are you able to get your money back? for example call your card company or paypal etc ..
what ever the outcome, i hope it works out for you. Not every one is shit, just next time always wait a bit longer and ask how to do such trades.
good luck and don't let this rune your holidays.
maybe now is the time to ping one of the mods for advise.
Thanks, I think I can get the money back through paypal, but I'm more curious about the seller's mindset to play with me like this
I am actually curious about your mindset! Seriously, to pay someone without proof... I understand the urge to not miss out on good deal.
I sincerely hope you get what you paid for.
You still paid without proof???? This is a red flag
Well no, if the other person doesn't seem trustworthy (i.e. you see no tracks of similar transaction with trusted members of the forum) just don't send 200$ to that person! For small transactions you might take the risk, for such a big sum... it's very, very risky. That's why I thought that it was a joke.
I hope you used a way that lets you get your money back if the seller doesn't deliver (paypal "buy a service" for example).
Good luck!
This is why escrow is important.
Or at least get the seller to prove they have the server.
Good luck man, one of these two things happened:
1. He's taking your $200 to buy the server off someone else for a cheaper price and making a profit flipping servers.
2. He's gone.
Actually it should be 200 euros
No. But Kimsufi is very much their low-budget line so you should set expectations accordingly (old kit, etc.). FWIW: for my use of their services I've found them to be excellent value, one hardware issue that was very quickly resolved, occasional network slowness but nothing serious, otherwise everything works smoothly and I get what I pay for (i.e. everything promised in the initial sale), and when I finally get around to rearranging my infrastructure (something that has been planned but not done for too many months!) I may move some stuff from elsewhere to one of the new range's 3x2T or 4x2T offerings.
The 1git speed is an accident, these machines were supposed be limited to 100mbit. They are unlikely to arbitrarily take the accidental bonus away from you, if they were going to it would have already happened, but if they need to rearrange networking or such (replacing failed/EOL switches, significant firmware or other config updates on the switches, physically moving the machines due to rack/power issues, ...) there is no reason to expect they'll go to any effort so that you keep the free unplanned extra, so you might lose it at some point in future.
Sometimes you end up getting more due to the availability of parts, though if you get less you should be able to walk away with full refund (or negotiate a reduction). The KS1 used to be quoted as ½Tb with a lower Atom chip, but some people got 1Tb or the better CPU (I got the latter, and when the drive failed a 2Tb replaced it). Now the KS1 line is sold as 1Tb+N2800 so presumably the older parts have run out and/or are being completely retired.
Though in the case of this thread the server already exists (you are looking for a transfer) so initial delivery isn't an issue and I doubt they'd downgrade you if a replacement drive was needed.
As I have been sleeping, after 24 hours working, i May respond now... first off all, there have not passed 48 hours. Secound, i offered him a refund already before i went to bed last night.
For that price I can get you mine SYS-1-SAT-32 8THDD 1GB/s upstream and downstream in Canada
just refund him now.
Thanks, sys I already own a 16T machine
I'm looking for another ks-le
if you have the machine then please post the yabs script score and complete this transaction, if you don't have the machine then please refund. I don't want to waste everyone's time again
Thank you for your answer, although there is a possibility that it will be changed to the standard configuration, but I still want to bet
@doulala
So what was the final outcome? Did you get the server in the end? Or did @Pappeske refund you?
i feel dooda is making money and the $200 lesson didn't burn his soul.
lets see if he still cries or already recovered.
Didn't get the machine and didn't get the money back
sad
I wouldnt drop the dispute
do not drop the chargeback
Don't drop the chargeback
did you drop the chargeback?
Yeah as others have said dropping the chargeback would make it difficult to get your money back if he decided not to give you the server. Would have been happy to sell one of mine for that cost
as I currently have 2.
Nice scam @Pappeske
@iKeyZ I'll give you $100
@doulala I have a server for you for $200
I strongly recommend you do not drop the dispute. You have no reason to believe this person is acting in good conscience (in fact you have a chunk of evidence to the contrary) and will properly refund you once the chargeback is cancelled.
If it takes a while to get your money back that way, and/or there is some processing fee that means you lose a bit of it, take this as a lesson learned. Don't let them get away with crappy behaviour scot-free, let the charge-back be on their record for as long as they hang around. Maybe they'll learn a lesson. Probably not, but people getting away with crappy behaviour with no long-term consequence just encourages more crappy behaviour to happen.
