Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone here purchased from jomashop.com before?

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Jomashop after placing an order for an item to be paid through PayPal.

The problem was my order was not shipped and had been pending for several days. Apparently, I was told by their customer service at Jomashop that I need to "verify" my PayPal account before they could ship my order. I don't know why do I need to verify my PayPal account as it is obviously active and I have been making several purchases/transactions without any glitches. Heck, I even made two other successful orders/payments through PayPal only yesterday and I didn't have to verify anything!!!

There had been several bad reviews on jomashop.com in the internet but still I place an order with them as I couldn't find a lower price anywhere else for the item I wanted. Jomashop's website may look legit and some of their items are pretty reasonably priced but I would NEVER EVER deal with jomashop.com again.

To those of you who has never tried Jomashop or are planning to make a purchase there...my advice is STAY CLEAR!! I would rather shop elsewhere even if I had to pay a little more!.

Sorry to hear your problem with them. Care to post the link for your purchase?
I think you should check with Paypal to find out the exact reason.

Dude, I even called up PayPal and according to them, there is no reason to verify anything.
Btw, what do you mean by posting the link for my purchase?

However please check out the pics. Note that there are clearly two successful transactions after jomashop.

The link of the watch you purchase.

since oder is pending on paypal and no money is taken out from your side. Just cancel the order.
a verify paypal, what does that mean? a verify bank account tied to paypal is that the case?

anyway, I think I saw the same watch on ebay too. I still thought U got it on the bay.

well, have you verified your paypal yet?

paypal verification is a process where paypal will deduct funds from your debit/credit card. this is to verify your home address and you will be able to get these funds back (typically <$1usd from memory).

a lot of online stores/sellers do not ship to paypal accounts without a prior verified address, so if you have not performed this simple step, i believe the fault is actually on your end.

otherwise, if you have already done this; you can simply tell this store to cancel your order. in the case that they still proceed to take funds off paypal, lodge an issue on paypal and try for a chargeback on your credit card.

hope this helps.

I think khopl already done the verification process since he did some transactions in Paypal before.
khopl, please keep us updated.

ck77: you do not HAVE to verify paypal to continue with transactions.

the verification process basically just solidifies the fact that your address is as per your registered paypal address. it has happened before that a buyer scams a seller by having them ship to an address that is not verified.

anyway; hopefully he can get this little issue sorted.

Thanks alot guys...
I tried to get verified by linking and confirming my credit card.
But it seems like i'm supposed to provide a 4 digit paypal code. where am i supposed to get the code??
It says to check my credit card statement for the code? but how? I mean, the amount wasn't even charged to my card yet...so how to get the code?
can someone guide me?

send me a PM and i will let you know mate.

this way, we can continue with this thread.

regards,
b

this makes more sense now...
thanx r3kahsttub for helping out!

no issues mate, glad i could help to sort things out.

anyway, i just went a page back. here's my one and only gshock:

@patryn33,

Regarding the grey market is it trustable? although i have visited their website and FAQ + all kinds of reviews from them seems....scary to bank in such a huge amount.

Well, for calibre 16 it looks smart on the leather strap whereas, stainless steal does look casual. Im still having a ping pong decision whether which strap to get. I dont sweat much but there's still possibility of getting the leather torn off in long term.

Nevertheless, most of the shops only display leather series for calibre 16, got to pre-order for stainless steal model.

Have not received from jomashop. Im thinking of canceling the order. But then, really good price (sigh)!

I ordered one from amazon...stuhrling original. Got it in abt 5 days by DHL. Super smooth transaction.

I also ordered a few from ebay...i think 4 watches...still waiting for delivery.

Thnking of getting one....or a good quality panerai replica...or possibly u-boat. what u guys think?

Can't afford original Panerai at the moment! Saw my fren wore one yesterday and I was drooling!

Added on February 4, 2010, 9:28 pmlooking for value for money don't go with Tag, Tag is expensive.
Fortis is well build and was chosen by russian for space mission. even some military ppl use it.
CK is cheap, sure! Fossil make their watches.. most likely done in Philippines or China.
Zenith is renown for the El Primero movement. Tag is using El Primero on their caliber 36 which cost US$7.9k and up. Rolex had El Primero on their Daytona till 2001.

This statement in bold I don't get it.
