       | PayPal sucks--big surprise. But at the same time, I preordered a
       | Turing Pi in February, they communicated in March that it was
       | processed, and then I didn't hear from them again until May 25,
       | and then it showed up in early June. That two-month communication
       | lapse between March-June might have been your problem with PayPal
       | disputes. Next time, communicate more.

         | harvested.
         | 
         | The person who posted this is likely on Turing Pi's e-mail list
         | and they simply copied-and-pasted the link they received.
