@VirMach said: @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.
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.
If people are double charged will this automatically be turned into account credit ?
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 ?
If a billing ticket is required, what do you want the title to say so that you can easily identify them ?
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.
On the subject of AMSD025, load went down to ~10 at about 15:20 UTC, Dec 26 and got back to the abnormal state of 30+ at around 16:00 UTC.
(Screen shot was taken earlier just after load went up again)
Currently steal time is notable in my vm bouncing between 0.x to above 5.

Hi, @VirMach Happy to see you with these great deals and sales. Any plans for biennial or triennial plans in this ongoing sales? Looking for something to replace my 4c 8gb ram 150gb nvme EU (65$) with (very) much less annual recurring cost.

Honestly what you did is probably just a cleaner version of what I'd do, we'll just go based off that.
VirtBot should release more killing deals
Is it mandatory? Or just an alternative way to make the process smoother?
The OP is still in the process of being updated.

I thought it was rather quiet in this thread but it seems that there are some lurkers.

@VirMach
i use paypal payment lost .
i use VPN , so i reply Ticket #427154
Could you please restore the order and pay again?
@VirMach hi Vir, I purchased 2 accounts before, how can I push them to my own account?
Not really sure what you are saying but I will guess and you correct me where I am wrong.
You purchased using a VPN and your order was marked as fraud or for review. A ticket #427154 was generated by the system and you answered the ticket.
You wish to have the order restored to pending and if not actually paid already you will pay for it once restored.
You paid with PayPal, but it does not show paid.
( Have you checked that PayPal shows that the money was taken from your account ? )

Wait a minute. Didn't you say on Oct 27th that you did not have any purchased accounts ?
Why wait until the middle of a sale to bring this up ? You know VirMach will not have time for this now.
