Site Down…

Wonder that's how they do it.

For the past few weeks, my site has hacked unfortunately. And I had to take this site down for a couple of days. Sorry for that, especially those who have been coming to visit installing Froyo into TYTN II. Apparently Alexjong.com has been marked as a phishing site in trying to get banking details from major banks in the US. Anyway, the culprit apparently left his calling card which is williambriggs2011@gmail.com. So feel free to spam it with whatever things you want to.

Anyway, I would like to apologize for those who have been affected due from this site as I should have been more careful with it. As I didn’t noticed anything, until I received an email from google.

Will be a short post for now. Hopefully will update more soon. Probably that’s why my site got attacked. Never the less, it’s all good. Been a while I had to sort of “format” my server. LOL. You all have a nice day!

Paypal To CIMB Bank Withdraw Successful

I’ve made a withdrawal from Paypal to CIMB bank last week which was on the 29th January.  From their website they state it will take 2-3 working days.  Now take note that working days does not include Saturday & Sunday.  So anyway, since I withdraw it on the 29th which falls on Thursday, I was like thinking maybe I will be able to get my funds by Monday.  But unfortunately I never got it until today.  Yes, it took me 6 working days to receive my funds from Paypal.  However from what I was told, normally the first withdrawal takes a little bit longer.  But once you withdraw the 2nd time it will be faster.  So I’m not too sure about that, maybe will try and see how it goes.

Surprisingly when I opened up my account to check, it stated IBG Credit.  So I guess it’s considered a local transfer rather than international transfer.  Who knows, but I do get complaints from people stating that the exchange rate is very low.  Yes, I do agree with that the exchange rates are not reasonable but I guess they pretty much included the transfer fees or bank charges that could incurred during the transfer.  Never the less, I always tell people to set your own exchange rates.  So normally when I sell stuff online especially in USD, I would charge my clients about 1 USD = RM3.1 or RM3.2.  So at least when I do a conversion through Paypal it wouldn’t be so bad, but ended up earning a little bit from the exchange rates.  So why are you complaining about?  Banks exchange rates are not that good either, so you’ve just got to learn how to give and take.

Anyway, I wouldn’t want to go into more details on that.  But here’s the proof of my withdrawal, and of course this time I need to clear a bit, because it’s a little bit sensitive showing how much I withdraw this time round.  Hehehe.  Anyway, I did another withdrawal as well on the 2nd of February to Maybank account, as I heard it was faster.  Well, I’ll just wait and see.

Oh before I forget, the swift code for CIMB Bank is CIBBMYKL.  Apparently previously Paypal made a mistake in placing the swift code information.  Anyway, they have fixed it already and I was able to withdraw no problems.  So don’t just sit there, start selling and get some extra cash for this coming Chinese New Year ;)

Happy New Year

Happy New Year

Yes, apparently it has already been a few days after the New Year and I hope everyone is doing well.  Never the less, I would like to wish everyone a Blessed New Year.  I’ve always look forward for the New Year as it always gives me hope to start off something fresh and of course leave everything negative behind.  So let us all start a fresh and shake off what ever discouragement we have from last year, and try again this year.

So what will I have been doing for the past few weeks was that, I’m actually going to have an open seminar whereby I’ll be introducing eBay to people.  I’ve already have the venue, but I’m still waiting for the green light by them.  As I believe they are also trying to gather as many people to attend this brief promo.  So I’m looking forward to that event which I think will happen hopefully within the next few weeks.

I’m also experimenting another method on how to sell on eBay, and we shall see how it will turn out.  Basically it’s a new account, so I’m sort of like starting from scratch again.  Anyway, I’m opened to questions so feel free to drop me a message or leave a comment and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.  Wishing all of you a Blessed New Year once more.

Missing In Action

Missing In Action - This was the only I can find for M.I.A

Missing In Action - This was the only I can find for M.I.A

It has been over a year since I’ve been giving courses on eBay. So first and foremost I would like to apologize to everyone who have visited this site and did not get anything out from it. As most of the time I would end up referring all of you to my other associates.
Anyway, just to update what actually have been happening for the past year was that I’ve been trying to adjust my lifestyle especially with the baby around.  Yes, that was mainly the reason why I have been a bit quiet in this section here.  As a lot of adjustment needed to be made.  And of course the time selling on eBay is also a bit difficult for me due to certain time have been taken just to take care of the little one.  Not that I’m complaining or anything, as a matter a fact it was indeed a good and fun experience for me.  But never the less, work is still important and my baby girl is already 1 years ++.  So I can start to go back teaching once again, something which I have miss for a very long time.

I’m currently experimenting a new method in listing my products and trying to see how the outcome would be.  And also I’m currently repackaging my course fees as well as methods of teaching.  There will still be a free course, but just to let you know that eBay won’t be paying for the phone bills anymore.  So I guess we need to resort to Skype or MSN or any other instant messengers that support voice.

For group courses, I will be planning to do a bit of traveling in the near future.  So most likely I’ll be flying around Sarawak.  And if I so by happened to be in your town or city, I won’t mind staying another extra 2-3 days to hold a course.  So do check me out in a couple of weeks, as how I will plan for my year 2010 program specially just for you.   For personal or group seminars do contact me via the contact page and I’ll get in touch with you soon.

Thank you for continuous support, and I hope to see all of you soon.

PB Day2Day Visa Debit Card Withdraw Paypal Success

This was pretty much my expression when I checked my account this morning  But before I go on, apparently I was having some problems with joomla latest patch.  Probably the only way to solve it is doing a fresh install if not roll back to the previous version.  Which pretty much is a bummer because I don’t think I have the time to work on it bit by bit.  Hopefully they’ll come up with a patch soon.  The problem is that, in Firefox if I were to save an article or post it, I’ll get an error.  So far there don’t seem to be anything wrong with IE, but when I save the article, it doesn’t save the formatting. So forgive me if this will be a messy post.
  Anyway, as the title pretty much speaks for itself. I was able to withdraw my paypal funds successfully via Public Bank Day2Day Visa Debit Card.  So my next course of action is probably cancel my Visa Electron Card and stick to PB Day2Day card.  The reason is due to the fact that it is cheaper to maintain, plus I have an additional saving account which can be used for trading online.

Went and withdraw on the 2nd of July Managed To Received The Money Today

  So you can see that my withdrawal was successful.  But let’s take a look at the transaction on the 01-07-2009.  I was given the credit of RM0.02 instantly, which was due to the fact that I made a transaction via PayPal for the verification process.  Unlike Visa Electron you might need to wait until the end of the year before you can actually use the cashback value.  Pretty cool don’t you think?

  Anyway, for those who wish to upgrade your bankcard to this, there are pros and cons which you would like to consider which I stated in my previous post.  But never the less, it’s all good ;)   So I do hope that this final post for the PB Day2Day card will help you decide on which card you would like to take.

  Oh before I forget, in order for you to use this card online you must first apply for the Verify with Visa, which you can actually do it at the public bank website.  Like the Public Bank Visa Electron Debit card, the credit limit you must enter is 000000.  Then you can enter a new pin already by then.  Have a nice day.
