    Looks like it's gonna be another year where I'm glad not to cancel all of my 2019/20/21 BF Specials. :|

    I could not agree more. I kept 15 old BF VirBot deals again this year, and I picked up one new one during this sale. I don't need all of the old ones but I figure I will pass them on to somebody else when VirMach gets caught up and transfers are a thing again. They are just too good to let go.

    I snagged one of these. Seems to have been almost instant provisioning as well.
    Looking forward to test this when family/christmas stuff gets less time consuming ... ;)

    Seems it charged my PayPal twice, though ... What's the correct/best way to fix that?

    The second payment should end up as account credit. If that does not happen after a week or so comment here with invoice # and both PayPal transaction ids or if you did not want to wait fill out a billing ticket with the same info. I would also suggest trying to make it clear in the title of the ticket that it was regarding a double billing issue.

    @FrankZ thanks for the thread update. I just noticed it for the first time for some reason, not sure how long it's been like that. I'm going to send out our promo email to help bring customers to LES as well, and bringing back the BF customizer ( @Flying_Chinaman ) and BF specials in a couple hours and/or minutes.

    This most likely means some easter egg or manual flash offers, maybe, maybe not. Or more manual offers.

    I've been playing with your OP since early today. I only added the main offers about six hours ago. I just wanted to get the display down for the previous offers, and wanted to make a few updates to the extra sections that had changed from April, like IPv6.

    Thank you for promoting LES, we will be standing by to approve all those new members. :)
    Please send me what ever you want to post to the OP and I will make the changes for you.

    Honestly what you did is probably just a cleaner version of what I'd do, we'll just go based off that.

    Since your here.. PayPal did seem to be an option when I purchased my recent flash sale VPS. There has also been one report of PayPal double charging.

    1. If people are double charged will this automatically be turned into account credit ?
    2. If so how long should I advise them to wait for the charge to turn into account credit before they comment here or fill out a billing ticket ?
    3. If a billing ticket is required, what do you want the title to say so that you can easily identify them ?
    4. If a billing ticket is required I will advise them to include invoice # and both PayPal transaction ID #. Is there anything else that should be included in this ticket ?
  • All reported PayPal double payments so far outside of any that were related to mass pay have been either definitely user error or unproven to be any sort of "bug." I think what was happening though was an error coming up and they'd just pay it again or maybe pressing back.

    System usually auto credits on double payments. If it's a triple payment it doesn't credit and if it's store credit/adding funds it doesn't always auto credit AFAIK.

    Billing department is the right way to get a resolution. Double payment or whatever for title, and include invoice ID and both transaction IDs from PayPal as well as description of how it happened.

    I think one common case of double payment can happen when PayPal billing agreement is set up, and the user still clicks the PayPal checkout button that the VirMach site shows while the automatic payment is being processed. It seems to trigger the payment twice (or maybe even more times if clicked again and again?).

    It is a little bit confusing that the button still appears there given how long the automatic payment process takes. I can imagine people without experience with this clicking it because they either think it is part of the normal payment process or because they think, maybe a little impatiently, and despite the animated bar showing, that the whole process perhaps got stuck.
