A Chargeback Related Notice

Date : 7/10/2006
inquiry : 2705

Hello. This is Silkroad Online.

It has come to our notice that some of you have been attempting to buy silk through the use of someone else's Paypal account and/or Visa card through either direct usage of other people's Paypal/credit card accounts or having someone else buy you silk. We have then recieved complaints when invariably these accounts get blocked when the card owner declares a chargeback or when the SRO accounts get stolen. It then becomes very difficult to remove that account block and impossible to regain any items, gold, or other bartered collateral used in your illegal transaction.

In order to prevent the loss of your account, we strongly recommend that you do not purchase silk through the use of paypal accounts/ or credit cards that are not your own. Similarly, please do not have someone else buy silk for you. Likewise, do not under any circumstances give out your account login information to anyone else.

We understand that those of you in areas where Paypal or Verified By Visa do not have service are eagerly wanting to purchase silk. To that end, we will soon be attaching new payment methods from Click & Buy to service much of Europe to prepaid cards to service much of southeast Asia. Please be patient just a little longer and do not risk your accounts.
