The FAILE Refunds Thread, by Montubu7 on Aug 29, 2007 13:41:23 GMT 1, I disagree. It's really not hard to process things and not oversell! It really annoys me that even with the refund it'll take about a week to get the money back - that is really no way to handle the situation at all
But you knew that before from emails & info on this thread, mike even posting warnings that it would take ages to get any money back....

Not trying to be mean, but if you're going to get this upset any time you get refunded for a print you want, you're going to have to:
a) get a whole lot quicker at the purchasing process
or
b) stop buying prints altogether.
This is just part of the game. At least Faile were nice enough to explain that it would in fact be happening.

I paid $640 as I need to international shipping to the UK, I put mine in the basket around 16.30 and paid at 16.52Errr... that'll be why you go a refund, you probably paid last of everyone
Errr Mike, I have NOT got a refund (yet!) fingers crossed ;D

The FAILE Refunds Thread, by dgb133 on Aug 29, 2007 14:42:33 GMT 1, Although it won't affect me I'm not sure everyone knew that they would lose their currency conversion fees that paypal charges.
Theoretically if you get a refund from paypal all fees are reimbursed.
BUT if there is a currency conversion I don't think they refund you that fee.
And also if the difference between the $ and the ยฃ swing against you (which it always seems to do) then you might also lose money if your currency goes down inbetween payment and refund.
If that's all clear? Happened to me once when I refunded a GBP payment and lost about $30 in currency fees and weakness in the dollar (although the payment was refunded within 15 minutes - apparently enough time for the dollar to go down huge according to paypal). I was insanely pissed at paypal and one of the many reasons I do not use them unless I have to.

The FAILE Refunds Thread, by buffin on Aug 29, 2007 14:56:27 GMT 1, My credit card company now also charge me a fee when I pay for something using paypal. Could be because paypal do not operate out of the UK anymore. Regarding Faile at least their website worked this time. Not perfect I know but at least they are trying.

The FAILE Refunds Thread, by Pattycakes on Aug 29, 2007 15:10:23 GMT 1, All this has been discussed in previous threads, yet the system still stinks. Frankly don't give a shit if people choose to neg me over this or not, but I think Faile really should do something about it. It's unfair that we lose money because they can't work out a suitable system to sell their prints. Remember they turned over a hell of a lot of our hard earned money yesterday. Me thinks they can afford to sell their work in a fair manner. I think that a lottery system is clearly the only way to go, unless they sort out the check out system.

So why bitch about it then. I'll give you one back just because I believe that you should never be negged for expressing an opinion.
