I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.
I have been using all of these the last 2 years and I will update what other people have started along with some tools on how to buy on multiple accounts if people want this info. This is just a quick first draft. I will clean up and add more details.
please dont .... up the work I will put into this. please message me and I can add more data and I have more buying groups that I can add

More of a vent than anything. BFMR is really pissing me off. They were buying Switch OLEDs for the best price about a month ago. I shipped my OLEDs on my own dime from Alaska. 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. .

Ok good to know. I use ACH too. Hopefully mine is coming soon.
Update: After responding I checked my PM account. Finally shows updated processing/sent amount. So should get it in the bank soon.

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)
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?

They'll respond to other tickets but for lost packages they just have 2 generic responses. 1st asking for Proof of purchase and delivery and then "Your case will be worked on shortly."
Then they ignore. so far it's been a month

Business
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.

Personally, I keep Chase (or any bank I care for) far away from Buying Groups. too much value in their CC products to risk being shut down.

USA Buying Group send me and email that my package (delivered in early Dec) was rejected because of damaged items. The package contained 2 different items (1 tablet and 12 Roku sticks) so I asked them exactly which item needs to be returned. No replies.
Walmart's return window closes tomorrow, what should I do? I've let them know multiple times about the time constrain of returning the items but still no updates to the ticket.
