Reviews and Complaints

OK here ya go... I found this on Facebook of all places.
http://idek.net/LUn
Then as you see that pulls this site:
http://thetimesnewsonline.info/rfb/JobsNewsIsWorking.htm
But watch this... If you take out all of the links above and just enter the main domain:
http://thetimesnewsonline.info
SAME SITE!
Every link on the page point to the same place and when you go there and make a purchase (as I being an idiot did). You get what they are advertising except, you pay member fees (they don't tell you that until you make the $1.95 purchase. AND You do NOT make money. They just clean your account out!
Get rid of your cards if they have the number and file a complaint with your bank ASAP!
Also, don't bother calling the [protected] or [protected]. Everyone there is foreign (India) ALSO another proof that it's a scam. They hang up on you, put you on hold and never answer the phones.

They run under several different company names.

I just filed a complaint with the FTC this evening about PayPal refusing to release my money that was paid to me by the buyer until 3 days after the buyer receives the item, which I had to pay for out of pocket to ship & they also have my goods now. THEFT!

You need to do more then just complain on here. File a complaint with the FTC. Also file a complaint with your state's consumer affairs website as well as California's.

On June 6th, 2009 I authporized $1.95 to be removed from my account to purchase the ebay success CD DEBIT CARD PURCHASE AT EBAYWEB, [protected], CY ON 060209 but then they continued to take funds from me that were not authorized like this one on June 8th, 2009 DEBIT CARD PURCHASE AT EBAYWEB, [protected], CY ON 060509 for the amount of $39.95 then again on June 22nd for $12.95 PRE-AUTHORIZATION DEBIT AT EBAYWEB, [protected], ON 062209. I under no conditions agreed to any other funds being removed from my account other than the @1.95 on the 6th of June. I did finally get an answer on the phone today the 22nd to complain and to cancel anything else from Ebay ever and will return this stupid CD as well I don't know who I spoke with on the phonebut I couldn't understand half whathe said and I thought he was rude especially when I wanted that money refunded because all I wanted was the CD to see if it was something I wanted to do but not anymore.

Here is their number...[protected].

You have to be blunt and demanding, AND make sure you insist they cancel ALL their "programs" you may have accidently signed up for, or they will continue to bill you for them.

They have 3 programs, one for $49.95 and dove tailed in are 2 others, at $12.95 and $9.95.

I just had my cc charged 12.95 from bonus craigs. What happen was I sighned up for info for a free fovernmebt grant kit and for shipping the program charges you $1.95 this was in june. July 18 I look at my bank statement and there are charges for 12.95 and for 39.95 for a membership to the program, but I had called and cancelled my membership the same day because I decided that I did not need the kit. So I called the lady (bridgette) At [protected]. She knew that I cancelled because it said so in her records and also when I cancelled She was the same person I talked to. She did not want to refund me my money so I had to really tell her like look I cancelled my membership you have no right to charge my cc for those amounts. It took me an hour to get the lady to refund my cc but she did. Now she tells me when I go to hang up that my cc will be charged 9.95 cc fraud and security program that they have I told her you can not charge my cc for that program none of those charges are listed on the website and you do not have my permission to charge that amount she refused to refund the 9.95. I could not get this women to give me my 9.95 back but she did refund the 39.95 and 12.95.

I had the same thing happen. I paid $1.95 for information on making money with Google and was signed up for ID Shield and apparently bonuscraigs. I canceled my subscription after learning how much it would actually cost for the service. I also called the numbers provided to cancel the additional named services and was assured that I would not be charged anything. This was obviously untrue as two charged in the amounts of $9.95 and $12.95 are now on my bank statement. I had to cancel my bank card to insure that no more charges would be taken from my account. I am so angry!

I have also just found some credit card charges from bonus craigs and another from ID shield! What the heck is going on?

#File a complaint about them at www.FTC.gov

Hello i just went though the same thing what the hell does trial basis mean the day i got it was the day i was charged cant get them on the phone or my $$$ back stay away from here nothing but a headache and haven't even reviewed this

they charged my debit card $39.95 and i didn't authorizie any charges to my account

It's a total GAMBLE purchasing from Half.com. They don't accept PayPal - which is fishy in and of itself, because they are a company sponsored by eBay - and yet eBay accepts PayPal!

