I was hoping to buy a free Supercard DSTWO!!!! I had 27.95 of store credit.

BTW, what will happen with store credit, will it be available on Shoptemp (V2), or can we make a transfer to our paypal or are we simply gonna lose the store credit.

I'm still a little bit worried about what I need answered:

I ordered some stuff a couple hours before this announcement was made, am I in the clear and getting the stuff, or no?

Its very doubtful, they probably couldn't accept payments at that point.

In regards to the store credit, for those who asked, whatever ShopTemp becomes it will not necessarily be selling items. So there may be no use for the credit, but who knows, they may work something out.

I paid with Store Credit, which managed to cover everything and the shipping. I don't think they get paid with Store Credit or anything, do they? And besides, I think it was like 3-5 hours before... unless they couldn't do anything before and just decided "alright, well I guess it's time we put the news up"

Like I ordered the MP3 player +2gb memory, earphones, 2gb microsd...

PM me your order number and I will ask what is left of the ShopTemp staff to look into it for you. I hope they got it sent out, but its hard to say. The payment dealies were shut down before the announcement went up. They were trying to do whatever they could to sort it out, but there was no solution.

Done. I hope I can get a MicroSD card. I mean, I know I can go out and buy one, but the ones I got from ShopTemp, never gave me trouble or anything, especially in my Acekard. And I need another one for my backup flashcard.

I still don't see why they needed to shut up shop. Originally they had no PayPal on their site and accepted other Payments. What was stopping them from switching to alternative payment methods?

Long time GBAtemp/ Filetrip supporters http://www.ishopvideogame.com/ http://gamesyeah.com/ http://www.gameyeeeah.com/ (all one company, and it's been said pal's of Costello's) are still going fine without PayPal (on the main site). I gather that's who GBAtemp partnered with for ShopTemp...

They were the retailer which used to be advertised on FileTrip (prior to ShopTemp), and also supported all the older reviews etc.


I wish I previously touched that store credit

I'm presuming I can kiss goodbye to that...

Probably not as PayPal suspended their account. I'm sure if they get rid of the Flashcard section and appeal to PayPal and say "there's nothing illegal on our site anymore." Paypal might consider.

ShopTemp tried that, those accounts were closed as well. Resistance was futile.

Nope, ShopTemp is no longer selling products period. They have no way to receive payments.
