    Why is it that both you, your friend and Todd have never heard of transferring PayPal funds to expense accounts/keeping cashflow/liquidity for shipment? No matter what you say, he was ill-prepared since Dragon Soul. Maybe he thought since OESB had slowed to a trickle in terms of release schedule that he would expect slow and steady sales or something? That's the most benefit of the doubt I can give the guy.

    Again, for the record, I first paid him on January 28th, 2017. Check that with the two replies above me and tell me again about how horrible PayPal is when Todd had just about 15 months to transfer that money to a safe and secure bank account. Dying to see what other excuse you got for the guy.

    Just a head up, Dillo, that it wasn't me who peed in your Wheaties this morning.  I'm not making any excuses for OESB. The first and last sentences of my post make it both pretty clear how I think OESB has handled this and that my friend's Paypal experience was not necessarily reflective of OESB's. The only thing I took any umbrage with was a post, that in fairness I neglected to quote, that indicated the release was not legitimate. That's all. The Paragraph about the PayPal freeze thing is just an anecdote that came into my purview after OESB used it as one of their excuses so I thought it was an interesting one to pass along. I'd never heard of it before. Just engaging in discourse; not litigating a vaportrial.

     

    Again, I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT OESB, but, in my friend's instance, his label's PayPal account was frozen during the first few hours of the album dropping. That in essence froze the incoming cash of those who'd already purchased and kept would-be purchasers from being able to complete any transactions. In this case, there was never any meaningful opportunity to access those funds for a transfer. That said, they had it cleared up in about a week though it was quite a cluster. 

     

    If it'll make you feel better, I'll curse and slander a bit more in my subsequent posts so as to remove any ambiguity.

    History of Jade Tree?

     

    One of the greatest record labels of all time that just succumbed to the pressures of the modern age of people not caring about records or labels that put out records and went under. Epitaph bought rights to their entire catalog(digital and physical). 

    Less what I meant.

    I should have asked Dave to elaborate. He's not going around saying "fuck those guys" for nothing.

    They probably owed him some money that he'll never get now that they're done.

    Reasonable guess.

    Indeed, but a very nice person.

    I remember reading about it when I was in a Monty Python Obsessive phase, they come and go...I recently finished a Red Dwarf Phase, but I need to finish series 9-12....then I can be done till the next one....

     

    My copy of it has the jiggy.

     

     

    I remember seasons 9 and 10 being a bit trying, but seasons 11 and 12 have recaptured enough of that magic to be a lot of fun.

    To say that dude's not handling things great seems an understatement, but the release not being legit? I'm fairly certain that's bs. If OESB had to pull Mac Plus, then they'd've had to pull Tanning Salon as well. Which they haven't.

     

    Also, just as general info since I'd never heard of it before, the Paypal freeze is real. Happened to a friend's label a couple of weeks back with their fifth release. All five promoted, launched, bought, and shipped the exact same way through the exact same website. They spent hours with different Paypal customer service agents and never got any real explanation.  Now, I have no idea about OESB's circumstances, but this has caused real problems for my friend.
