Update: Reply from ZipZap.
Question: How long will it take for my money to make it to the business or person that I sent it too. I know they are suppose to release what ever I purchased immediately, but I am thinking of adding ZipZap as a payment method and would like to know how long it would actually take for me to get my money from someone making a purchase.
Answer: 2-3 business days.
Lmao so BitInstant what is that lie number 7 so far!? You said you wouldn't receive any of our funds from zipzap payments for a week!! 2-3 business days, and a week are two totally different time periods. Could Bitinstant be holding our money till it finally clears into their accounts from ZipZap. It seems very plausible now. Goes to show you, we can't trust them for a honest answer...we have to go digging to find the truth.

notice how they address accusations but not questions.

as i stated in my latest email to support, i want you all to prevail. we've had a good relationship with no issues up to this point. you are my exclusive partner for acquiring coin. i need you to win to not cause myself to setup a new way to purchase btc.
but seriously, i know you have to be careful what you say for a variety of reasons.... but the lack of communication you spoke to on your blog in your most recent updates you said you would avoid the communication breakdown by using twitter. instead of the communication channel, i would concentrate on being more transparent. you could have addressed all the worries and not had to even show up on reddit (you shouldn't have to post on reddit) if you would have acknowledged the problems publicly via your blog as soon as you noticed them. are you telling me the entire staff wasn't aware of this long before the entire community called it out? on your launch day when every person is in the office watching?
we (and i speak for the majority of your clients) are quite forgiving, since software is unpredictable, when we feel we are being dealt with honestly. you'll probably still have my business because you have still earned it based on past dealings. but if i were a new customer and this happened..... i would be scared as hell to ever use you again. thank god i am registered so i can see my transactions pending. for those who didn't register, they must be going even crazier.
NOTE: which is even scarier when you are asking for trxn information publicly. there are hundreds of backed up orders like mine, from registered users that show the status of pending. basically anything pending for more than a few hours should be easily identified in most databases. i assume your staff is competent in this regard, so these issues should be easy to identify. meaning you have identified them, but you do not know why or choose to not say why they still sit there. i bet you mt gox could tell us within minutes why funds are not being transferred from you.

You didn't make one single announcement on your website at all during the two days of hundreds maybe even thousands of customers coming to your site thinking all was well. There is no excuse for shutting down the only area where coming customers could see there were issues, and not putting up a warning or shutting the terminal down temporarily. It is blatently obvious to your customers now, that we can not trust you to have our best interest or to be looking out for us with your business. You have lost trust, and now your loosing dependability, and respect. You did blame the customers "Ursey" Shall we go through your previous post?
There you lost respect. Dependability gone - going on three days with just excuses and no funds.

Gareth, could please let us know why the terminal was left up even after the first few hundred were complaining in Q&A and through emails about not receiving their funds in the 2 hour guarantee? Also, why there was no warning disclaimer placed on the site on day two since you disabled the Q&A from being a warning to new customers that their money would be being withheld due to technical issues? I believe out of everything, that really hurt your credibility the most with me and many others.
Since other orders WERE processing, and cash deposits soon started working too we decided not to disable new orders, if cash deposits had kept failing we would of course have disabled as we've had to do with other payment methods in the past when there have been problems (dwolla used to be terrible for this for example).
But i still have the screenshots from the first 16hrs of no orders going through. Everyone in Q&A stated no orders had went through. Day two still no orders were going through via zipzap, and have been in touch with zipzap on this discussion. They received as more complaints on day two than day 1. You disabled even being able to view Q&A and left the terminal open with no warning with over 24hrs of no successful cash deposit orders, hundreds of complaints, and without issuing one warning. It has made it appear that you were attempting to cover up having the issue, so that your business would continue making money off of new customers even though you were well aware that the cash deposits were going to be unsuccessful. I have the facts to support that.
"Everyone in Q&A stated no orders had went through."
Who is everyone?
"You disabled even being able to view Q&A"
Yes, customers were using this area to spread profanity across our public website. We'd prefer to keep our site family friendly.
"It has made it appear that you were attempting to cover up having the issue"
We are not covering anything up. We launched a beta website and it has bugs which need to be resolved.
Lame! Everyone as in the hundreds who had post of receiving no funds through zipzap!
You could of just deleted profane remarks, or put up a warning to new customers at the terminal before you completely closed any type of access to Q&A.
You did attempt to cover it up, or there would of been an official announcement on your site warning new customers of the issue.
You expect us to trust you when you have deceived us, lied to us, and even blamed us. Get real, if you had even a small competition right now your business would sink into the abyss. I and many others will be damn sure to check this forum and others before visiting your site, as you don't care one bit about informing or warning your customers,,....even your long term ones.
I kindly asked customers to stop using profanity on the Q&A section. This did not help so we shut Q&A down for now.
I never tried to blame any customers for the issues they are experiencing. I am only interested in solving customer issues and improving our service.
We've made many announcements regarding the current issues and it's quite obvious that we just launched a new beta website. I agree that things could of been handled better. We're now working to resolve any current issues and bring full functionality to the beta site.
URSAY maybe during this downtime while you're waiting to manually process orders you could take an English class. Maybe that would help with our "patients"

It appears that they don't even have access to the information from those orders... Great. No wonder they haven't started manually processing orders. They admit they don't even have the information to start manually processing orders. Doesn't sound like a hopeful situation to me.

June 13, 2013, 03:59:25 PM
