DirtyBoy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 hey troopers, just want to remind everyone of something we can provide. Under certain circumstances we can provide an option for you to gain a little protection for your bigger purchases. For example: you want to buy a full set of armor and gear from "Desert Ops Trooper" but you don't know them and they are not really on the boards much....deal sounds really good but your Leary of dropping $2000 on it. You talk to "desert Ops trooper" and they are cool with having the funds held by us until your gear arrives. Payment would be sent to the Financial officer and then when the package arrives the funds would be released to the seller. Keep in mind there are PayPal fees associated with the transaction and would have to be covered but it is a little bit of a safeguard for you. Under no circumstances would we get into the middle of "quality" issues or anything like that. Would simply be tracking # verification and release of funds. However, in the millions of transactions I've seen go down on our boards, only 2 went bad years ago from a trooper that fell on hard times and left the legion. We were able to get the buyers money refunded after Command Staff stepped in. We've got an amazing community of people from around the globe working together. So chances are you'll never need this....but if you do....it's there for you. That is all.....Move Along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandtrooper Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 No problem man....it was something that was established when we launched the FO position about 2 years ago. Hasn't been used in that capacity yet but with the prices of armor continuing to go up....made sense to make sure everyone is aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felice Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sounds good! The only thing is the legal opinion...particular for the financial officer. Is he protected? Otherwise...a great Service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Exactly!!! I've made some big purchases in my day and it could have saved lots of aggravation if things like this were in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
