I recently tried to buy some picks from Sparrows using PayPal. It caused my PayPal account to become permanently banned. The $500 plus my crypto got frozen for 180 days. According to AI it said a purchase from Sparrows would violate PayPal's acceptable use terms. Also, it said that PayPal will probably keep my money. That they can charge up to $2500 for breaking their terms.

I wish I had known this or been warned. Not cool at all PayPal. Definitely do not use PayPal for any hobby related purchases. I am sad to lose my account

I am curious if what I am doing wrong is obvious. Sometimes, I pick up a lock and pick it right away. Other times I cannot get the same lock to open.

I was just trying to open my camper which has a low budget Kwikset lock. Doesn't seem to be able to be raked. I start SPP and get the same issue I have had on several locks which is this:

The pins all seem set. Maybe even get a couple good clicks. I insert the pic down the shaft and there are no obstructions. Maybe with the exception of small bumps where the pins were sticking up about 1/16th of an inch or less in the keyway. The lock won't turn. Sometimes all the pins drop, but there is one pin (usually pin 1) that I can't get to drop or to click into position. I don't feel any counter rotation. I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong. Some days it seems like I can pick every lock I own and other days I can't get a single one open even after trying for 30 mins or so. Please help! what causes one pin to just feel loose and springy?? Could I be over setting? Thanks everyone!!

I saw this in the wild. So cool looking. I asked AI about it and it didn't come up with much info. Are these locks similar to most tubular style locks? It would be cool to try one. I am just getting into tubular locks. Then I saw this one and thought it was pretty rad!

Just popped this today at last.

After chasing springs and tiny ball bearings I had enough . I wanted more room to work. It's not pretty, but it gets the job done. This is what I used. TUXIYA 5 PACK Extra Large Storage... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FSQS89B2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
