Paypal - Fee Reversal From Cancelled Fee - Cheating?! New Way of Making Money?!

Posted on July 5th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Computer / IT.

Paypal is cheating AGAIN! This time is the CANCELLED FEE!

When you cancel a payment made by someone to you, which you DO NOT want to accept or decided to refund the money, PayPal starting from DON’T KNOW WHEN will charge you a “Cancelled Fee”, which is equivalent to the exact commission that the payee paid to you! So, although you do not receive any payment at the end, you will still be charged for the MONEY! PayPal wins and takes your money no matter what!

I received no email notification of that policy change, and I remember clearly that refund of money to payee used to be FREE within the grace period (60 days). I am shocked when I checked my PayPal account just now, which the so called CANCELLED FEE in every refund that I made to my customers starting from June 2009!

PayPal, really sucks!

Gate Light

Posted on June 20th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: House Reno.

This is what I bought for my gate and fence. Gate is bigger than fence.

Quite modern look, actually quite headache choosing the preferred light. I think this one is acceptable.

Big one is RM88, small one is RM78. Add extra RM10 for the light bulb inside.

Water Filter System - PureGen UF-2000 (Genuine California product?)

Posted on June 19th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Rojak.

I bought a water filter system for my house - Puregen UF-2000.

This is how the produt looks like:

I think it is made in Malaysia, the PureGen logo is just a translucent sticker pasted onto the stainless steel, not direct printing like in the picture above.

I checked Puregen.com website, no information about Malaysia distributor, and I can’t find the above model as well. I have sent them an email inquiry, will see if this is truly a California USA product or not.

How much I paid? RM1200 before installation.

(There is a longer model, UF-2500.)

PayPal Fee Changed but never inform users!

Posted on June 14th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Computer / IT.

Only last night that I noticed that PayPal has changed their fee structure by imposing fee to all PERSONAL ACCOUNT now for receiving money. It used to be FREE for personal account to receive money, but no more now.

PayPal NEVER inform their members about the change of fee structure. I googled around and noticed complaints from many for such change without informing them. What a shame for PayPal to secretely put fee to Personal Account but never inform their customers.

When checking the Fee Policy page, Singapore is still listed as ZERO fee for personal account receiving money from ready PayPal fund. However, that is NOT TRUE (should I call it a LIE?!). You can see their fee policy at (login required):

https://www.paypal.com/row/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_fees

Here’s the print screen of the Personal Account fee structure:

Again, what a shame for PayPal such a big company to change their fee policy without informing their customers, and also telling LIE as what stated on their Fee Policy page.

Indonesian Workers Got Cheated by Money Changer in Jaya Jusco, Taman Universiti, Skudai, Johor

Posted on June 7th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Rojak.

Only recently did I know that many foreign workers use money changer to send money back to their home country.

Few weeks ago, the Indonesian workers working on my house got cheated by the money changer located inside Jaya Jusco, Taman Universiti, Skudai, Johor. The money changer is just next to the ATM machines.

Below is the story that was being told by them and their boss to me.

The four Indonesian workers use to send money (total RM4200.00) back to their home country using money changer in Kuala Lumpur, so far so good. As they have been working here in Johor for a month+, they plan to send money back to their family in Indonesia. Their boss brought them to the money changer in Jusco, thought that it should be safe like in KL. A day after they sent the money, their family in Indonesia still haven’t received. So they went to question the money changer. The money changer said that they admit that they have to wait till month end to gain interest (which I think illogic as normally interest is counted as minimum amount in a month, you can’t get interest from just a few days saving.). The money changer told the Indonesians tha he will pay them back the money on 1st June 2009. The money changer even gave them a handphone number of “said his boss” to talk to. Also trying to convince them that they all are of the same religion, so will not cheat.

On 1st June, the Indonesian workers went to Jusco to seek the money. Shockingly, the money changer counter is CLOSED at 12.30pm when they reached there.  They tried to call also nobody picking up the phone. When they called the money changer so called boss, he did pick up the phone and said that he already instructed and gave the money to the money changer there. Then hang up.

When inquired the staffs at Jusco, they said the counter has been closed since yesterday, and the money changer guy came yesterday briefly and then closed shop. The money changer did not inform Jusco management that they are closing down. There have been a few inquiries from some Vietnamese, possibily got cheated too (I guessed).

A police report has been made, but not sure how this thing can be solved or the money can even be gotten back. Today is already 07 June 2009 and the money changer counter is still closed (I went to check yesterday).

It is a pity that they Indonesian workers have work so hard for the money, but got cheated by those poor soul money changer.

The Indonesian workers have to send money to their hometown family, so they used a safe method this time, Western Union and CIMB Bank. Not much money this time, as most have already been cheated (the RM4200.00).

Hope the police can get the cheater, since it is a registered company and I believe Jusco management should have all the details/info.

Nikon SB-800 Speedlight Repaired

Posted on June 6th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Photography.

My technician repaired my faulty Nikon SB-800 speedlight. The LCD panel of my SB-800 is not functioning, no word being shown.

The SB-800 has been serving me for nearly 4 years, and I bought it used for less than RM800 4 years ago. The backlight on the LCD panel was not working during the day I bought it, I did not realize it until a later date, but still it serves nicely. Now after the back panel completely gone, it was time for replacement of the LCD panel, and it is nice to have the backlight on the LCD panel, as I have in some cases needed to check the flash setting at night that I can’t.

Good to see the LCD panel backlight:

As usual, Lambency on my SB-800 99% of the time.

Happy Birthday to my Megumi!

Posted on June 6th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.

Next Saturday, 14th June 2009, is the 2 years old birthday of my Megumi.

Sadly, I can’t celebrate with her, as she is with her mother in Perak and I have lots of work this coming week and next week.

Went out to buy a present for my baby…

What’s inside? Haha…I will let Megumi open it first before revealing.

Here’s a message for Megumi, she might not be able to read or understand now, but I hope she will read this blog when she grows up.

May God protect her, guide her, lead her, save her. In Jesus Christ’s name I prayed, amen.

Cost of Built in Furniture?

Posted on June 6th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: House Reno.

Today I asked a designer of a nearby furniture maker to come to my house to do some quotations of built in furniture cost of my house.

Basically below are what I plan to do:

• Living Room TV Rack and Backdrop
• Kitchen Sliding Door (my door is 4 feet, which is too heavy if using wood as according to the designer, so he suggested aluminum with glass.)
• Kitchen U shape cupboard (up and down)
• Master Bedroom Cupboard
• Master Beedroom TV Rack + Backdrop
• Master Bedroom Bed+Floor
• 1st Room Upstairs Cupboard (I did ask roughly the cost, which is over RM3k for a sliding door type. Wah…expensive leh…can buy full set of bed + cupboard already and still some money left!)

Built in furniture is really expensive. My budget is not more than RM40k for the above, hopefully can do. Will get a quotation first before deciding (might cut here and there…most probably the last item).
