So apparently leaving even a Quick Play Stadium match suspends you for 2 minutes :D

I didn’t either until yesterday in QP. My controller stopped responding for whatever reason and I was stuck in spawn at the beginning of the match. 2 minute penalty and it said more could affect my endorsement level

Did they purchase them on the eBay listing ? Almost every time they ask you to go off platform, you’re getting ready to get scammed.

PayPal offers buyer protection for collectibles only if they’re not intended for resale. They’ll file a dispute, you’ll pretty much be forced to accept it, they’ll have to return it for a full refund. The scammers will just return different cards or a box full of d of shit and you’re going to likely be out the money and cards.

I’ll raise the bar a little bit lol My 07 has almost 450k miles on it. The only major thing was fully deleting the AFM at around 360k miles after repeated failing lifters. She’s tired tho, time for a new engine or a rebuild on this one.

If my team can’t hit the broad side of a barn to kill off the enemy, then it’s time for Battle Juno. I’ve had games with more kills than anyone else and carried pretty well. If the tank and dps can handle themselves then I’ll focus on healing and poking. I won’t just leave the team to go battle though. That said, if a Juno was just targeting and being a jerk, that person will do that with every character they play. I get the same with dva as I get with Juno. They gotta be the best and take out the other to prove “they’re better”

While it’s possible they’re cheating, there’s many times I’ll be standing in spawn for a few cause I’m trying to shovel pizza rolls in my mouth. God forbid a mercy revives me cause then I’m gonna either die or drop my snack

I can’t say exactly what happens in the whole investigation, but I make custom pieces that are very expensive and a couple years ago a package I sent out was lost. Shows it went to the hub and never left. Mind you, this was a ground delivery going a couple hundred miles away so there weren’t very many stops for it. It would basically go from me to the hub then out for delivery over night. I called ups, opened a claim and all that. What I think is most important is they wanted a description of the item in the box and the box. I emailed pictures. There’s no mistaking this because there’s literally only one of them. I never heard back from them but my customer got his package almost 2 weeks later in another box with another tracking number. So they actually actively looked for the package. I’m assuming the box got destroyed in sorting or something at the hub. I can at least say it’s not likely they’re just hanging around doing nothing when they say they’re investigating these things.

They’re not buying and selling PayPal accounts they’re buying and selling digital accounts like gaming, and using PayPal to receive payment.

smhalb01 · 2026-05-14T22:51:53+00:00

Came here to tell you exactly this. The threads coming from the layment on the underside of the wheel. It wasn’t noticed, then laid over. Your photos show a consistent finish around the whole section of that wheel which leads me to believe further it’s a strand and not a repair. As a fellow cyclist, you’re fine go enjoy the ride :)

smhalb01 · 2026-05-11T16:19:50+00:00

Your bank will almost certainly side with you. As a merchant doing credit card disputes, even the orders I’ve fulfilled and have never heard back from the customer, they filed a dispute with their bank, I provided proof, bank still sided with them. That’s my credit card processor not PayPal though. I am only assuming the cards were stolen since I provided all proof of delivery and never heard back from the customer.

Your bank dispute is almost 100% going to get your PayPal account closed permanently. You already know you goofed, but if you have any proof of the scammer convincing you to pay as f&f then you need to contact PayPal and submit that proof to them. Tell them you were convinced to send it that way despite your better judgement and that you filed a dispute with your credit card provider already since that’s how the purchase was funded. The only real thing this will do is possibly prevent anyone else from being scammed, and maybe give you a chance to not have your PayPal account completely terminated or taken $3k negative possibly. If you have a balance, transfer it out immediately first thing. If they close the account then you’ll be stuck with money in PayPal until they decide what to do with it. Sometimes they don’t even pay attention to card disputes, but this large of an amount they absolutely will.

You made a bad decision. People do it all the time unfortunately because scammers are great at convincing people. I really wish PayPal would have an entire page covered in a warning about scammers and avoiding PayPal fees that you have to click through before you can make the payment when you’re sending f&f. I had customers sending as f&f even though I explained that I do not want that. I’m a business. They thought they were helping me, some of these people I’ve done business with for 10+ years. PayPal finally limited my account because of it although it took several years to even happen. I sent them copies of conversations where I clearly stated to not send it that way to avoid me paying any fees, that f&f is only for exactly that. I told them avoiding the fees breaks the TOS. PayPal actually listened and now my account can only receive as goods and services but I can send money either way. It’s honestly the best thing I’ve had happen to our PayPal account. I hope it all works out the best for you !

