Demanding updates isn't going to expedite this process any quicker.
Has anyone bit the bullet and ordered a single diode albeit risky?

It's also possible these diodes were smuggled out. I've been to seedy electronic markets in Bangkok & Tokyo.. I'd believe it...
The seller might not genuinely know the PayPal/eBay protection rules.
Idk, speculation

Minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 10 pieces, so a $750 biting of the bullet if we let someone else do it. No sense in getting multiple parties involved.

This is exactly why I didn't want people contacting the companies that make these diodes, that could end poorly if these are actually legitimate, and our prodding caused the source to dry up.

Im sure Jordan will post when he gets the package before he has it all unpacked. Lets chill. This reminds me of high school waiting for the guy to reup. Lol the good ol days �� I'm a laser addict and i have a problem. The whole idea of smuggling diodes is so funny to me. I imagine some shady situation where its like "I've got 445's and 520's now, but i might have found a source of 488's fresh off the boat from Bangkok, primo." IDK its funny to me I'm cracking up.

Uh-oh, not looking good. :(

How long are you prepared to wait before filing a claim?

Not the best outcome so far. What is the window for PayPal disputes? Since your agent has been working with you on this, do you think she'd be willing to stretch the rules a bit? $750 in the black, I assume, isn't a terrible dent for someone as established as you are. However, it's about the principle...

Holy s*** I just spit my beer. That was good, I love this type of cynical dark humor.

Recently I was getting directions somewhere, and someone said "the next turn, there's a split in the road." Without missing a beat, "split huh? Just like my parents." The contrast of my snorting laughter to the dead silence of the remaining passengers just made it better.

Have you tried calling them up Jordan? They have a number listed on their website. Maybe if you gave them a call they would be more responsive.

:crackup: lmao cheers, I'll have to use that one too. I actually had to define 'dark humour' in English the other day, so I used the classic "Dark humour is like food; not everyone gets it".

Again, sorry Jordan for how this has turned out. I appreciate you taking the risk, as do the rest of us.

This reminds me of when I bought a Colt's jersey way back in middle school. I ordered it off of ebay from china or something and it took about 12 weeks to arrive, but it did arrive. I would wait until the last day that paypal says you can get a refund.

Any updates? Good, bad, or ugly?

I'm not expecting diodes at this point, but I at least want to make sure all parties are being held equally accounted for.