Another problem with Half.com is that their Buyer Protection Policy is sketchy! Their policy states that you can only file 3 claims EVER! So -- what happens if you're a frequent buyer, and ya get screwed more than 3 times -- what, you just have to suck it up - and take the loss? Also -- customer service is practically nonexistent on that site!

I bought a book from half.com I never received the book and they took my money . I tried to contact them, sent severals e-mail, but did not reveived my refund back . Please do not order anything from them .they are big scamm

My story is similar to both of these so I wil not bore you with all of the details. After receiving the CD (which is as useless as a drink coaster) I noticed a disclaimer at the bottom of the web page where I ordered this piece of turd from. There is more fine print on there than on a new car leasing contract from Ford! I went ahead and called these idiots (which are in a 3rd world country by the way) and they told me that my "subscription" was cancelled at my request. Come to find out, one month later they tried to charge me $1.95 again. I went to Bank of America and they told me that they were very familiar with these people. Their scam is this...
1.) They get you to commit to a small shipping and handling fee for some sort of 'too good to be true' internet work at home business.
2.) After you submit your information to them via the web, they make the small debit/credit charge from your account in the amount of $1.95 assuring them that they now have access to your money.
3.) After you receive your useless CD in the mail, you realize that it was a usless attempt on your behalf to get involved in something like this but you tell yourself, "yea, but it only cost me just shy of two bucks...oh well".
4.) Now is when these idiots submit numerous charges from several of their shelf companies to make debits/charges to your crredit/debit card leading you on an endless goose chase calling the dead end numbers on your credit/debit card statement.

The best way to deal with this is to simply go into your bank or call your credit card company and tell them that you want to change your account information. It took me literally five minutes to take care of it. It's amazing how companies like this get away with ripping people off. I'm sure that's the reason for doing business from a another country. ###!

look here http://www.eauctionsuccesssystem.com/members-area/#content
they sell you a cd with the same thing you read on this site
see also http://eauctionsuccessystem.com/step4.php for chargings
they don

The exact same situation happened to me. It all started on 4 June 2009. With a fraudulent charge from realtystore.com. I had another from QAULITYHEALTH. The common thread here seems to be the Ebay Success System CD scam. I also received the CD and an attempt to charge me. I also started receiving phone calls from telemarketers the same day.
Like you, I did not order any of these products. I had no interest in any of them and had never been to any of the websites.

I called and spoke with someone at the EBAYSS customer service to get a refund and make sure there would be no further bogus orders. She also tried to get additional information from me. I also refused and asked a series of my own questions. They claimed that I was online at mid-night on a Sat night and ordered their product. She was more than willing to prove it by supplying me with the IP address of the computer that I supposedly used to make this purchase. The interesting thing is that that IP address (209.104.216.5) is within the same network as the website server (209.104.216.28).
There is definitely something very wrong going on here. I canceled my cards and changed my bank account today. I am not taking any more chances.

I gave my cc# for the $1.95 shipping for a "free kit" only to be charged $40.95 a week later. First I called Ebay, who has no idea who this company is, then called the 800# on my bank statement. Was told by a rude young lady that there is a 3 day trial period to read the website then you will be charged $40 a month after that for a membership. I still have not received anything in the mail, nothing tangible suggesting this company exists. Please do not respond to emails for online jobs, or anyone claiming to be affiliated with Ebay. They are not.

i TOO WAS DECEIVED BY THIS COMPANY. CONTACT YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND FILE A FRAUD COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM. THAT'S WHAT I DID. THEIR CHARGES WERE NOT HONORED.

The same thing happened to me also. I was charged $1.98, then 3 days later I was charged $39.95, and still haden't received the cd that they were talking about. I called to cancel, they wouldn't let me, and said that they can't refund any money because I didn't call in the 3 day trial period. I called on the 4th day of the trial period. Also I din't find any of the information useful, and when talking on the phone to them, if you can get through, they are rude, and don't help you. I am really frustrated with this, and am not working, so I can't be having them stealing money from me!

