Hi, Yes I have heard of that. However 6% is robbery. Usually the max that they pay is 3% and that is high. American Express does charge more though, some thing like 5%. Still most companies roll that into the cost of doing business. Scott

I keep hearing that the vendor of the product paid for by credit card has to pay a certain percentage of the purchase price to the credit card company. In fact, I bought a new computer a month ago, a real lemon, and the vendor charged me six percent of the purchase price so he wouldn't have to pay the credit card company out of his profit. Now, how about that? Have you ever heard of anybody else doing that? Dick Myers From: "Sarai D.

Think of all the interest someone is making off that money for almost 6 months, and think of all the interest and use of that money you have lost. From what I have read on this list, the forced purchase of the intermediate software is unfair. Also, from reading all the problems people are having with 6.1, it is beginning to look as if we all are beta testers for a hastily cobbled together system. I hope I am wrong here. I was wrong when I offered to convert audio tapes to Braille-readable text because suddenly everyone found the instructions in text somewhere in their instruction CDs. Perhaps I will be wrong again when users suddenly discover that they were just not reading the instructions correctly.

Not being told that 6.1 lacked the ability to allow one to use their superdisk drive. 3. the fact that 6.1 lacks bluetooth support. 4. that PDI chose not to inform people of these things when and where they occurred. 5. the lack of communications between PDI and it's customers. I would've contested the charge to my credit card immediately! You don't charge me until you ship the goods, otherwise I contest! I certainly don't understand these issues. Now I know why people are anxious about their upgrades arriving! they've been charged! I believe the list deserves explanations of these tactics. thank you.
