did Dabs forget to take payment?


Recommended Posts

So i ordered a new GB 7970 from them exactly 7 days ago, and payed for next day delievery. sure enough it arrived next day, however as of yet, no dosh has left my account. This item came straigh from their supplier, but I find it very strange that nothing has come off at 7 days later. normally it comes off before they despatch. below wording taken from their website.

It's our company policy to only take the payment from your credit card, debit card or chosen payment provider once your goods are about to be 'picked' and not when you place your order. On some occasions, we could instruct our suppliers to ship an item to you directly and this would be the only occasion when we take the funds from your card or payment provider before having the goods in stock. Our suppliers attempt to ship the next working day, so you shouldn't see any difference or delays from the time the payment is taken to receiving your goods.

looks like it, just keep the money in your account for a couple of months atleast, not sure how much the amount is and if it would be damaging if you spent it and then got charged.

it's easily done, i once ordered 2 t-shirts from a store and was told payment would be taken later as systems were down, payment was never taken :)

They'll figure it out when they realise they are hundreds of ? out of pocket

Hell, EBuyer sent me 2 x PC Cases when I only ordered one, I kept quite and a week or so later they emailed me saying "Either give it back, or pay for it"

I gave it back

Not sure about laws on the other side of the pond, but they can't legally do that here. Once its your hand, it's yours. They can ask for it back only out of the goodness of your own heart :p

I did wonder that myself too and it probably is the same here but I use eBuyer all the time, plus I had no use for the extra case at the time anyway :)

well, still havent been charged for it!! i bought another one from them, fwe days ago, and payment has been taken for that one. but still not for the first one! looks like I may have lucked out after all! result! :-)

Heh, nice one, I think you should use the extra cash to buy me one now :p

well, finally got an invoice for first card! :-( however I also got another tracking number and them telling me my card has been despatched as of 17th for next day delvery! wtf??! looks like i will be charged, but may also receive a third one! lol

I would contact them and come clean unless you have enough money in your account for a third one - just in case!

geez, i was actually thinking this invoice which i just received (which was defo for the first card i bought) was just them catching up, sending me all the historic paper work emails. but just checked and its definitely on its way! the third one is in Edinburgh out for delivery. free one after all.

I hope you made them send a courier to deal with it. Otherwise you're out of time/pocket!

Do you even have enough slots for a third one or are you going to sell it on? :p

keep it for a cupple of months and if you hear nothing. free stuff!

you do realise they are entitled to with hold taking payment for upto 6 months.

a transaction has taken place and if the funds have not left his account this could be due to a billing error

they have proof that a transaction has taken place and payment info has been provided at the time of ordering so they will seek to take payment from him.

I took it to work and they sent a courier to collect it from there so not too bad :)

I wouldn't have been paying to send it back, "you want it, come get it" lol !

Be weary.

This happened to me too. I got the paperwork months afterwards saying it was out on courier but it was actually all for the one i'd already received.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
