Re: [MBZ] OT - paypal escrow?

Here’s what I do to prevent that from happening:

I have a separate checking account I use for nothing but online purchases.  
It’s linked to my PP account and funded by me electronically when I buy 
something through a transfer from another account at my credit union. If I 
receive payment via PayPal, I immediately transfer the money out of the account.

No CCs linked to the account, either.

So in a situation like yours, PP can come back all they want, but the well is 
dry.  I actually had this happen on an eBay sale a few years back, I don’t 
recall the exact details, but it was after they changed their policies to 
become buyer centric.  I think it was a for a part off my W140 S500 coupe.  The 
buyer screwed up and realized he bought the wrong part - it was a window 
regulator for a W140 coupe, which are stupid expensive.  Mine was for the 
passenger door, and they needed a driver’s door regulator.

It was probably a couple of months after the auction when it came up, and I was 
caught totally off guard by it.  I had disclaimered the crap out of the 
auction, so it was tough beans for the buyer.  They cried big tears to both 
PayPal and eBay, saying the auction description was incorrect (it wasn’t.)  I 
pulled a copy of the auction, a screen shot of the EPC with the correct part 
number and description, presented it for the dispute on file and told both 
parties to piss off.

Two days later I get an email from eBay saying they’re suspending my accounts, 
as they tried to ding my PP account for the return and it came up dry. I told 
them that was fine with me, as I wasn’t returning the money.

Never heard a word after that.  About a month later my accounts were 
mysteriously reactivated.

Just for grins I asked my credit union about this kind of stuff.  They just 
said that if there’s no money in the account and it’s not linked to other 
accounts for overdraft protection if someone presents a transaction for payment 
they just deny it.  No harm no foul for the account holder.

I had PP delay payment.  I don't remember the details, but I was 
miffed.  I also sold a very expensive burner safety control for cheap 
and the sandrat (in the US) buyer tried on fleabay to claim it was no 
good a couple months later.  Buy could provide no proof it was

later, Paypal stole  my money and gave it back to the prick.  He stole

Not true.

Payment is rendered instantly.

In a nutshell, there are two ways to pay someone using PP:

1.) “Regular” PayPal which is used for goods and services and charges 
the seller a fee based on the total dollar amount of the transaction; or,


2.) PayPal “gift” where money can be transferred to an individual 
purportedly as a “gift”. Under the terms of PP gift there are no fees.


Both of these scenarios assume that the seller or person sending the 
funds has a bank account in good standing linked to the PayPal 
account. That’s because PayPal used ACH transactions to draw the money 
from your account. You can fund a PP purchase or gift with a credit 
card, but you’ll pay merchant fees if you do so.


PayPal also offers buyer protections in regular transactions where 
fees are paid (goods and services, not gift) in that they can help you 
get your money back in the event of an issue with the goods. services 
or seller. These protections favor the buyer, and as a result of this 
a lot of sellers have abandoned venues like eBay that use PP. Things 
like allowing a buyer to come back to you as much as six months after 
a transaction and demand a refund.


PayPal has no feedback function/capabilities. Only the selling venues 
such as eBay have feedback, and they determine the terms as to how 
that feedback is used. I am not aware of eBay inserting itself into a 
transaction as a proxy or escrow agent.


There are third party escrow services out there that will hold your 
funds until you confirm receipt of the item. These are often used for 
high dollar purchases, such as cars.

[MBZ] Tip of the Icebergs

2017-11-05 Thread archer75--- via Mercedes

Paradise Papers leak reveals secrets of the world elite's hidden wealth

Files from offshore law firm show financial dealings of the Queen, big
multinationals and members of Donald Trump’s cabinet

What are the Paradise Papers? – video

The world’s biggest businesses, heads of state and global figures in politics,
entertainment and sport who have sheltered their wealth in secretive tax havens
are being revealed this week in a major new investigation into Britain’s
offshore empires.

The details come from a leak of 13.4m files that expose the global environments
in which tax abuses can thrive – and the complex and seemingly artificial ways
the wealthiest corporations can legally protect their wealth.

The material, which has come from two offshore service providers and the
company registries of 19 tax havens, was obtained by the German newspaper
Süddeutsche Zeitung and shared by the International Consortium of Investigative
Journalists with partners including the Guardian, the BBC and the New York
Times.

