seller listed their store with another broker for over a month.
couldn't sell it.
best offer on the table: $135k
seller was about to accept it.
literally had his finger on the trigger.
then he texted me. last minute. just to see if we could do better.
me: "don't sign anything yet. send me your store URL and your P&L"
4 hours later.
buyer: "i'm in. $200k"
seller: "is this for real tho?”
me: "yeah. pretty normal for us."
12 hours later. done.
$65k extra. in half a day.
the other broker had months. i had 12 hours.
here's the painful truth nobody tells sellers:
every day you sit with the wrong broker, your store becomes a harder sell.
timing kills deals. bad brokers kill businesses.
most sellers come back to me eventually.
just usually too late.
don't be that seller.
so shopify shuts down payments and holds 20k but can’t even explain why. classic
you love to see it from such a big company
we had a 0.6% chargeback rate btw and only 2k disputed out of over 1M in revenue
@Shopify@ShopifySupport
I’m on the verge of losing $150,000 because of Shopify.
They shut down my payment processing while I had over $150K in authorized recurring revenue.
Now Shopify has gone completely silent with no human reply to 7+ emails for over a week.
Even if they re-activate payments today, lots of authorizations will have expired or cause issues, meaning a lot of that money is gone for good.
This isn’t “risk management,” it’s destructive interference with legitimate business activity.
Under U.S. Commercial Law (UCC §1-304), both parties to a contract have a duty of good faith, (activate payments for subscription contracts only).
I have:
U.S. inventory and fulfillment
1.2% chargebacks
Yet Shopify can unilaterally freeze payments, hold customer tokens, and block rebills, erasing 6 figures in legitimate revenue, with no clear process, no manual review, no appeal, and they are entitled to most of this cause of their policies, but no policy mentions their ability to disrupt the contracts you made with your clients when they signed up (maybe they modify it after this).
I have way too much proof to be a legitimate seller, millions of $ have been processed in my acc, I let all of my stores open for 6-7 months for any future chargebacks possible, getting every withdrawal from shopify even after months after if needed...
Realistically speaking, what is the outcome of this if I file a lawsuit. Im wasting my time cause they are too big and powerful?
I need lawyers replying to this
PS: not complaining of the ban, I know is what i was exposed to for being over 1%, but their ability to not let us finish our rebills, even give me a 100% hold if needed, but don't play with our money like this, this is other level of shit that we are exposed to and nobody speaks about.
Shopify just disabled payments on our store citing an “elevated risk of chargebacks.”
We’ve been running this brand since 2023 — processed over 15,000+ orders and even received Shopify milestone awards for consistent performance.
We’ve never had policy violations or a high chargeback ratio. In fact, our rate has remained well below Shopify’s risk threshold for the past year.
Our support requests and appeal have been sitting unanswered while payouts are now on a 120-day hold. This is severely affecting operations for a verified and legitimate business that’s been fully compliant since day one.
An urgent review and response from @ShopifySupport@harleyf@tobi would be greatly appreciated.
Independent business owners deserve clarity — not silence.
The importance of retardmaxxing:
High IQ often means overcomplicating everything. Always analyzing, always strategizing. I catch myself doing this all the time.
But the truth is, most high IQ people are miserable. When your brain is wired to constantly dissect, predict, and overanalyze, you see every flaw, every risk, every hidden angle.
It’s like carrying X-ray vision for reality. You can’t just enjoy the moment because you’re busy seeing how fragile everything really is. You know the odds, the statistics, the history. You can’t unsee it.
The more you know, the harder it is to laugh freely, to be lighthearted, to feel joy without caveats. That’s why so many brilliant people end up restless, cynical, even depressed.
Meanwhile, the simple ones look happier, lighter, free.
Moral of the story: You need to be retardmaxxing more often.
🥷🏼 UNTAPPED product research method of mine
I never said I spy on competitors and copy-paste their strategies to generate free winners through General Dropshipping. Since I am gonna stop with General Dropshipping I am gonna share it. ❤️
📘 SOP:
1️⃣ Spy on Competitors: Identify competitors with 200+ active ads. Analyze their best-performing ads and use tools like ChatGPT to enhance and optimize the creatives.
2️⃣ Optimize Listings: Create a similar listing but make it better! Use tools like Canva to upgrade product images and write more compelling copy. Always aim to outshine their quality.
3️⃣ The Wildcard Move: Ban their Facebook page (yes, you read that right), then launch your ads to grab the algorithm advantage they had. 😂
Sometimes, it’s about playing smart. Work hard, but also work smart! 🥷🏼
