Yes I agree but the weekend I ordered the product was Aug 26 , Labor day was Sept 05 and Aug 26 is when I initiated the "immediate" refund (per their policy.) On Also it says "No questions asked" and the first thing they asked is why.
If the refund policy stated that I would get my refund in 7-10 days I would have said fine. But their policy says immediate.

gc1, You are missing a huge point.
There is something called "BANK PROCESSING".
When a merchant refunds someone money it doesn't go back to them right away all the times. It has to go through their bank processing and then it has to go through your bank processing. (Paypal in this case for you)

I know this very well because I handle claims everyday.

Most people think that as soon as the merchant refunds it will magically appear on their accounts instantly.
It can take 3-5 business days for a refund to post. In rare cases it can take longer.

Filing a dispute would be pointless unless there was fraud. You will get your refund quicker from them than going through a dispute.

The key word is "Immediate" take it out and say it could take 3-5 business days for your refund in the MBG and then the problem is solved.

When I do a business transaction via PayPal and a customer wants a refund, I click "refund" and it instantly is removed from my account and either shows up instantly for for the one being refunded or pending in their account.

No way to turn off their stupid ads even as a paying customer. The alert screen is intrusive to unsuspecting users. Not recommended.

Based on my experience testing 5 or 6 different CDN providers, I would not expect much of a performance improvement (if any at all) from a free service. But give that a try, sign up, and test for yourself. Before you settle for a particular CDN, do yourself a favor and compare at least a few. There are several fairly inexpensive plans which will cost you from as little as $30/year to not much more than $10/mo. Generally, you should be able to get a short term free test from each of them. Test them well, compare load times in various geographical locations, especially those where majority of your visitors come from.

CDN is well worth it, it may improve load times considerably. But do not settle on the first one you try. Test as many as you can.

Sorry to dig up an old topic, how are you guys getting on with cloudflare
Are you getting any member complaints with false positives

Looks like cloudflare have been hacked today
The word censored shows all over the place
Home page has lots of blacked out words on it
No telling what else they have done. My own google bot hits have dropped dramatically

No hack- this is an anti-SOPA protest. Props to Cloudflare for offering up this app.

Been doing my digging on the net since posting this.
There are loads of mainstream websites been turned off for the day, all showing messages of support.
Its possible google could have altered their algorithms for the day. About the same time the demonstration started was when google search bots stopped hitting at their normal rate

Search giant Google has 'blacked out' its logo on its U.S. home page in solidarity with Wikipedia's move - and sites and services such as BoingBoing, Reddit, WordPress, Firefox and Metafilter are fully or partially 'blacking out' in support.

Wikipedia now loads a black 'protest' page instead of entries from the encyclopedia - only the English-language version is affected, and only the version accessed via certain browsers such as PC and iPad. Phone browsers do not load the 'black' protest page at all. An estimated 100 million users could be affected by the move.
