Reports are coming in of Hundreds of people filling PayPal disputes against oneplus for the yellow band issue.
And in one case we received a conversation with a customer and PayPal in which PayPal assures the customer they will get a refund because quote “We have placed a hold against these funds”
If PayPal has frozen the funds from OnePlus it could be the end of that company. Its one thing to lose money in a recall etc for bad devices and a whole other issues to have your merchant freeze funds.
We will keep updating this story as more info comes in, But right now its really not looking good for OnePlus.
Have you filed a PayPal dispute? Let us know in the comments below and whether you got your money back.
TK Tech News 
OnePlus still silent in front of an almost 200 pages thread …
And growing
When they hold funds its for the amount the seller disputed, and only for that case unless otherwise specified. This means nothing.
When they lock an account its all the funds
Do you have any source except for that screenshot of 1 (ONE!) guy disputing to PayPal? You are talking about 100’s of people??
Yes they are on the forums and we over 30 alone
You said 100’s? Quite a bit different.
So now 30 people means hundreds and a class action lawsuit? This site is becoming such a joke. It was cool at first but I’m getting sick of these blown out of proportion articles and BS conspiracy theories just here for hits and to make a decent company look bad.
And I bet this comment wouldn’t go through if I didn’t call you guys hypocrites for not allowing negative comments. Rofl.
Actually genius if youve been watching twitter just today alone 42 people have reported the volume missing issue. So looks like your a sad fanboy who is ill informed.
And have you been checked lately for mental health issues? Im just saying you must have a direct line to their imaginary support that no one else has access to.
As for conspiracy theories if youre into that go watch alex jones. We only report facts. And heres the facts genius. OnePlus is in alot of trouble with PayPal for one and could be facing a class action lawsuit. But you would know that being your where you i.p. address is from. I find it hilarious that OnePlus is so worried about this they send employees to comment. Thats hysterical.
As for censoring comments lol thats what OnePlus does not us.
I like when people like you make baseless comments. Ill let our readers tear you apart.
So yes they have had their account locked. Just ask them
So, no prove from you? Did you ask Oneplus (and did they respond)? Or did you ask PayPal (and did they respond)?
OnePlus just banned me for posting negative things about Yellow Pissed screen. Wow. Just wow. They are worse than I thought. Scums.
Wow can you post screenshots of your banned email
There was no e-mail.
I just can not log in to the forum using the same ID.
I got banned because I was joking about the yellow screen BS. Wanna know the official reason? RACISM.
Of course I got no email or official explanation, but I’m sure this was David S’s doing. Like another user said, he probably has a God complex. He just doesn’t realize that in a company, managing a forum is pretty much like taking out the trash.
If you give me your email address I can link you the thread + screenshot of the login screen saying “Racism”.

Doctoryoo after you got banned they banned me as well for 1 month.
Screen shot banned reason when you try to log in. They banned me for conspiracy theory. If there is any conspiracy theory is from oneplus.
In the meantime they’re running one of their contests again.It’s ridiculous.
I cancelled my order, after I heard about this nonsense, and got my refund. Not to mention that shipping, taxes and other fees brought the price of the phone to almost $500, for me in Canada.
I’m so happy I cancelled.
I think this is a bit of a reach. There have been a few documented cases – that’s all. My device is 100% perfect, and I for one and thrilled with it.
Anyone care to link to the forum post mentioned in this article? I can’t find it on the oneplus site.
So TK what happened to you speaking to an attorney hmm? I guess that never happened.
Actually genius you can insert foot in mouth now. Video going up today bankrupts them. As a class action is coming and they are out of money. Now what
Well I’m hoping it does make sort of an impact on them to get their shit together.
I wonder if this will making a working model (no yellow screen) that much more valuable.
I paid for express shipping back when their website had the error and they sent my package standard and took over 9 days from CA to FL. All I wanted was refund for that which they declined. Filed paypal dispute, and they want me to send my phone to Hong Kong, and pay premium shipping too.
Oh yeah, mine suffers from the yellow at the bottom as well.
TK, I’ve realy enjoyed your Moto X+1 stories and videos but even if this article is true, it’s very light on evidence and quotes.
Take a look at this, fuckn hilarious: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/no-volume-button.63191/#post-2933432
Wow. Not looking good
hey TK David S. is calling out on you

New video in 15 minutes where i tear him apartment
Apart typo
Which videos are you talking about TK? Could I find them on your channel in youtube?
They were removed
guts, never settle
Hey TK, have you seen this post?
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/i-dropped-my-oneplus-one-long-read.64063/
I’m just wondering now why no one else is really talking about this? Like it’s such a popular phone you’d think it would get more press..
Maybe other people took the payoff or free phones who knows
I had a small area of yellow at the bottom, its faded quickly and may soon be gone completely. I’m pretty sure it is just the last of the glue drying, not a biggie.
Glad your issues is resolving itself
I have the yellow band too. Funny hearing about other people NOT having the same problem. Logic would dictate then that if some people don’t have the intrusive yellow band on their phone, then it isn’t part of the design as OnePlus states it is. Makes sense if some phones don’t have it then the phones that do are slightly defective and should be replaced of fully refunded without any fees like shipping.
Why is everyone making such a big deal about this? It’s not a big deal. Leave it out in the sun for a couple hours. You paid HALF of what you would have for a device with similar specs AND got more storage! They’re a new company! Whether they’re “backed” by OPO or not, which in my opinion doesn’t matter in any way AT ALL, they’re a new company and they will make mistakes. Their newest batch of devices does not have this issue. Their Tech Support was THE BEST I’ve ever experienced from any company. These whiney douchebags are going to put the company who SUPPORTS THEIR CURRENT PHONE in the drain because they’re too lazy to put their phone under a UV lamp for 20 minutes!? Way to ruin it for everybody. Sick of first world problems. Such a whiney, bratty society we live in. Get over it, people. Mine had the yellow band too before I took an hour to fix it. Freaking idiots.
Thanks for the comment.
Sticking a phone under a light will not fox a missing volume button, nor will it fix a missing headphone jack. Just saying that seems to be the new issues. But thanks for the comment
Regardless as to the cost of the device people have spent their money for a fully functioning product. Why should the consumer be left with the burden of rectifying any issues the device may have? Doesn’t make ANY damn sense to me. Hell for a similar price point and specs they could just as easily purchase a fully functional Nexus 5 or Moto X for that matter. Ijs
So because the device is less expensive than an LG G3 or Galaxy S5 I should cook it outside for a few hours or have to go to a nail salon and get permission the put my phone under a UV light? You serious? Please re-read your post because it really makes no sense. I think if they would simply replace the phones with the yellow bands they wouldn’t be getting negative attention. Or maybe before they ship the phones out they could cook them outside in the sun or go to a nail salon.
Upgrade your G2 to 4.4.2 already.
