Scooter if you buy from my website you can check with paypal without making an account . I'm with you, I have a cc terminal I don't do phone orders I want your cc info less than you want to give it to me (for instance) . If a fraudster gives me a bad card I become suspect too . Then not having the card in hand doesn't help . Part of the reason I did not want to touch the shims is , I really am unsure about them being hype or not . I would rather loose the sale , Than sell hype . if this item works and you see a noticeable difference . That is what I look for . I have people call me for items I know nothing about and I tell them . If your variator is not closing up all the way , and a few shims between the starter gear and the variator back plate . Will help close up the variator is golden . John Thanks, John. In my case, I was going to open my variator sheaves apart so I could start off with more torque. No doubt the product will work as a matter of physics. A wider apart pulley means a lower riding belt, and that means lower gearing. Why that variator made the belt ride so high, I don't know and I'm not concerned about it. If I had more power it would have been a good thing. I'll use these shims the next time I need lower gearing. Thanks for your response and I'll definitely check out your site. |

You sometimes will use them with the Dr. Pulley sliders since they have a greater range of motion especially to close up the variator for high speed. If you balance things out with the shims you can get the belt further down into the variator for much better take off while the sliders will still have enough range to ride the belt out completely for max speed.
On some variators the sliders will push a belt with back cogs far enough out to rub the cvt case which can cause the catastrophic failure Scooter noted or on some bikes damage the oil sump gasket. The shims can allow you to adjust for this.

I had to chuckle just a little over your (scooter) complete faith in paypal.
I refuse to have a pp account, since their agreement stipulates that if anyone at all, including a pp employee, steals your ccard info, YOU are the one responsible for all felonious charges. Guess I'm funny, but I feel the THIEF should be the one responsible.
I know, it's probably relatively easy to get out of owing for a thief's charges, should your info get hacked. But if you happen to have a hard-nose for a bank, they CAN always point to that clause and insist you pay, since that's what you agreed to.

As for walking away, I did exactly that at a used car dealer last week. Parked in front of the building. Got out, walked in front of the door to check out the first line of vehicles (no wagons). Walked back across for the next group, walked the entire lot and found five wagons of possible interest (but no prices--WHY DO SOME DEALERS REFUSE TO SHOW PRICES??!?!?!?!). Walked a final time right in front of the door, even paused to look inside to see if they were open (I'm guessing so 'cause their lights were all on). Nobody ever bothered to come out, so I got in Mom's car and left.
Went the two minutes up the street to the next dealer, found a wagon and had started checking it out when I saw a salesman coming over--WITH NO COAT ON IN 27° COLD! Said later he didn't think I was going to loiter in the cold, so he didn't want to lose the couple minutes to go get his coat. Guess which dealer I'm recommending?
Yeah, it's not our job as consumers to work to buy the seller's items. It's the seller's job to sell their stuff. And I'm NOT ragging on John because the desired "stuff" was something he didn't carry, didn't have any experience with. That's totally different. But for example OFFICE MAX (yes, I'll name names), if you have someone wanting something in your ad, don't act like it's such a hassle and inconvenience to help said someone find the item.
scooter, I hope you at least told the eBay seller that you weren't buying from them and why. Best thing to do, let them know why a customer's money is going somewhere else.

I've been using paypal about 7 years with no problem. Fingers crossed. It's not that I have complete faith in them, it's just that, when people buy something from me, I never see their card information. That's less people in the loop seeing info they can use to get into your credit cards. When you use a card with a human they can see everything they need, especially if they see your ID. |

Credit Card fraud and hacking happens everyday of the week. If you enter anything information on line or store it online or your computer, it can be hacked. Either from your computer or from the computer you sent it too. Even Amazon was hacked a few years back and the thieves got all kinds credit card numbers, information and money. It happens more than one would think. Admittedly, some companies have excellent security and some do not. We all take chances when we use a Credit Card, Paypal or write a check. The only completely safe way is to use cash. Then of course you have to worry about being hit over the head. What a world we live in. In all reality, these transactions are safe with today's safe guards. I have used Intuit Processing (Quick Books) ever since paper Credit Card transactions went to the wayside and have never had an issue. They have many safeguards in place, and once your information is entered into the point of sale computer, all I can see is the last 4. I also pay an additional charge each month for protection against Credit Card Fraud protecting both my customers and my business. |

No system 100% safe, if it can be made it can be compromised. I use cards and pay pal and only pay pal with people I've used and had no issues with.
On any new thing now I have a what I call "I don't care if it's hacked card" and I thoroughly checked out their TOS, I pay no interest if paid in 30 days, if it is hacked or stolen and used without my knowing they have to worry about it not me as long as I notify them and I DO NOT have it tied to or in conjunction with any of my accounts in my bank or other finances. It has been hacked once, and when I discovered it and called them they canceled it, sent me a new card and removed the charges from my account.
This has worked for me as I have learned things the hard way. If you have good credit cards like this are easy to get with no annual fee and like in this case I get cash back rewards too and they have done a good job for me.

JR Someone got my CC info once but the card company shut it down and didn't charge me anything. I would have stopped them before the second charge they made but they snuck in under the radar with a charge under $20 which I don't get a text for. I got a text on the second one and shut it down immediately. I'm betting it was someone I paid in person but I'll never know. |

If your card is stolen or your account Hi-jacked, PayPal will in fact cover all losses.... Now, there is an exception to this rule. When you have a PayPal account, you have to link a credit/debit card to the account. You can pay a transaction VIA your linked account (e check).... In the instance your bank account gets accessed through PayPal, it's your responsibility to have your Bank cover the loss. Here's a quote from PayPals TOS: Source
------------------------------ On a side note, I have used Ebay since back in the day when it was competition with Haggle.... I've used PayPal since Ebay incorporated it and I can honestly say I have better protection from PayPal than I do my bank. Ebay and PayPal both got shady reputations because in the beginning, there was a lot of loose rules and it was almost like a craigslist auction. No real buyer or seller protection... But times have changed and I wouldn't hesitate recommending either one, PayPal or Ebay. |

In the instance your bank account gets accessed through PayPal, it's your responsibility to have your Bank cover the loss. PP must've changed their terms then. Back when I was setting up an account, when eBay had recently bought PP and was trying to force ALL transactions to be PP, I actually did read all the small print that I was going to agree to. And yes, I do indeed mean ALL. On the last screen before you accepted all terms and conditions, towards the bottom of all the legalese, that's where they snuck in the clause I mentioned. And I back-screened and deleted all my info, and have not opened a PP account. Not that I haven't used PP. You can still pay with a ccard through them without having an account. And their customer service folks are all lovely and very helpful. I don't doubt that they're probably as secure as any financial thing can be out there. But I still have never agreed to their terms and conditions. >'Kat |

I refuse to carry a card these days that does not offer text messages for any transaction on the card. Every time I use it, I get a text message saying the time/date and amount of the purchase. I can then go in any web browser and check who the transaction was to. I am instantly alerted to any activity on my card, and can dispute it instantly if necessary with a quick call. The only time I had a problem was on PayPal, but they immediately realized I was never in Penn, and reversed the charges immediately. I received the text messages about the activity at night, made calls as soon as I woke up, was resolved before I got to work.

I flatly refuse o us Paypal. The founder of www.paypalsucks.com is someone I knew personally...basically, they stole about $3000 from him and dared him to spend $4000 getting it back. |
