sorry, My bank lets me throw my money in whatever black hile I like
<DocScrutinizer05>
hole even
<DocScrutinizer05>
as long as it's under the money laundering threshold
<DocScrutinizer05>
CC payments are another story
<wpwrak>
"just say no to nanny banks" :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
and about direct debit (assuming you mean "bankeinzug"), it's actually not possible to cancel that when you gave an explicit qualified withdrawal permission. Just like you can't call back money transfers
<DocScrutinizer05>
which makes me kinda nervous, regarding what PP could do to a bank account
<wpwrak>
if you've granted a permission, maybe cancel it ?
<saper>
paypal is not using any "qualified withdrawal permission"
<saper>
you should be nervous about anybody knowing your bank account #, not just PP

Einer SEPA-Basislastschrift kann innerhalb von acht Wochen nach Kontobelastung widersprochen werden, so dass der Belastungsbetrag wieder gutgeschrieben wird.
<wpwrak>
saper: i think joerg can do the standard SEPA revocations by now in his sleep. blindfolded. with both hands tied between his back. and the PC in a different room.
<saper>
:)
<DocScrutinizer05>
saper: honestly, no news you're telling
<ZetaR1>
Paypal isn't a bank, it's a money transmitter (under many US state laws, anyway). AFAICT, they aren't allowed to hold funds like they are doing.
ZetaR1 is now known as ZetaR
<DocScrutinizer05>
btw "eight weeks" is some semi-hoax by the banks, actually rollback of *illegal* SEPA withdrawals are not time-limited at all
<DocScrutinizer05>
ZetaR: yes. That's allegedly also the reason why they must not and thus do not offer interest
<ZetaR>
In my state (Florida), they are allowed to hold funds for up to 10 days.
<DocScrutinizer05>
there's also no "einkagensicherung" at PayPal
<ZetaR>
business days*
<DocScrutinizer05>
Einlagensicherung
<DocScrutinizer05>
(insurance against PP bankruptcy)
<DocScrutinizer05>
so actually PP was in for protection by reserve on their own account according to PPs own rules
<ZetaR>
There are a number of places (at least in the US) that have local laws which would require Paypal to make the funds available to you.
<ZetaR>
The page I linked to has the hold period, a link to the state code, and contact information for the agency that regulates money transmitters in that state..

Stupid dynamic content.

Why don't people like plain HTML/CSS anymore?

why make it simple and robust when it can be fancy and unreliable ? :)

wpwrak: Do you use Noscript/Requestpolicy? I am often amazed and the tangled mess of nested JS dependencies that many sites have.
<ZetaR>
The higher profile ones have literally dozens, if not a hundred domains they are using scripts from.
<wpwrak>
ZetaR: no, i don't use any overly aggressive web perversion suppression. note: that paypal link works for me. it was saper who mentioned "404"

ZetaR: (lots of scripts) you mean for ads and tracking ? yeah, i keep a lush /etc/hosts for that ...
<ZetaR>
wpwrak: IMO you really need at least a whitelist for the modern web, preferably whitelist + blacklist + behavior based blocking.

what i have seems to work well enough so far. when a site slows to a crawl because the advertizers get too greedy, i toss them into /etc/hosts (as 127.0.0.1, of course). that keeps things bearable.
<wpwrak>
plus, it works across all browsers
sparetire_ has quit [Quit: sparetire_]
<Oksana>
Is it possible to put "none" instead of "127.0.0.1" into /etc/hosts ? So that it would not even try to resolve them?
<wpwrak>
heh, that would be a fun feature :)
<wpwrak>
make it [fail], so it's not a valid host name
<wpwrak>
would make a nice april 1st I-D, as update to RFC952 (with a nod to RFC1123)

ok, now I need to ask you all to send a email to paypal, ideally with conent similar to the fine template edwin provided in https://paste.debian.net/hidden/7489ac0f/
<DocScrutinizer05>
my lawyer sent a Fax to PayPal, but she didn't comment on the emails, so I think there can't be much wrong with them, and for sure it will help PayPal to learn a lot of our customers consider Neo900 UG a crowdfunding based project and want their payment released to the company

edwin: what exactly means " *NEO900UGHAF, <NUMBER> GBR;"
<DocScrutinizer05>
whe have a hard time parsing/understanding the "<number> GBR" part
<DocScrutinizer05>
we*
<DocScrutinizer05>
note that we have no PP payment to Neo900 UG from our own PP account for reference
<edwin>
it is what I got on my b ank statement
<DocScrutinizer05>
ooh on BANK statement, we should refer to PP account
<edwin>
on paypal account I got the unique transaction #
<DocScrutinizer05>
thanks :-)
<edwin>
Jun 23, 2015 00:28:44 PDT | Transaction ID: 9WJ09157XN335531Y
<edwin>
something like that
<saper>
wpwrak: I am using privoxy to filter out ads and switch to tor when needed, unfortunately the whole "HTTPS everywhere" trend is against me
<DocScrutinizer05>
also doesn't PP regularly send a "payment notification" email?
<edwin>
I got the receipt
<edwin>
Receipt for Your Payment to Neo900 UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes, that one :-)
<edwin>
it has the transaction id too
<edwin>
or if you go to account history and expand the range
<DocScrutinizer05>
I guess we can consider this a common denominator for all customers paying with PP
<edwin>
quoting that GBR thing from the bank statement is probably not needed
<edwin>
mind you I didn't get any reply (besides the automated one) from paypal yet
sparetire_ has joined #neo900
<edwin>
the automated reply is something like Questions About Your Payment Status VV44REXGE (KMM88672945V60476L0KM) :ppEU
<DocScrutinizer05>
(added red to variable "<paypal email addr>")
<edwin>
you post that to tmo or the neo900 blog?
<DocScrutinizer05>
edwin: no problem with typos, we have our spellcheckers for this :-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
tmo
<edwin>
might be useful to post a link to TMO as well
<edwin>
err from the uBlog to TMO
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes, we need additional action to make this public
<DocScrutinizer05>
prolly even send an email to all our customers
<timclassic>
DocScrutinizer: I haven't followed this issue completely here in IRC--should we each check our payments?
<DocScrutinizer05>
not much use in "checking", they will all be "completed" status. However please send a mail to PP when you did a PP payment to Neo900 UG during last 8 months
<DocScrutinizer05>
to help others about the very issue of webform vs decent true email
<DocScrutinizer05>
we very much need some feedback about how many customers actually contacted PP

done
<timclassic>
DocScrutinizer05: I ended up getting an automated response from PayPal, probably based on the topic/sub-topic chosen. "Thanks for your email. Based on your selection, we are sending you some details about payment statuses. If you require additional information, please reply to this message or contact us at 1-888-221-1161." Then a huge list of bullet points.
<DocScrutinizer05>
first line of defense :-)
<timclassic>
DocScrutinizer05: I Bcc'd you on my response, so you should see their response as well.

unsure my response to PP from the web page made it. Even though my privacy plugins indicate I have all the content, layout is so terrible that I cannot see much. Will keep an eye on it.
