Project refund, moving forward...
By GreenBulb

Hi Backers,

This message bring some bad news regarding this XStylus project.

Despite my effort and Kickstarter’s effort to contact the last backer for the transfer of payment since the completion of this project, we have receive no reply so far. It is a flaw in Kickstarter's system to have allowed someone without enough funding to complete pledge. Kickstarter has admitted the flaw in their business platform and here’s their response below:

...

K: I'm sorry Elton. If you've contacted him to see what's up and haven't heard a reply, it might be an unsalvageable decline. I see the pledge came in with just 7 hours left on the project, so this makes it difficult to track suspicion with so few hours left. It's an unusual case and we regret that it's marred your ability to carry out the project. If you indeed cannot carry out the project with the funds received, then backers will need to be refunded, and this is doable through Amazon.

E: Yes, I also notice that bad pledge was added 7 hours before the end of the fundraising. We may have a different standard, to me 7 hours is a lot of time, especially when everything is done electronically. If time is not enough for Kickstarter / Amazon Payments to figure out if there is a problem with a backer's bank account, it should not even allow the pledge to be added to the sum. If this happened to me, it can very well happen to other project creators. This is a big flaw in the Kickstarter fundraising platform, you may or may not be aware of this but I have come to know of this situation on the expense of my reputation.

K: You are correct, this is a problem and we will work on refining processes and systems so that this kind of thing cannot happen again. Your case was a rare one but we're aware that situations like yours demand attention. We appreciate your understanding and feedback, and truly regret that you're in this situation.

....

Not to dwell over something neither Kickstarter and I can change, I will be processing a refund within a week and please accept my apologies for the inconvenience and disappointment caused. I have asked Kickstarter to issue an apology to you but my request has fallen onto deaf’s ears. So, please accept my sincere apologies and hope that your “internet crowdfunding” experience will not end here.

To move forward, I have started a new project on indiegogo.com/XStylus-Crayon. It is similar to Kickstarter, except that this will allow me to have the payment upfront to avoid further non payments. If you are still interested in getting the XStylus for your DSLite, please go ahead and support my project as this version of the touch pen will equally fit into your game console (3DS, DSLite and DSi).

On this note, thank you once again for your support and I hope to get the XStylus into your hands soon.

Best,

Elton
