    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    Methinks thou art articulating it precisely accurately! I have been wanting to stop barking about this now for a while and so I shall! /me goes to his kennel to nap... :coffee:

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    You are quite right, I do not deal with this stuff in depth myself because I am a network engineer and a forensic investigator/analyst by profession. I have been coding since I was eight years old (that makes it thirty years now this year that I have been coding) and I write my own software on...

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    Hi Nick, I realize that you have to attempt to promote and maintain a sparkling image for LP here on your other social media platforms and the fact that you have been responding here tells me that you are doing what you are supposed to be doing and I thank you for that. Please understand that...

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    Go troll somewhere else please... I don't care wether you think I have a "somewhat weird concern". As for your implied ad-hominem of being the pig in question in your statement, in as nice a way as possible that I know how to say this, I repeat, go troll somewhere else please... :dork2:

    And Wells Fargo is wrong too? Nice. LP is the merchant. The merchant can request the hold to be "settled" or cancelled. Paypal is just another payment processor just like Authorize.net, Amazon and whoever else. They all work the same way. Stop hiding behind PayPal. This is a severely broken...

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    As much as I hate referring to Wikipedia as a source they do explain it pretty clearly: "Authorization hold (also card authorization, preauthorization, or preauth) is the practice within the banking industry of authorizing electronic transactions done with a debit card or credit card and holding...

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    I am entirely accepting of the fact that this could very well have been a PayPal issue which might also explain why the authorization vanished after I submitted a report to PayPal about this. While I have never had this problem using PayPal on other orders with other vendors with much larger...

    Folding ScubaPro Evertec Drysuit for Transport

    I need some advice on properly folding the ScubaPro Evertec Drysuit for transport. My previous drysuit had a rear zip going horizontally across my shoulders and "rolling" the suit up from the feet towards the neck provided good thickness for the zip to bend over when I folded the arms over the...

    Yep, I discovered exactly that when I tried to phone them.

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    I agree with you in principle and normally don't use it unless it's some obscure online vendor I don't necessarily trust. I actually do not know why I used PayPal in the first place for this transaction. However, in this case I suspect that my report of the problem to PayPal is what might have...

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    This has exactly been my experience as well. I have never seen this absurd idea of placing the authorization/hold *plus* the charges with the authorization/hold then "falling off" 7 business days later. The authorization always disappears at the same time when the charges are confirmed...

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    UPDATE: I received a phone call this morning from Leisurepro. The person told me that this issue was escalated to him for resolution and insisted that they do not double-charge. Let me be clear about this whole thing, I agree that I might not have been double-charged in the traditional sense of...

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    UPDATE: In the interests of keeping everyone updated on the status of my original gripe that precipitated this thread about LP - I checked and the authorization for $463.15 has suddenly disappeared overnight from my account. I do not know if this had something to do with my complaint with the...

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    I am sorry, this is not standard procedure that I have encountered before. I have been buying online with PayPal, Amazon, LeisurePro, ScubaToys etc. etc. for years and I have never, not once had this situation arise. Like I said in a previous post, my purchases on Amazon normally are authorized...

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    The payment was handled through Paypal which might be why the LP agent on the phone said this will take 7 business days and perhaps not just 3 to 5, who knows. I stayed on hold to try and get to PayPal Customer Service this morning too but eventually hung up when I was on the phone for an hour...

    LeisurePro's Charging Policy Stinks!

    I purchased two new items from LeisurePro over the past weekend that totaled $463.15. Looking at my bank statement this morning I noticed the following charges: 09/01 $463.15 09/03 $213.20 09/03 $249.95 I phoned LP and was told that their standard policy is to place an authorization for the...

    Mask drill - eyes open or eyes closed?

    Well then you're a lucky one I guess :coffee: The only time I ever had major problems with opening my eyes underwater was when I did my DM and we spent almost 6 hours in the pool doing stress tests (we had a wannabe Navy Seal jack@$$ for an instructor with delusions of grandeur and that I have...

    Mask drill - eyes open or eyes closed?

    Mine don't sting either while they are in direct contact with the water but they do start stinging a bit for a little while after I have replaced and cleared my mask. Do yours not have any irritation when the mask is back on and cleared?

    Mask drill - eyes open or eyes closed?

    I agree that opening eyes is perhaps not a _skill_ in the same category as a regulator recovery or fin pivot. However, some people do find the burning sensation of salt water in the eyes after they replace the mask and only managed to partially clear the mask by the first attempt to be an...
