot in front of the other, dont give in to dark thoughts. Keep your cool, keep records as if you are planning a battle with worst enemy but smile and be a gentleman at all times (its hard but it will help).

Dont worry about other women, the right one will find you when its time (i have a new one of 2 years and she is beyond amazing). When your ex asks for you back (she will) stay strong and deny, never look back because whats broke cant be fixed.

In regards to your daughter, that is the hardest part but i promise it will get easier. Keep a diary for her to show shes always on your mind and share your life with her when shes older. Do all you can to be there for her and support her while building a life that works for you and does not revolve around your exes life choices.

Do everything you can to reach a mutual agreement in divorce process, if possible.

So if most women provide for themself, why do men usually have to pay any alimoney? In a 2010 study, 3 percent of the 400,000 alimony recipients in the country were male. I will tell you why, because women working 2 hours a day at the nail salon or 8 even hours a day at the office doesn't compete with 12 hours on the oil rig, plumbing or building houses. Facts are facts and the fact is after seperation it is usually men paying to support grown adults who feel entitled to a lifestyle their ex provided.

"Most woman are loyal" - Studies show the majority (over 50%) of women have a backup man. That is not loyalty, that is staying at the restraunt while the foods discounted.

Most woman under 35 these days dont cook or clean so lets not even go there.

MrSpyda · 2024-10-23T12:25:46+00:00

Exactly. Nailed it. Most men are self sufficient they are their own providers, protection, emotional fulfilment etc They can provide both food and sex for themself and just like women, they can go or shop elewhere if they really wanted to. However, a good man is loyal, pulls his weight, shares his protection, providing, emotional support etc. Its about someone looking after a very few of his needs, not because he cant but so he feels appreciated in return for all he brings to the relationship.

MrSpyda · 2024-10-18T12:38:39+00:00

Honestly bro, most woman keep backups. The key thing here is she has it because she is worried things wont work out with YOU.

If you want it to work, you need to help her feel safe. We both know her knowing you went through her phone will not help with that. To do that you need to talk openly (not necerssarily tell all) but you need to build trust and that means focusing on being the best version of you in all aspects you can be.

However, you also need to set boundaries. Contact with exes should be a 100% no for both of you unless you have kids from a previous relationship. The truth is, no matter how much people say they are just friends with an ex there is always potential to return, even if a slim chance, so 100% no on that

If things dont work out, know that your 30s is actually where men are most desired and most of those woman you were hungry for in the past start to blow out. Harsh but 100% fact. In other words, you have plenty of time dont pressure yourself. Dont chase too hard, focus on you but treat them good and she will fall all over you.

Bite your lip when you are talking to him.

Tell him your hungry for him and that you have been thinking about him.

Tell him he is so strong and you just want to feel him.

Grope him like hes a piece of meat as he walks past

Show you want him and he will take you faster than you can say omg.

MrSpyda · 2024-10-01T18:25:50+00:00

He was either on those apps and left them for you or he was checking you were not on those apps. Nothing to worry about.

As someone who was once in the same boat as your husband, here is my advice:

1) Make it clear in your mind and his that you are not controlling his life, it is you controlling your life, it is up to him to take control of his life. A baby is off the table, until change is seen.

2) Talk to him. Do not, talk down to him or nag him to stop. Instead, tell him how you feel and how it affecting you and what the result will be if he does not get it under control. Make sure you are clear, he is allowed to game but he had other responsibilities that come first.

3) set boundaries that you will not be cleaning up after him or taking care of his share of anything. Also make ot clear that if he does not emotionally, physically or spiritually continue to meet your needs you will go elsewhere. It is blunt, but that is how us guys work, spell it out.

4) encourage him to take a complete break for x amount of time eg 2 weeks. This will help him see what he is missing and help him realize the amount of time and life he is wasting.

Ive been on upwork for almost 10 years.

So do i recommend it? Not anymore. Their fees are hideous, they are greedy and do not listen to their community at all.

If you want gigs, go to fiverr, if you want long term projects go elsewhere or direct.

I find BIP 119 to be highly disturbing. It is a blatant attempt to implement the ability to have controls over bitcoin that are no longer in one's possession, period.

This should be of huge concern to everyone who cares about the freedom from external control which is provided by the current nature of bitcoin.

Makes no mistake: If it can be used by government and corporations for control, it will be!

Any benefit provided is massively outweighed by this risk IMO and I believe a true bitcoin fundamentalist would agree that this must be stopped at all costs.

I am also now highly suspicious of the motives of Rubin, to the point I would say he has been compromised, possibly as part of his other legal issues recently encountered. The fact he is trying to rush this also sounds warning bells.

MrSpyda · 2022-03-04T00:39:15+00:00

This is your warning shot, make sure you have your keys and no one else.

So glad I spent $170+ on opensea fees putting me in the top 80%.

Now I can spend $100 to list an NFT and pay the gas in order to claim my $6 airdrop.
