I'm with you there, seems a bit shady when PayPal transaction clears way before shipping is even confirmed. I'm afraid my order will be in "awaiting fulfillment" limbo for awhile. IMHO if only I'd registered on these message boards earlier, I would be saving myself the buyers remorse I feel now. Give the guy credit, he sold me. No one forced me to click confirm order. Even after reading the oddly-worded buying, then waiting, then shipping arrangement, I still followed through, perhaps blinded by the hype extolled on said site. I got sold. Well bright side Lad/KBitOwner, at least you took me for only $140, not a $60K Mercedes E-class. Lesson learned: dont get sold by hype, seller exclusivity, over-the-top product raving reviews, videos w/ low production values, & the time-tested sham of manipulating supply & demand levels/creating scarcity, increasing perceived value. Snake oil takes different forms throughout the ages.
