Sold 600 packs last night in just 39 minutes. Convinced them to run it again with around 5,000 packs, but note these will start shipping in one week. They're great little gadgets, and extremely bright. I have one permanently on a powerbank. Also great to use at the end of a USB extension lead for those hard-to-get-at places. Restricted to one purchase per Rosegal account. Apply coupon MINIARSE2 at checkout. Coupon will only work with AU IP addresses. Select Flat Rate Shipping and remove Shipping Insurance to avoid additional charges. Use PayPal for buyer protection. Enjoy :)

      They get your details which can be sold on elsewhere, also you now have an account and will most likely buy more products when you see deals on them.

        These bastards just charged me with insurance.
        I really concerned with PayPal now - authorised one amount and been changed with the bigger one.
        How is it possible from paypal side?

          @Maxx Power: Never dispute with Paypal. Always dispute with CC (which then opens a paypal dispute by default). Burden of proof for the charge to go through is higher.

        • RedHab on 21/09/2017 - 17:07
          +1

          Yeah PayPal seems to have a new web sales flow where you authorize the amount, and are then redirected back to the original seller who can "add" things like shipping and insurance to the bill, or remove promo codes.

          @jasonb:

          Never dispute with Paypal. Always dispute with CC (which then opens a paypal dispute by default

          It does no such thing.

          The best thing to do is first a PayPal claim, and only if that fails then you can do a chargeback.

        • jasonb on 21/09/2017 - 17:22

          @Scab: Our experiences must be different. Last time I disputed a charge with my bank there was an issue in Paypal resolution centre the next day waiting for the merchant to deal with.
          In that instance I got everything back, other people who went straight to Paypal got 50%

        • korda on 21/09/2017 - 17:38

          I did this a couple of days ago too. Just go to your rosegal order and cancel it saying you didn't mean to add the insurance and they'll ask if you want to refund the insurance and keep the order. I'll wait to see if I get my dollar back.

        • Scab on 21/09/2017 - 18:08

          @jasonb:

          issue in Paypal resolution centre the next day waiting for the merchant to deal with.

          That's because PayPal act as an intermediary and liason between the bank and the seller, but it is not a PayPal dispute.

          And doing a chargeback first is not the best way, it should only be done after a PayPal claim has failed, then you at least have two layers of protection.

          Because once you do a chargeback you can't do a PayPal claim.

        • Pest85 on 21/09/2017 - 18:10

          @Scab: oh yeah, did it straight away.

          We've processed your recent claim that someone used your account without
          your permission for this transaction, and decided the case in your favour.

        • Maxx Power on 21/09/2017 - 22:23

          @Pest85:

          We've completed our review of your account and found that your account is secure and has not been accessed by an unauthorized third party. As a result, we've closed your unauthorized transaction claim.

          You were lucky… Well done

    Their checkout is very deceptive: it shows your (lower) payment then adds on insurance after you've viewed your Paypal costs. Shifty.

      I have one in a powerboard in the lounge, wife goes to bed earlier than I and likes lights off so this is a very handy night light to see what I'm doing when there is no TV glow.

      ….and TA, another 5000 of those upmarket Xaomi "stick" USB lights would be handy puuurrrleeezzze

      • bigpallooka on 22/09/2017 - 01:57

        +1 for the stick lights. I need more and that powerboard idea is great. I wonder how long they can be used for? Do they get hot? Would they be any good for a night light?

        • havebeerbelywillsumo on 22/09/2017 - 04:30
          +1

          At a guess the tiny simple light would last a heck of a long time, can't see them drawing much. I've only had mine in for 4 hours at the longest and was a no threat gently warm only…others have mentioned heat is an issue so maybe it all depends on your little USB's makeup and the power it is getting???

          If the "they" was a stick light, they have multiple output settings. On dim I'd reckon they would last days on a charged up powerbank….dim is only a just seeing light though, not a work/read light….but the dim is my idea of a "night light".

          All conjecture on my point, Google is your friend if no better responses here.

      I live in cyclone country and have the Xiaomi power-banks and the led light stems so we can keep our phones working and some light for night time if we loose power. It worked well last year when we had a 4 day blackout. That and all the 3/4 refilled water bottles in my freezer saved my sanity and my food.
