    Wow, that's really a nice gimbal!
    My only problem with goodluckbuy.com, well other than they're the typical "don't-give-a-damn-good-luck-with-trying-to-warrante-that" Chinese, is they only accept PayPal for payments. I can't use my credit card direct. Yes, I know I can use my credit card through PayPal and don't have to have an account. But I lost several thousand dollars a few years ago when someone got my info from PayPal and purchased a LOT of stuff online and even when PayPal found the problem and admitted it was their fault they refused to reimburse me. So, needless to say I refuse to use that service at all.
    But hey, that REALLY is a very nice gimbal :D

    PayPal sucks. I think everyone has had a problem with them at least once. They are not a bank so they are not liable in the same way banks are. Most resolutions with PayPal take a month, they are in no hurry when they've got your money. They are owned by eBay and eBay locks you in to using them in a financial monopoly since eBay does not allow other payment systems like Square (https://squareup.com/). I look forward to the day that someone calls eBay out on that and eBay gets slapped with a class action lawsuit.

    I first learned of Good Luck Buy from Rick at the Sunday flying during lunch. It seems he's had good luck with them. I have not personally purchased anything from them so I can't say. If you have to use PayPal I would recommend not making a PayPal account and use PayPal to process your credit card as a guest. That way you will have resolution via the bank that issued your credit card.
