I asked them via email for an explanation and got this answer:

Perplexing. I tried to buy twice without success. Since I ended up paying $15 in fees, I have to wonder if they are not milking it. Perhaps too many "scams" in my head.

yoybuy was working quite hard for my 15$.
9 purchase attempts from 5 agents, 12 Chat messages and 6 Emails.

Last remaining scam propability is from taobao seller side just pretending to be sold off, hoping to make big bucks with what they are resting theyr balls on.

And, if you want to go the prometheus route, paypal surely fully refunds if you show the timing of the twitter advertisement and your purchase attempts in a dispute

But on the other hand:

Science can also admit when it was wrong.

I think I might buy another Lastu tablet case today. They're available in many different variations than the original Jolla one.

Pretty much agree with what folks are saying. Clearly, there is a problem when you throw humans in the mix!
It does worry me that, for some, science can become a religion and turn into dogma. Science is a human construct. It is carried out and interpreted by humans and as a consequence should never be trusted. Fortunately, by design, all scientific results can and should be repeatably tested and verified. At some point you develop a certain level of confidence in a result and run with what you got. Of course that does not make the scientific based result exempt from further testing and verification. As process it is probably the best we can do to attempt to understand the world around us and it is self correcting. I might add that it is quite possible, if not likely, we cannot understand the world in a most fundamental way, but that should not stop humanity from trying.

Any bets on whether I get my VW "I'm very sorry" rebate or my tablet refund first?

Now this is poll-worthy.

Just logged in here after years since i had to do my medical degree stuff.Seen jolla a few days back,quite impressed the way sailfish works.If updates come along readily and there is no chance that it turns out to be like maemo etc..I am definitely gonna buy and try jolla as soon as there comes a swift version of sailfish and equally good hardware.
Currently using N900 as main phone and nexus 7 as my main tablet.I actually am considering to change my tablet,i hope jolla comes harder this year and with better sailfish eg without lags and hiccups.
cherios !

Welcome. Hope your medical degree is a done deal!

No updates nor hardware comes along atm.

Jolla is in Scam-mode right now. Nothing comes out of jolla, except some words that never happens in reality.

I just got a 'shipping confirmation' with the tracking code of my Jolla Tablet, which already arrived silently on 29th February.

The shop order status also got updated to 'shipped' now.

So it seems that Jolla is progressing with the orders.