The same thing happened to me, i just got my bank statement and there are two charges one for 1.20 and one for 39.95 which i did not agree too. You people should make it clearer on you adds about these extra charges. Now i know the secret to your success system, that is to rip people off. When ever anyone tell's you that something is free, and then charges you for shipping and handling, then IT IS NOT FREE. Roy Luevano

On your bank or credit card statement there should be a phone number with the charge. Call the number and tell them you only wanted the product (disk/software) that you purchased and do not want the service that they charged you extra for and to cancel it and refund your money. This worked for me.

how can i get this charged reversed, i did not sign up for anything?

The same thing has happened to me. I thought because it was for ebay that such a large organization would police the use of their name so poeple wouldn't be scammed. They don't! I purchased the Ebay starter kit for under $3 from The Seller's Lounge and then lost almost $70 from an unauthorized charge by the AuctionMasters.net a UK company whose support email is now invalid. Ebay shoudl post a warning on their home page blinking / flashing and email all their customers about this scam and go to the national news to help curb internet scamming.

Mr. Maiolo is correct in that eBay's seeming tolerance towards scammers on their website is costing their honest users a lot of money. I have thought many times of using eBay to buy or sell items but, I have heard and read of so many negative experiences that I have chosen that it's not worth the risk.

[protected] A $3, 000 Internet Marketing system plus the cost of advertising. Anthony & Mr Lungren (spelling?). One is "qualified" first to see if you can afford program. Credit is asked. House ownership is asked. Commitment to "the program and investing in yourself" is confirmed prior to additional callback from a higher level personnel to continue. An email followup forthcoming - nothing received yet. Just keep this in mind: You get a call from someone you don't know from an unknown number with offers to coach online and on phone only w/no references offered on the spot or where they are calling from and asking you to give a credit card # for $3, 000 over the phone. All from something you ordered online months ago that may or may not be true. Your number was obtained from an "opportunity seaker" list. Doesn't make sense does it? See: http://www.ftc.gov/multimedia/video/scam-watch/fraud-inside-look.shtm Hold on to your dreams. Believe in yourself. Do not give any money to someone that you can't visit, shake their hand, or reference at better business bureau (BBB).

Wow, Im glad i checked this out. I thought this was a great sounding job. i do sell on ebay i dont sell as much as i would like to, so this sounded like a really great deal and from ebay itself must be legit i thought. I hate to hear that this was a big scam and you all lost a lot of hard earned money. You did how ever save me and probally 100s of other people like us from loosing money on this scam. i fell for the cheap merchant account to save money and had to close my bank business account because they kept charging and double charging me on sales and boogus fees. Research everything now adays.i think i have done about 4 or 5 searches tonite onebat success system before i found this site and i was this close - to trying it. I dont see why ebay hasnt closed these guys down i will send then all the info on this company hopefully they will check it out

I purchased a Google Success Kit a week ago and was charged $77.00 after paying $1.97. There is a trial period of seven days. If you cancel during the trial period, you will recieve a full refund. The number to call is [protected] (Google). I also canceled two other trials that I recieved via email after paying the $1.97 (Rebate Millionaire and Network Agenda). Their contact information was located in the email that was sent to me. Bottom line, I quickly canceled during the trial periods of all three to receive a full refund. I hop this helps.

