Could I ask what you had on preorder please TK, he has £127 quid of mine and once again no communication from him.

I ordered GGTS and Brass tube. My order costs around 142 quid.
I got my money back to my account 2 days after i received the email.

Have you received any email from him SK?

The only commuinication I had from Golden Greek was an acceptance of monies and an order being processed email, ever.

[Chrissie]

Skwoddy, what was the date that you paid for the pre-order? I presume it was via Paypal?

[Skwoddy]

Yeah Paypal, 28/8/12

Oh b**ger, by my calculations that makes it over the paypal 45 day time to raise an item not received claim

I'm still fairly certain that Cam will get round to refunding you, but if your PaYpal is funded by either a credit card or Visa debit card, if the worst comes to the worst, you should be able to claim via them.

Its just the silence that annoys me, wouldnt take 2 minutes to send a bulk mail out with details of how he is refunding people, groups of 200 etc

[Chrissie]

Or he could have even posted here in the forum as he is a member.

i was oblivious to what has been going on at ecigz (i dont get on the forums as much as i used to these days ) but i ordered £140 worth of GG bits from smokeguru last week as cam never seems to have stock of everything i want, now ive ordered from guru quite a few times now and after completing the order was confronted with that stupid IBAN money transfer, now being a vendor and bank transfering a bit of cash into chinese accounts frequently i thought ahhh itll only cost me an extra few quid but after taking a trip to my local yorshire bank i was told to transfer £140 through IBAN was going to cost me £45 ? £45 on top of the £140 i asked in a rather squeeky voice, nah thanks i said and after a quick email to the guru himself to explain my predicament he duly sent me his paypal address to send the moneys to.
anyway to cut a long story short im sure he will do the same for any of you guys with things being as they are at the moment, well its got to be worth a try and better than paying silly extra money to make the fat cats at the bank a bit richer

It's all very well Vassilis doing that for the odd person Camper, he's done it for me on GG stuff . . . but if everyone who had a pre-order in with Cam were to do it, he'd be back to square one with PayPal.

Which was, they were holding onto funds with a number of the Greek Modders /Sellers for months at a time . . . not good for any business as you know, when you need a cash flow to exist. Plus, I don't think either he or Imeo realized how much it costs us in the UK to do a IBT.

This hasn't been at all well handled IMHO, period.

[Ellen]

Several people have posted on here and other forums that the Greek seller has allowed them to pay by PayPal, I think the problem will be if he doesn't get the CC option sorted soon, a lot of people will be demanding they are also allowed to pay that way

[Perpetua]

Agreed Ellen . . . months ago Imeo said that there would be a CC option on his site and it still hasn't happened.

Surely you must have got that wrong Perpy As according to many of the posters on the GG ECF sub-forum, Imeo's word is gospel Honestly some of those poster seem to think he is a Greek God

On the other hand, I do think it is bad of Cam not to at least post on the forums to reassure everyone that refunds are forthcoming - even if it was just a C&P message on each forum.

ah right i didnt know that perp, like i said i dont get on to read all the forums as much as id like to these days but i saw that another forum member on ECF actually posted vasillis paypal address (bit naughty i suppose) so thought it would be ok to say if people get stuck they can ask vas if it was ok to do.

[Ellen]

Lol Chrissie, I've been following some of your posts on ECF about this and keep having this image of you banging your head against a wall

[jayjay]

Agree, vassillis needs to get something sorted on that front and quickly.
It's all good hearing it will be sorted next week, but it does need to be sorted.

Out of interest, do you know if Internet banking can do it from our accounts direct to his account without charge?
