I believe so. But as I stated earlier, I still didn't get through.anodyne13 wrote:Quick Strategy Question...I got my token coming back from paypal, but could never get OG page to accept so I kept refreshing the Token URL, but it didnt work. Are you not supposed to keep refreshing the token if it doesnt work the first time?

Same here ... 45 minutes trying to do final click after PayPal ... and finally reached an empty cart.swellstylez wrote:brintoul wrote:I submitted with the Paypal token like 100 times and never saw the final submit.

So ... my question ... WHY does Obey need to have that final return to its store? CLICK confirm on PayPal and it should be done. There is NO reason for that final page at the Store.

Didn't mean to pizs everyone off. I really did bag a print that early. Got a small pack of stickers too.
So quick to crucify!

But this time no. So that approach works ... if you can get through the traffic jam.
I've scored on different computers using different methods. I've also failed on different computers using different methods. As far as I can tell it's luck, at least in my experience.(unless of coarse you have a computer lab full of people f5ing away, then your odds are slightly increased).tommy armageddon wrote:does anyone think there is a system in scoring prints? if you do please don't give it away, iv'e been having good luck.

Let me clarify, I got stuck on "http://obeygiant.com/store/payment/payment_cc.php" after hitting "Submit" and sometimes, it'd take me back to the "http://obeygiant.com/store/cart.php?mode=checkout" url.brintoul wrote:If you go to "http://obeygiant.com/store/payment/payment_cc.php" and nothing is being submitted to the server (it's not asking for permission to "resend"), you're just wasting connections and bandwidth.choisez wrote:H2KOG wrote:durn I got a error on page on the submit page, had to try again from the start, should I have just stayed on that page and continued to try the submit button?I made it pretty smoothly through PayPal and back, but once I got to the "Submit" button, it was a slow death. I clicked "Submit" and then I just kept refreshing over and over again until it finally expired from my cart.distract wrote:So whats the trick once you hit submit? do you refresh once it doesn't take? or do you go back a page to hit it again (if the screen loads)?
Sometimes, I'd go from "http://obeygiant.com/store/payment/payment_cc.php" back to "http://obeygiant.com/store/cart.php?mode=checkout" and see the "Submit" button again, so I manually pasted and clicked the previous page to refresh hell.
Ugh.
I'm guessing everyone either made it through the same hurdle or didn't.
Looks like it's off to the secondary market for me.
And IMHO, I'd rather go through scheduled drops, instead of spending all day in waiting.
Times like this, really puts the sting into collecting Shepard's prints. Only the strong survive, huh?

OK ... so I use PayPal Express Checkout ... which has worked fine for prior Obey print drops ... but not this time (probably due to massive traffic jam).brintoul wrote:Please see here: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd= ... ingStarted" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;jak88 wrote:Same here ... 45 minutes trying to do final click after PayPal ... and finally reached an empty cart.swellstylez wrote:brintoul wrote:I submitted with the Paypal token like 100 times and never saw the final submit.

When it comes back, and you hit submit, it removes the print from the OG cart's inventory.jak88 wrote:OK ... so I use PayPal Express Checkout ... which has worked fine for prior Obey print drops ... but not this time (probably due to massive traffic jam).brintoul wrote:Please see here: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd= ... ingStarted" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;jak88 wrote:Same here ... 45 minutes trying to do final click after PayPal ... and finally reached an empty cart.swellstylez wrote:brintoul wrote:I submitted with the Paypal token like 100 times and never saw the final submit.

BUT question remains: why does OBEY need us to come back to their page just to click "confirm."
According to PayPal, in its Express Checkout work flow, "The buyer can then proceed to review the order on your site. You can include other necessary checkout steps."
BUT there really are no other "necessary checkout steps". All that can be done BEFORE we are sent to PayPal, making it the final step for payment. Done and done.
