Rant: Miserable Online Shopping Experience Recently

[Tranquility]

This is a rant.

I've had a terrible online shopping experience recently.

1) Game Codes | mmorpg codes | console codes - gamecode4you.com is a SCAM WEBSITE. They sell serial keys for games and game time (for MMORPGs). I ordered an item from them which they promised to ship WITHIN A DAY via e-mail. I never received the e-mail even after several days. I sent their customer support multiple messages and they ignored all of it. Disgruntled, I canceled my order and on their POS website, it says the cancellation has been approved.

HOWEVER, they still charged my Paypal account. Even after several weeks, the charge is still there. I sent them multiple e-mails about it and they ignored ALL of it. Their customer support is nonexistent. Now, I have started a dispute on Paypal and God knows how long I have to wait to get my money back.. IF I GET IT BACK AT ALL.

2) I ordered a G35 during Amazon's Gold Box event. I was happy as **** because I've been wanting the headset for a while, having missed the Logitech dented box deals, twice.

HOWEVER, 3 days later, they canceled my order because of some payment issues. All of the payment information was correct. FFS, 70% of the payment was with their OWN GIFT CARD. They want me to reorder the headset at the higher price.

So moral of this rant: Its good to be a fanboy. Stick to retailers and brands you trust.

Thought I would rant also.
I purchased an item from dino direct, /www.dinodirect.com
(item was purchased a few months ago)
i have not received the item yet and they don't want to refund.
they are sending a replacement item of lesser value, and not the one i ordered. I am very unhappy with them.
