@Giles:

One of the most interesting experiences in my 6 year association with Haraki, was taking to California for the first time.  It was for a Self Edge party.

Prior to this visit, Haraki had very fixed views about how his stuff should be worn.  At that party he saw young dudes, street dudes, hip dudes, old dudes all wearing his stuff in different ways.

It was a revalation to him and he was super excited, "never did I think I would see my stuff being worn in so many different ways - it's great"…....

Since that visit, the way he approaches design has changed.......

Just wanted this somewhere more people would see it.  Really speaks volumes

My little brother just turned 12, woke up him at midnight just for the sake of saying happy birthday. It's weird being 9 years apart, I feel more of a parental figure than just an older brother.

Jimmy.  Have just spent a few days backwards and forwarding with PayPal about those chargebacks.  Super slopy shoulders.  BUT, what they did say, that may be of use to you too, is make sure that anyone paying by credit or debit card HAS to go through 3D Secure.  G

[jimmy]

Thanks G. How exactly does the 3D secure protect us?

So in theory with this and signature require postage there is really no way of a fraud charge back. In theory

Well, what happens is the the minute a customer files a chargeback claim (and the feckers have 6 months to do that), the money will get debited from your account.  The burden of proof is then upon you to prove that you shipped it etc etc.  With 3D and proof of postage, you are pretty likely to win the argument, but until that time, you do not have accesss to the funds…......

[jimmy]

I am going to go ahead and state the obvious, we should get a week or so before they retrieve the funds. It's simple and less work for everyone….....sigh......

Jimmy,  This is what you get:

We were recently notified that one of your buyers filed a chargeback. This
simply means they asked their credit card issuer to reverse a payment made
to you purchased on 4 Mar 2011.

The buyer claims that this purchase was made without their authorisation to
use the credit card. Their credit card issuer needs additional information
from you about this transaction to help resolve this.

The credit card issuer decides if the buyer's claim is legitimate. Once the
credit card issuer receives your information, it may take up to 75 days to
make a final decision.

Because the credit card issuer has reversed the charge for this
transaction, we've placed a temporary hold on the funds associated with
this transaction until the case is resolved.

I apparently used a tanning lotion that attracts bees yesterday and today… Yesterday I had one bee hovering about 1 meter from me, for hours straight... Today I had this happen again, but after about half an hour a 2nd bee joined, and suddenly they frantically attacked me in what was an attempt to mate with my oiled in head...

I have now changed crème and after 45 minutes: so far no bees...
