    I have _never _ heard of this happening. Not to say it doesn't, but is clearly not the norm nor is it in any way expected.

    My first outgoing transfer was @SmartHost and I can still access the VPS for several days after the transfer was processed.
    This means the provider does not wipe the VPS until the buyer reinstalls.

    This means that provider doesn’t wipe the VPS. Naughty, but a one off.

    If the seller puts anything on the VPS, the buyer could suddenly gain access to the garden.

    Something the buyer must accept the risk for, if they chose to use the VPS after the transfer is initated.

    It's a risk for the seller.

    Yes, I mistyped.

    This implies that the seller cannot safely use the VPS, and thus the transfer period should be paid by the buyer.

    You can use the VPS safely, you are just somewhat limited in the usage.

    Nonsense. I suspect you have been doing push-ups via your forehead again.

    Leg days are brutal.

    Forehead days must be worse.

    A similar situation is mail order: seller of physical goods is allowed to charge the credit cards as soon as the product ships; they don't need to wait until delivery.

    Physical items do not, generally, have a time limit on their existence. If they do, the expiry 'clock' does not begin until the buyer 'activates' the purchase. For example, one does not purchase a one-month Brazzers gift card and have it mailed to a sexy friend only for said sexy friend to find they only have 25 days of the subscription remaining due to delivery taking 5-6 days.

    Tello SIM cards, if ordered from the carrier directly, start the clock on the order date, not delivery date.

    First time I’ve ever heard of such an abhorrent practice. Don’t buy from them.

    Milk and most other perishable items have even shorter expiration clocks.
    They start as soon as the item leaves the supplier.
    Even the most expensive delivery service cannot pause the clock.

    I would not acceptf a transfer of milk from you without knowing delivery was immediate. If you failed to arrange delivery of the the milk to me at a reasonable date before the expiration date I would expect a full refund and a picture of you wearing Racknerd Swag, possibly whilst poking your tongue out.

  • And here i am waiting for account approval 😂 for like 20days....

    Wow. That's insane. Any reason why @VirMach is this slow in handling this?

    We do whatever the transferring party requests.
    We have no idea if the transferring party is selling the service and content, or if just the service package.
    We leave it as-is, unless told to wipe it with fresh new O/S install, as transfer to us means "transfer as-is", and is really just a change of billing account/responsibility.
    We are not mind-readers.. ;-)

    I appreciate you’re not a mind reader, but I would expect you to ask since you’re not. It’s not unreasonable to expect that, is it?

    How to add weight to the eyebrows?
    Do I use a cable or a dumbbell?
    Where can I attach the weight?


    Here's how I train fingers.

    Erm, probably need a piercing to hook onto.

    I did something similar the other day with the cables lol.

  • KS-14 in FR with CA account, ready to transfer for 40$ (has around 20 days remaining), it's basically no setup fees.

    There is no difference

    Reseller sounds like a professional business with customer service.
    Scalper sounds like selling for profit and then move on.