The project has been called the Paradise Papers. It reveals:

Millions of pounds from the Queen’s private estate has been invested in a
Cayman Islands fund – and some of her money went to a retailer accused of
exploiting poor families and vulnerable people.

EXTENSIVE OFFSHORE DEALINGS BY DONALD TRUMP'S CABINET MEMBERS, ADVISERS AND

DONORS, INCLUDING SUBSTANTIAL PAYMENTS FROM A FIRM CO-OWNED BY VLADIMIR PUTIN'S

SON-IN-LAW TO THE SHIPPING GROUP OF THE US COMMERCE SECRETARY,WILBUR ROSS.

A previously unknown $450m offshore trust that has sheltered the wealth of
Lord Ashcroft.
Aggressive tax avoidance by multinational corporations, including Nike and
Apple.
How some of the biggest names in the film and TV industries protect their
wealth with an array of offshore schemes.
The billions in tax refunds by the Isle of Man and Malta to the owners of
private jets and luxury yachts.
The secret loan and alliance used by the London-listed multinational
Glencore in its efforts to secure lucrative mining rights in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo.
The complex offshore webs used by two Russian billionaires to buy stakes in
Arsenal and Everton football clubs.

The disclosures will put pressure on world leaders, including Trump and the
British prime minister, Theresa May, who have both pledged to curb aggressive
tax avoidance schemes.

The publication of this investigation, for which more than 380 journalists have
spent a year combing through data that stretches back 70 years, comes at a time
of growing global income inequality.

Meanwhile, multinational companies are shifting a growing share of profits
offshore – €600bn in the last year alone – the leading economist Gabriel Zucman
will reveal in a study to be published later this week.

“Tax havens are one of the key engines of the rise in global inequality,” he
said. “As inequality rises, offshore tax evasion is becoming an elite sport.”

At the centre of the leak is Appleby, a law firm with outposts in Bermuda, the
Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, the Isle of Man, Jersey and
Guernsey. In contrast to Mossack Fonseca, the discredited firm at the centre of
last year’s Panama Papers investigation, Appleby prides itself on being a
leading member of the “magic circle” of top-ranking offshore service providers.

It acted for the establishment offshore, providing the structures that helped
to legally reduce their tax bills.

Appleby says it has investigated all the allegations, and found “there is no
evidence of any wrongdoing, either on the part of ourselves or our clients”,
adding: “We are a law firm which advises clients on legitimate and lawful ways
to conduct their business. We do not tolerate illegal behaviour.”

Re: [MBZ] Windshield Polishing Results

I went ahead and did my whole windshield.

As the sun is now out of my line of sight I can’t compare it in bright 
sunlight, but in the morning it should still be dark enough when I go out to 
see it against oncoming headlights and streetlights, which is almost better 
than the sun when it comes to showing defects.

I will say it was amazingly clean when I washed the car afterwards!  My RainX 
went on like buttah.

The videos I watched for taking out deep scratches used this abrasive and a 
felt wheel, like a grinding wheel.  They wailed on the scratch with the thing 
for a while, but it definitely took out the scratch.

Re: [MBZ] Windshield Polishing Results

2017-11-05 Thread Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes

I tried it for awhile on some wiper scratches, and it did polish the glass,
but did not come anywhere close to grinding oit the scratches. It would
take a stepwise approach with several grits to remove enough glass to get
the scratches out.

I also tried it on the headlights, but mine are so badly pitted it was
pretty hopeless.

Im sure there are some more aggressive grits to deal with deeper
irregularities. Have not read anything on this topic I just ordered the
amazon stuff Dan posted earlier. Seems like a proper buffer/grinder would
be a wise idea also; drill was quite slow even for small areas.

I used water to control temp. Makes a big mess.

You usually have 2-5 per hour, right? (AHI=2 would be two per hour)
Not sure why the clock would come up short and the event counter have a full 
night's worth though. My AS-10 had me at an entirely believable 7 1/2 hours 
with 0.4 AHI last night (3 events per night), so it went through the time zone 
change without issue.

The first one was legal. 
Perp was still holding a gun when Denny/Shatner fired his last shot. 
2nd one was just plain old aggravated assault with a deadly, but he knew nobody 
would prosecute him for it. They might prosecute him for carrying in the secure

any state.

