I will not confirm or deny that .
I will confirm that paypal was politely denied. So I asked about BTC or CC for payment.
I do suggest that if you want to buy an Avalon 721 with BTC or CC you could ask politely as being nice can not hurt.
So far it (the btc payment of 2.74 ) is stuck and i am annoyed that some A--- hole decided to spam the blockchain.
I have had a similar experience re ordering, and I second your recommendation, Phil...other than getting the tx stuck, of course...
Being nice NEVER hurts.

EDIT: ...and now I know why that transaction got stuck. My partner's core went offline just before the spam attack. When he came back on, the jam was happening. Crap.
I hope it wasn't me playing about with my wallet settings trying to consolidate these individual mBTC for free that spammed the network. I can't find a way to cancel the requests using Electrum but I don't think I did that many anyway.
