My code didn’t work because of the letter ‘x’, I deleted it, wrote it again and it worked, the version sent seemed to have a multiplication symbol rather than a real letter.
That is caused by the way BLF formats messages in its “simple post editor”. If x is in the middle of a number, it’s replaced by a multiplication symbol. This can be avoided by wrapping the text in something to tell it not to do any markup, but people don’t know to do that until after tripping over it a few times.
So, for example:
1x123 has a multiplication symbol
1x123 has a real “x”
The difference? I put a double-equal sign around the second one to turn off formatting.
1x123 becomes 1x123
==1x123== becomes 1x123
My first LT1 ordered via Ebay was shipped today and I received a tracking number.

This happened to me, works now. Thank you!

They’re not in charged of issuing the codes. Only Sofirn is doing it,you’ll just have to check your messages once awhile.

Yeap….Sofirn decided to take over issuing of the Amazon codes. This is their right of course since they are the LT vendor but the downside is that there’s no way to know where they are in the process. Since there’s only 500 LT’s in batch 1 my guess is that there will be a pause in PM’s once they have sold them all. But that’s just my guess so take it as you will
They said that they will sell 3,000 LTs for the group price so anyone currently on the list (right now up to 2,890) will eventually be able to get one at the discounted price.

My experience with Sofirn has been great. Tracy was especially helpful with my order and was prompt to assist.
Thank you.

Thanks TK, I’ve been here a while and never noticed that before!
I transfer money from Paypal to my bank account all the time, and with only two exceptions (when it took a few hours) it has always gone into my account straight away.
