If the OP were running an entirely legitimate business, they would have no issue revealing what product they are selling. They clearly do not want us to know what that product is. This is no doubt because we would have no sympathy for them if we knew.

That being the case, I'm calling bullshit.

LOL buddy where I come from you don't disclose an extremely profitable niche on a public forum online where the majority of the community is familiar with ecommerce and business online is general. I'm not saying what I sell because I don't need 10 more competitors. What I sell is 100% legit, it's been approved on Paypal, it sells by the thousands daily on both Amazon and Ebay.

This particular public forum also has a lot of people who know that a lot of "100% legit" digital-only crap sold on Amazon and eBay is anything but. Does that describe your product? Only grandma knows...

It's a physicial product with proof of tracking shipped from the USA man. It's an accessory that retails in countless physical stores. You're just trying to find a way to delegitimize my story and that's fine but it would be nicer if you asked questions instead of just calling bullshit with no back up.

Can you give us an idea of what type of accessory it is? Or at least, what are the concerns you had about quality? Is this something you have commissioned a manufacturer to build? Is it a dodgy supplement with claims that aren't backed up by science?

It's also a business he no longer wants to deal with. But he still doesn't want to share it 'for reasons'.

Also, at a 2%+ dispute rate he'd probably get shutdown on any other payment platform as well.

I'm also inclined to believe there is a lot more BS going around.