Re: [MBZ] William Shatner

2017-11-05 Thread Curley McLain via Mercedes

As a kid I got to meet lots of stars of westerns.  All the Cartwrights 
except Adam, Matt Dillon, Festus, Doc, the Virginian (Doug Mcclure)  The 
only one that was an A$$hole was Chuck Connors (the Rifleman) and he was 
the the one I wanted most to meet and get an autograph.  He was too 
drunk to sign autographs.  I think one of 4 appearances was cancelled 
because he was too drunk to stand up.  Johnny Crawford says Chuck was 
great, but at least on  one weekend, he was worthless.  I think in his 
younger days, he was great,  Quite a baseball player too.  (Dual Sport)


Most folks who become a star (or rich) become a$$holes, if they weren't 
already.  Festus and Doc genuinely enjoyed meeting people.  I got to see 
them several times, and they were always consistent, and the most 
friendly of all.


Best thing to do is to ignore the "stars" and don't support 
"professional" sports

[MBZ] Windshield Polishing Results

Someone (Max?) here was wondering if the polishing compound I got a few weeks 
ago to take the scratches out of my back window on the wagon would work to take 
some of the “sandblasting” out of a windshield.

I’ve been wondering the same, so this morning I used the polish on a corner of 
my windshield.

I just moved the car out into the sunlight, and looking through it from the 
interior of the car so I can move back and forth between polished and 
unpolished areas, I would say it removed about 75% of the speckling or 
sandblasting.  There is still some speckling present, but it appears to have 
removed a fair amount of it.

I will be interested to see how it looks in the dark, too, so I’ll report back 
tomorrow after my morning commute if it’s dark enough then.

Re: [MBZ] Former W126/350SDL

2017-11-05 Thread G Mann via Mercedes

Organic apple cider vinegar alone is hard to take. Many can't tolerate the
taste.
Try this:
One half teaspoon of baking soda in a glass.
add
One shot glass of vinegar.. shake the bottle first to get the "mother"
mixed since it settles to bottom and is an important element of why OACV
has benefit.
As soon as it fizzes from the acid base mix of the OACV / baking soda mix-
add
8 Oz of chilled water and stir well...

I prefer adding ice cubes and sipping... your choice on that what you
will have is a nicely carbonated drink with a slight "lemon aid" taste that
is rather pleasant.

You will get the full benefit of the OACV and the baking soda buffers the
unpleasant taste component. Reports are, the baking soda helps the body
process the OACV for even better effect at absorption of the beneficial
elements.

How do you make it palatable?  I tried but found the taste revolting.

Re: [MBZ] Fun With Beckers

Possibly.  Typically it’s the encoder that’s bad. I’ve had some luck with 
spritzing them with contact cleaner, but for the most part when they exhibit 
this kind of behavior they’re on the way out.

2017-11-05 Thread MG via Mercedes

So when you turn the knob in the newer radios and the volume 
bounces up and down with each click or even when you turn the 
knob really fast, is it always the encoder that is bad or could 
it also be just the little switch that sends the pulses?

So my fix-it guy says the digital encoders used on the older Beckers are NLA. 
But - he says he uses the same one that’s used on later model radios common to 
the W210, which would be the 3303, 3306 and others. He said it’s backwards 
compatible.

So I guess you’ll need to tear a later model Becker apart to get a part number.

Re: [MBZ] Former W126/350SDL

Which reminds me, I've started to shed weight. I started running 2 months ago 
but lost no weight although I did see other benefits. More recently I'm running 
less but started taking a shot of apple cider vinegar once a day... Down 6 
pounds so far.

Re: [MBZ] 300CD

I've never had a side cut tumbler apart but the older ones are simplicity. 
Remove, degunkify, make sure your keys move all the pins adequately, reinstall 
and lube.

Our local public transit has finally gotten it’s act together and they are now 
running express busses downtown and back from my neighborhood that don’t take 
two hours to get home.  I’m seriously considering riding them on occasion, as I 
can get a monthly pass for $16.00 as a County employee.  I have to drive about 
a mile to the “park & ride”, but it wouldn’t add significantly to my current 
commute time and it would save a boatload on expenses, like gas and tolls. I 
pay $3.50/day in round trip tolls alone.  I’m getting about 23 mpg out of the 
W210 wagon, but if I factor in wear and tear I would be well ahead of the game.

They have wifi on the busses, too.  I like the idea of someone else driving.

Hmm.

Sure, if a key managed to always get put in the same way it would wear to a
