Hi, I'm a CrunchPad, and the JooJoo was my idea.]]>Dec 21st 2009 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/You don't know how hurtful that is: we cavemen are people too!

Ignorant bastard...]]>Dec 21st 2009 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/
It doesn't matter who created it, Hitler wants a fucking CrunchPad.

The whole thing just screams "eBay scam" too. No one even knows about the thing anyway... just us Engadget readers.

"Here's a great new product! Even though there's only been a few grainy YouTube videos of the thing... send us $500 now!!!"

Is a pre-order really necessary? Do they think they're gonna run out?]]>Dec 21st 2009 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/> Is a pre-order really necessary? Do they think they're gonna run out?

I suspect they may need cash now.]]>Dec 21st 2009 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/
They've already burned through $3,000,000 of investment money by this point... how much do they think they're gonna get from people pre-ordering a $500 "phantom" product?

If they seriously *need* cash 2 months before the product is even gonna ship... it's far worse than we all thought...

They might be doing this to show how many pre-orders they get so they can ask for more money from investors... but the whole thing is shaping up to be the first tech-blunder of 2010... if not the biggest.

This time next year... if the JooJoo is on store shelves in Best Buy and Walmart... I'm eat my words. (god that name sucks!) But this last-minute cash hustle doesn't look good.]]>Dec 21st 2009 5:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/"by placing an 8 to 10 week pre-oder"

Maybe it should be a pre-odor, with all this foul stuff going on at Fusion Garage.]]>Dec 21st 2009 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/Dec 21st 2009 4:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/
Depends... I believe that if they (FusionGarage) send you ANYTHING... then your sol, even if they send you a card saying that they won't send the product then you're not covered by PayPal's protection, as they sent you *something*, even if it didn't match the product you were supposed to get, and its up to you to take it up with the law yourself. However thats just what I've read, I could be wrong.]]>Dec 21st 2009 6:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/
They wouldn't even have to send ANYTHING, since you'll be waiting 8-10 weeks to get it, and you're well past Paypal's 45-day coverage.

Paypal: "Um, sorry. You should have called within our 45-day period."
You: "But Joo-Joo told me to wait 56-70 days for it to arrive."
Paypal: "Joo-Joo doesn't make our policies. To show you our appreciation for being a Paypal customer, we can send out a bottle of KY for your troubles."
You: "It's too late for that." ]]>Dec 21st 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/Dec 21st 2009 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/Dec 21st 2009 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/Dec 21st 2009 5:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/
Read my comment above. They've already spent $3,000,000 so far. They're not gonna make any sort of dent in their debt by offering pre-orders on a product that doesn't exist... using PayPal.]]>Dec 21st 2009 5:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/
There's also restrictions on many merchant acquirers' agreements around this, and quite possibly restrictions exist at the processing network level, too...]]>Dec 21st 2009 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/joojoo-terms-of-sale-violate-paypal-rules/Between the pricing jump, the litigation, shady and evasive behavior of Chandra in the interviews I've seen him in, i would suggest you do not buy the BooBoo.