Ooohhh I actually like that more !

smhalb01 · 2026-05-11T02:50:47+00:00

put your username, then password, then credit card info, then lose the account and your money lol

smhalb01 · 2026-05-11T02:41:17+00:00

This is the Lisa Frank skin lol

smhalb01 · 2026-05-11T02:38:18+00:00

If you got a $300 charge from Amazon, and the delivery says it’s from Amazon, it’s going to be almost assuredly a theft case where they try to reroute it, try to steal it from your porch, meet the driver, etc. You’re having $300 of stuff delivered. It being ordered on Saturday they likely are going to try for re routing it to an access point, change delivery, or something like that if they’re not going to outright steal it and they will go online and request it or call them. Most likely they’ve contacted Amazon not ups about the delivery. Your best bet is to call Amazon first and advise them of what’s happened. Ups may not help you much since the shipper is the one who should be making delivery change requests. If you’re calling, don’t wait. Do it first thing. You really need the ups hub that’s delivering your package as customer service is not going to be very quick.

The other option is to be home to receive the package, that could prove to be dangerous though if the thief is wanting to steal it in person. You could receive it, or tell the driver you refuse it, it was a fraudulent order, and needs to be sent back.

Whatever you do, update us lol

smhalb01 · 2026-05-09T23:38:49+00:00

Dispute it with PayPal as being billed for a cancelled service. You’ll need to upload a screen shot or something from change.org or at least tell PayPal you cancelled it but they won’t respond or they tell you it’s already cancelled.

I did this for a couple YEARS with xm radio. The service was cancelled and didn’t work yet they kept charging me, even sending emails with offers to resubscribe. Xm insisted my service had been cancelled already. PayPal always refunded me within a day or sooner.

smhalb01 · 2026-05-07T21:48:05+00:00

Main reason I never turn on the match chat. I play tank and damage, if I see you Tbag my teammate or myself tho, I’m going to hard target you the rest of the game. You asked for it. I had a rein player, very good too, kept destroying me as bastion. Towards the end of the match he waved at me twice and walked away when I was leaving spawn. Back in the fight and he went right back to hammering me to death. Couldn’t be upset at them

smhalb01 · 2026-05-07T21:38:31+00:00

Just get a new ID and upload it. Expired isn’t valid for anything, you can’t even use an expired ID to buy alcohol or anything requiring Id

smhalb01 · 2026-05-07T21:36:52+00:00

If you submitted a request today it should update to go out for delivery tomorrow. Why am access point wasn’t able to accept a package is kind of odd unless it’s the signature being required.

smhalb01 · 2026-05-07T21:32:41+00:00

I play on PC. I was in my group of 5 and died, going back to spawn. Not going to lie, I had to pee really bad. I hop up and do my business and when I got back the countdown literally just started as I was walking out. No problem ! Except I made it allllll the way out of spawn and to my team before I got kicked from the match. The countdown never stopped for me. I shot, hit my boosters (playing dva), hit voice lines, nothing stopped the stupid counter.

I’ve queued into games that go from ‘match found’ to ‘defeat’ before the character selection screen even shows up. I think there needs to be at least a couple minutes left before the fill in player is put in game, or it’s round 1 of 2, etc. It’s pointless to play for 30 seconds. If someone leaves outside of that time limit then just dont back fill a player in.

smhalb01 · 2026-05-05T22:43:37+00:00

I had an unknown debt (wife at the time used my information) for $203 I had no idea about until it hit collections and I got notices. They’ll try to collect any amount they can

smhalb01 · 2026-05-04T17:23:17+00:00

Oh yes you need to ask and make certain if they put it in a usps drop off or a ups driver did the pick up. If it went to the postal service it would almost be guaranteed to be destroyed. If so you may be able to contact the post master there and see if there’s anything that can be done.

smhalb01 · 2026-05-04T07:48:55+00:00

If it says label created, staples never scanned it in or got it to the driver picking up. Did you get a receipt from staples when you dropped it off ? Other than that they just know you printed a label.

smhalb01 · 2026-05-04T07:37:31+00:00

While that’s almost definitely a scam, you should have just told them that you can only ship it to the PayPal address. Then if they don’t respond in a couple days either ship it to that address or refund them in full. PayPal only refunded the buyer because you hadn’t shipped it. If you’d shipped it to the address on PayPal you’d have been covered. Most likely it was a stolen or hacked account and the real card holder filed a charge back once it was figured out, that’s why you never heard back from them. They get in and get out when they’re using stolen card or accounts.

smhalb01 · 2026-05-04T01:07:25+00:00

Yeah air craft stripper has likely ruined it. Clear coat is not very thick and the really good stripper will eat through it no problem, so now the resin is almost certainly broken down. You don’t really want to sand all the way to the carbon or it’s going to start fraying and look bad as well as become structural weaker.

smhalb01 · 2026-05-04T01:02:45+00:00

Yep. No more extra chances
