I had them freeze mine for the word mod in a payment memo to me, I explained to them it was a payment for a tv compatibility circuit to run older game systems on newer televisions and they unfroze it

Total forgot you had this same issue.


After some more email exchanges I'm back in business. Woot woot!:)

It's been resolved now but I wouldn't have been able to deassign and close my account anyway during the limitation placement.

180 days seems a bit severe.  Since people are sending you equipment to work on, why not accept money orders?

Turbokon now accepts payment only in the form of boxes of raisinettes mailed in with your system.

Did they give a reason for holding it for six months?  Their website says 21 days, so raise a stink with 'em and threaten to move to Amazon Payments or something similar.

I tried to ask what their software looked for but they wouldn't tell me.  As thesteve mentioned, they are probably looking for the word "Mod" and "Chip" for mod chip that would bypass or descramble the manufacturer's feature, security or lockdown.

Anyway it's all good now.  I'm back up with PayPal.

I will take money orders if PayPal isn't an option.
