we would be here until Christmas if I took the time to explain the ordeal the me and all my customers have been thru the past 3 months

the main thing is what paypal has done to me, like a idiot I had all my funds laying in a paypal account, 4 or 5 claims come in totaling over 5000$ and then poof, looked up and still is to this day, can't do a god damn thing this means I can't order new parts(all my suppliers use my business paypal mastercard for payment), can't send refunds, can't accept or charge new orders, can't get to funds to ship with, can't pay bills due from fedex from shipping so that gets locked up and unuseable etc. etc. etc.

I had to borrow/loan 2000$ just to ship 15 orders or so, this is just the start of things

the clock kit that I used for the Oppo went AWOL, which was a one of a kind and was the only thing that worked in the Oppo(the player is very picky about this), my supplier for that sent me a load of them that didn't work, dicked around with them wasting weeks and they never fixed things and screwed me over, so I tried to locate another supplier, found one after 3 weeks, problem is that being my paypal account was locked up I couldn't order them, so same as with shipping I had to borrow/loan more funds, same old same old, these clocks are working perfect now

to continue on, 3 or 4 of Shawns SPDIF boards I had here decided to not work with the mods, so I sent those in to him and had to order a few more, yet again, no paypal account and all my funds tied up in it, so again had to borrow money and send Shawn a money order, all this takes time and addes up, worst news of all, Shawns new shipment of SPDIF boards that came in a few days ago are still not working for me

lots more to go over, but no point in it, added to all this the worst personal problems I have ever had in a single year and I have been in a mess

if you have paypal claims against me and have your stuff please do the right thing and get them taken care of ASAP

I have exactly 7 more orders to ship and a load of refunds to send and no way to get to the money at this moment, so bear with me here if I seem curt or not myself, there is only so much a man can take

thanks to everyone for their patience during this time, I hope you enjoy your players very much
