I got the same western union nonsense when asking for the 6k
so I wrote to Yahoo (the spam contact) also pointing to this thread.

Deals and Great Z Buys / Sl-6000l On Amazon For $300 Right Now!

Will it be possible for us as a group to pressurize Amazon to sell us Z6Ks at least at their advertised lowest price ($379)? How many ZUGers would be willing to go for that price?

I think it`s hard to get a gadget to low price
without units in stock  

but to use f1oyd1an words

"ripped by jpettins dude
hunting for a z6k"

also at 379,-

That means he did indeed go over his limit.

@blackspion  They shouldn't have told you it was a problem with your credit card.  International cards work fine, and the e-mail you recieved was the standard one for seller over limit instead of the standard unable to charge your credit card.

Hi gretchen,
thanks - that has been the information I was missing
seems my order has been one of the last

So, Ive spoken to my bank.
amazon.com asked for the money at dec 2nd and got
a transaction-id, this id ist still valid, so if they wants to they still
could get the money  
I asked jpettins 14 hours befor the order if he could deliver to
germay directly maybe he saw my order and rejects cause
fearing some trouble with german banks, I don`t know how
the payment/getting money really works for sellers at amazon marketplace.
But this order is getting more and more sensless, why amazon
is canceling an order with valid payment, Ill aks them later this day.
So now trying to earn some more money for new gadgets

Just saw this in another thread: Link

rustrated with amazon.com (placed my Order for the $300 offer, they confirmed and
canceled 2 hours later, don`t know why mad.gif )

This was posted on the 3rd. So Amazon probably identified the problem then.

Hi,
me again  
wizzard asked for the details

I´ve ordered the unit at 2nd. Dec. 16.01 (PST? don´t know whicht time amazon uses)
and got an auto confirmation about the unit. So this has been at 11 PM at GMT i`d
gone to bed. Next morning my order has been canceled 2 hours later cause of

"Your order included the following items:

1 of Sharp Zaurus SL-6000L Handheld [Electronics]

On occasion, an Amazon Marketplace purchase cannot be completed.

In this case, the seller is currently unable to accept payment."

I used a U.S. delivery adress and a german credit card earlier used
for amazon.de and a flower shop in the U.S. (via phone)

asked amazon via mail later for the reasons of canceling.
They told something about problems to charge my card and that they
sent me a mail for resubmitting payment. Never got any other mail
and at amazon.coms webpage there is something written about
reacting within 3 days and not 2 hours.

So if I get time I´ll call my bank and ask for the problems of the
deal.

So I don`t think amazon has any idea of getting in trouble with the
seller, maybe a communication problem with the bank or something
else.

Sorry for can`t giving any further hints

Well... even if you were just thinking about it.... you might call up amazon... or email their customer service and say...
"Yanno, I have been thinking about making an electronics purchase here, but I've been hearing reports of members being victimized by cybercrimes..... what do you guys do to find and punish these criminals and prevent further crimes?"
or something like that.
the more the merrier..and the porelikley something will come of this.

Hi,
Im reading this thread since beginning and have seen it grown
 

Here my 2ct

I had ordered the SL at $300 cause I missed the 380 offer
but only ordered at someone I didn`t know anything about
cause of the good reputation and specially the A-to-z Guarantee
from amazon.com.

The second reason has been the easy way to do the payment
using my credit card to pay at a privat persons offer
no Western Union, Moneyorder or anything else

So crying "victims, shoot the gangsters.." an so on can`t be the way,
reading the posts amazon offers earlier payback than the 30 days
even if it`s not clear what`s going on shows to me that amazon
is quite a fair partner in shopping.
So let them time to do their job, they ore their insurance have to
pay the bill

Victims of a crime are IMHO people that have been harder hit
for their health or money.

We tried a game - the trophy has been a cheap gadget - the only risk
a little bit of frustration and our money for a short period not in our pocket.
So what.  

I got a little bit more lucky cause the payment with my german credit card
doesn`t work for this deal (nobody could explain that to me until now)

 kind regards
