Anybody have a problem buying bucket mounted forks on ebay?

Trying to do that. I'm looking for the 1500 or some list as 2000# clamp on fork with spacer bar that runs $152.60.

Tried 3 suppliers of that product and none of them would cash out with the Pay Pal managed credit card payment method. I have purchased over 250 items and some since trying to order these and had absolutely no problems with the sale.

So I get a friend with a Pay Pal account and using Pay Pal it wouldn't cash out?

I emailed one of the suppliers, seemed to be most interested, and told them that I thought there was something wrong with the way the item is listed on ebay and since there were more than one seller with the problem it must be with the way the supplier listed it.

I recently encountered a problem but probably a different situation. I attempted to purchase a dash camera off an international web site that was declined using paypal. I made a couple of attempts and it failed both times. Later I bought a couple of items off ebay and one sale went through but the other failed. I had placed both in the shopping cart before I checked out. I wasn't really notified of the failed item but when I didn't get confirmation I checked and saw it wasn't done. I made several more attempts to buy that from a couple different vendors. Called Ebay and they said go to paypal. Called paypal and they said it was my credit card. Turns out I have to notify my CU if I want to use my card for international purchases. I guess several attempts to bill the card from international vendors triggered a flag on my card and they shut it down completely.

In the interim I went ahead and used my debit card for the last item because I needed it to get shipped. Went through with no problem.

FYI those lightweight forks are probably okay on a CUT but they bend pretty easy when you clamp them on a loader that has some grunt behind it. I bought a set that claimed they were good for 4000 lb if you chained them around the bucket. Had em torn up in about 20 minutes with my 575E.
