I've done business with him over email, but I could tell it's not his preferred way to do business.

I've done plenty of business with Mike over the years. He is very legitimate and I have high regard for that man.

FWIW, it costs money to get those SSL certificates renewed and besides, and he uses Paypal to do the actual transactions. The site is SSL (HTTPS), but the cert is expired. So please quit bashing his website. He does what he can with what he has.

I recommend just reaching out to him via email and telling him what you want, and how you want it. He'll even test and chrony it before shipping for free.

I've done a ton of business with Mike.... mostly through one on one phone conversations. Best time to call is 9:00 to noon CT weekdays.

I’ve had nothing but truly excellent experiences in my dealings with Mike.

Usually when I buy something from Mike I'll get hold of him on the phone but now I don't have paypal anymore so it might be harder to buy from him now. ???

Should be able to use your credit card thru paypal as a guest.  No account required.  Mike is GREAT!  Call him.

Like I said.. I'v e plenty of dealings with Mike.
I would call him and discuss what I wanted. The I would send him a Paypal with a short description in the notes. The item would show up at my door, usually with 5 days or so. I don't remember getting tracking unless I requested it. If something was ever wrong, Mike would make it right.

I have always called him and sent him a money order, no issues.

That's not his selling web site it's his blog site.

When I order from Mike again I'll go the money order route because I don't trust paypal anymore.

Why do you no longer trust PayPal?  You have me worried because I'm still using it.
Title: Re: Flying Dragon AG
Post by: Robert 5mm on January 31, 2023, 06:02:55 PM
I think Paypal is a good and trustworthy service.
I use Paypal to charge my Discover Card for online purchases.

I just used Paypal to order an Airacuda Max .22 from FD.
Mike is also good and trustworthy in my opinion.

I think my comment about not trusting online orders to an unsecured website may have been interpreted as bashing Mike. That was not my intent and I've purchased from him directly in the past. I simply would not feel comfortable putting my personal information onto any web forms on aj unsecured website.

A while back I seen something about paypal fining people because of their political views against what they consider terrorists and figured I'd rather be safe than sorry.
The fine was for $2,500 and I said to heck with that.
Title: Re: Flying Dragon AG
Post by: avator on February 01, 2023, 07:42:24 AM
Hmmm... no idea how paypal would know my political views. Not only do I not show them here, I don't show them anywhere. Mainly because I don't have any. I prefer to support the integrity of the man, not what color tie he wears.
I prefer not to involve myself in the whole dog and pony show.
I've positioned my self to do what I want, when I want and where I want to do it. Been like that all my life and I have no plans to change... regardless of other's plans.
If I don't like what I see going on in the World I simply change the channel... or turn it off completely...  ;)

This is something PayPal said they might do then quickly backtracked. Google it.

FDAR does not retain any information from orders. All orders go straight to PP which I understand is secure...Mike

Finger on the pulse is a good thing.  ;)
