A tracking number needed to be submitted by 12/17. I got busy the day I shipped and forgot to upload the tracking. My package was received by them on 12/16. Now they are saying they won't pay me and want me to provide them w a label to send the items back to me. So basically I'm out $100 in shipping costs, and $250 in profits. FML

I know, I screwed up not uploading tracking, but FFS they received the package before the deadline to even send the item out.

edit: I know of about a dozen other buyers who sent them stuff (who didnt make an error like me) and BFMR is trying to reject their items incorrectly. BFMRs squeaky clean reputation is getting dragged through the mud rn for how they are handling their consoles.

Perhaps this doesn't belong on this forum but has anyone had issues with banks freezing shutting them down after depositing checks from BG's?
I've had no problem using Ally for a couple years and a few weeks ago they shut me down. So I opened Sofi, deposited a few checks and now SoFi account is frozen.
Did banks perhaps flag a group?
They don't say why. just "suspicious activity"
The only recent change I can think of is I used to only deposit from MYS, USA and PM. and this BF I added BFMR, EMB and TBD. .

Any recent DPs on payouts from PM? I know they're behind a bit. I think I'm going on 3 weeks since I requested payment.

Try Schwab Checking, I've been using them for a while with no problems and my check deposits become available very quickly.

I've seen discussion lately in a couple groups that I'm in of shutdowns. Apparently banks will shutdown personal accounts if there is too much business like activity. Best bet is to open a biz checking account and use that for check deposits and payment services (venmo, PP, ca, etc)

Either I'm messaging the wrong number or they're intentionally ignoring me. What number are you messaging?

I am interested too in knowing the number as I have nearly 5 packages unaccounted with them for since Nov 15th last year.

Interesting.
I don't have an actual "business" to open a business account.
How do ppl here open biz banking acct? are there legal or IRS ramifications with opening a biz account?

Chase was quite easy a few years ago. You just set it up with your Social as a Sole Proprietorship. It required me going to my local clerk and registering "my business" and then I was good to go. Cost maybe $15 and I can use the paperwork to apply for bank bonuses and easily make the money back. Biggest question they will ask is about how much business you will do in a year. 5K, 10K, 25K, etc.