I signed up to ebay about a month ago, and was subject to and experienced the Ebay/Paypal Monopoly first hand. I did not want to use Paypal to accept payments as I already have my own merchant account with First Data and they are half the price of Paypal. When listing my first item, I scrolled to the part where it asked how I would like to be paid. I un-checked Paypal, and checked credit card. On the next screen it said that in order to accept credit cards I had to fax a copy of my merchant account invoice to them to prove to them that I can support this method of payment. I faxed them the necessary documents, and the games began. 2 days went by and no message from them about what was going on. Then I called them and was asked why I did not want to use paypal, and that it is the preferred payment of ebay. I explained to them my situation, and they said they would look into the situation, and they would get back to my via email. I waited another 2 days, and nothing. I called them again, and they brought me to the listing page, and they walked me through and told me to click Paypal for payments accepted, and I told them I did not want to accept Paypal, and they were dumbfounded and did not know what to do. They knew nothing about how to integrate my merchant account. They told me I have to wait for T&S to contact me. The next morning I called them again, and was once again told to just use Paypal and recieved a pitch on how they were safe and secure. I asked to speak to a manager, and they told me the manager was not available. I then called again and they finally got to the bottom of things. I listed a couple of items, and after the first one ended, the buyer told me there was no way for him to pay. I called ebay again and they told me there was a "Pay Now" button in the email that was automatically sent to them after the auction ended. The buyer told me there was nothing there. I got this same response from every winning bidder that day. I called ebay and they once again told me that I should accept Paypal for payments until they get the situation fixed. I told them I would not pay for the listing fees so far and they told me I have to pay them, and that it is like listing an ad in the paper and the listing fees are non-refundable. The next day they told me that they fixed the problem, and then I listed a couple items, and everything seemed to be good, until the first auction was down to the last minute. The account was blocked by Paypal, and I was informed that they needed more information on my Paypal account in order for the account suspension to be lifted. I called ebay and they told me the block was from Paypal. I called Paypal and they asked for my SS# and receipts for the items I was selling. I told them I never opened a Paypal account, and they told me regardless, they would still need the information in order to lift the suspension, and until then, the account would remain blocked. I called Ebay and they told me there was in fact a Paypal account linked to my ebay account and that there was nothing they could do. Now, I NEVER opened a Paypal account nor did I link it to my ebay account. To me, this is yet another shady desperate attempt by Ebay to force new members that do not know any better to use Paypal to accept Paypal so they can make money from every angle. When I call them and tell them this whole scenario, they ask me if there is anything they can help me with, otherwise the phone call will be disconnected. They no longer respond to my email regarding this and they told me that if I keep contacting them through ebay live chat that they would bring up charges for Harassment. What a way to run a company. I also notice that when you post ANY negative comments about ebay that are valid in the ebay forums, the comments are removed and you are banned from posting in their forums. They are trying to cover up anything negative about their company, but truth be told..., check out Ebay and Paypal on the Better Business Bureau and see all the complaints they have since January. There are well over 10, 000 of them. Ebay soon will be a thing of the past and they will continue to lose thousands of members a week to Amazon, just like me.

It's not just these guys... 1-800-flowers.com has the same small print. I've spent hours getting these charges off my credit card. If you have trouble, tell them you'll do a chargeback. They hate that as they have to pay if you even put one in. Good luck and let's all be smarter going forward.

I'm so angry with myself for falling for this as well, and I am also in the middle of trying to cancel my membership and get my money back. I was given a number to call and contact them which is [protected]. I was told it was 24 hours, but I have only called once and they said it was after hours. I am going to keep trying and I wish you all good luck with trying to end this horrible ordeal.

I have spent this whole week, after telling "Shane Jones", no, I did not want the system, and not answering morning and evening telephone calls, feeling vulnerable and harrassed at the same time by ebay success systems. Now my credit card has been charged with the $39.95 and I have had no answer to my trying to cancel the service. I am working it out with my credit card company to disallow the charges. Be careful and beware: two telephone numbers he was calling from were [protected] and [protected].
I feel foolish but thank you to others who shared what happened to them.

your absolutely right the ebay success system is a total ripoff, they took me for over$100. and the only way i got it to stop was to cancel the credit card that i gave them

Unfortunately, I fell for this myself. I got nothing for my money and they would not refund it.

I also fell for this scam. I need to get my money back and I am having a hard time to do so. But thanks for the info that some of you gave. I appreciate it. Shouldn't we all pool together and file a class action law suit against them? Even if we don't get anything back at least they would lose millions of $$$. And by the way, does anybody ever see a $3.00 charge on your bank statement for foreign exchange fee? The same phone# they give the bank that I see on my bank statement is the same ph# provided for the $3.00 charge. Ebay Success keep on denying knowing anything about this charge, but I think they are still responsible. It is their responsibility to investigate who is using their system to charge $3.00. They will have to refund me my $3.00 as well.

I have just had the same experience with EBAY's half.com only I ordered a book, and was charged for it and never received it. I am having the hardest time trying to get help from the customer service. Maybe the whole company is just a big scam! I just assumed because it has EBAY's name associated with it that it was safe. I was wrong.

I wish I would have seen this before buying from them. Scam company! They don't respond to emails or refund your money when you get a defective product. They also make you pay the shipping cost of their defective product! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!

