The problem I have seen with some of the reviews is that they were
definitely entered by employees or people associated with CyberQuadSales.
I have been playing with the idea of ordering one from CyberQuadSales for some time. (But see below.)
Yes, that was
my thread. The Great Britain folks were generally cautious about doing business with this company--and with good reason.
Here is new info, which basically settles the issue for me:
I finally was able to talk to an employee by phone (561-708-0843). I explained that I wanted the Corded Mobile Connector and that I knew of several other people who might want one. He said that (a) they are available and (b) they have five. I asked if I could use PayPal. Answer, yes. But...
I explained that I would pay them the extra ~3% PayPal fee in order to order it as a business (buyer-seller) transaction. He said that they
only accepted a PP "Friends & Family" transaction. I questioned him further, and pointed out that after receiving mine (successfully) I would be glad to mention their business on the TMC site. No soap. He said that it is their policy to
only use PP Friends & Family transactions.
That is a deal-breaker for me, and I told him so.
PP Friends & Family (and other online money transfer services like Venmo and Zelle) transactions provide little or
NO security for a buyer. If anything goes wrong it is difficult or impossible to recover your money (such as I understand). (Plus the seller has to of course pay the PP transaction fees.) These services are intended for, as the name implies, transactions between friends and family members--
not for business transactions or between strangers.
For this reason, and because of the other "dodgy" background information about this website and company mentioned in this Thread and
here,
I do not recommend trying to purchase a Corded Mobile Connector from CyberQuadSales. Too bad.
On the other hand, if someone has taken a chance (of losing $200+) and has had a
good experience, please let us know.