I recently purchased an item from km electronics from ebay and i have been using ebay for years and sold on ebay for about 5 years and never had to deal with such a bunch of inconsiderate ###s their customer service sucks they dont give a crap . i waiting bidded and won and recieved a broken item and instead of replacing it they siad send it back lose your send back shipping and bid on another one and hope to win .. the basically told me in emails they dont give a ### i would recomend not using them ...here is the item ..New BlueAnt Q2 Bluetooth Stereo Earpiece Multipoint A2DP Text-to-Speech PLATINUM it was broken and all i asked for was a replacmentand i would send back the broken one but i gave them hell opened a case reported them but my advise would be stay away cause all they are are rip off artist and a big head ache

I purchased a Cellular South :New" Samsung R350 Freeform cell phone from KM-Electronics that did not work when it was activated. The phone would not recognize any sd card that was put into the phone. I returned the phone with paperwork that said I would get a full refund. However, I am still waiting. Do not purchases from Km-Electronics they do not stand behind what they sell and there is no way to contact them other than thru ebay, but it has to be before within 60 days of your purchase.

Yes, KM electronics needs to pay more attention to detail when it comes to dealing with customers.
I bought a "new" Motorola H720 bluetooth headset from them. I received the headset in a small plastic bag and not in new packaging. It would not take a charge. I emailed them and to their credit they responded within hours. I returned the headset at my cost and they sent me a second headset. That headset also was not in new packaging and it had the same malfunction as the first, it would not take a charge. I emailed them and let them know about it. It appeared that they had sent the same headset that I had returned but they denied that. You would think that if they cared about customer satisfaction that they would have at least checked the functionality of the headset. I told them that I wanted a complete refund and that the second headset was on its way back to them. They refunded the BASE price and not the shipping. And they had the gall to request positive feedback. I wrote them back and explained that positive feedback was not going to happen for a couple of reasons. They had not given me a total refund and I was out a total of $21 for return shipping and had nothing to show for it. Then they refunded the original shipping charge and requested through Ebay that the transaction be canceled. Little did I know that the reason for that was so that I could not leave a feedback. They would certainly have received a negative feedback had they not initiated that cancellation request.

I AGREE! Do not buy from KM Electronics! I Purchased a phone on ebay from them and they sent me one that didn't have a keypad light. I demanded an exchange and was sent a phone that worked but was used, dirty, scratched, and the moisture sticker was already pink. I again demanded an exchange and they sent me another phone that didn't have a keypad light. I then explained to them that i would send the phone back and wanted a full refund, they agreed. 2 weeks after i sent the phone back i still hadn't received a refund. I emailed them and they claimed that they never received the phone. Funny how they received three returned defective phones from me but not the final one. I have filed a claim with paypal hoping to get my $200.00 back. DO NOT BUY FROM KM ELECTRONICS

If the buyer had less feedback and left you neutral feedback, you can ask for it to be removed to eBay by mentioning upfront that you are writing in for feedback removal. When you do this, this becomes a Trust and safety (T&S) issue and the customer support cannot answer it by copy pasting an answer. It may take time to receive a reply if you do not go through the right channel. Also, if the buyer has communicated with you via eBay or email, you can also mention this and if there is a little sign of satisfaction from the buyer, the T&S can see this and remove the feedback. Please understand, even though the feedback is neutral, it is still counted as negative. So either you'll receive a positive feedback or negative feedback. There is no such thing as neutral feedback. I would have attached a web page for direst feedback removal channel, but it would ask you to sign in first and that is not safe. So I would like you to browse help cause all the answers the customer support gives are in Help files. The only help customer support gives is by forwarding your email to the right department which takes action.

They have a com- on ad for their program, that professes $0 investment, & a free kit if you answer qualifying questions. You put in credit card info to pay postage only, & THEN find out afterward that they will charge your card $40/mo. Their phone number simply puts you on hold. The phone number my bank provided is always busy thus, thus you can not call to cancel.

This company is a TOTAL scam! First off, this product was bought with my bank card...but not by me. After being on hold for 15 minutes they were very quick to tell me that they will take me off the list and not charge me any furthur...but then when told NO I want the original charge taken off...I was put on hold for another 15 mins! When I finally got a guy he proceeded to tell me that I was charged 1.95 on the 16th of June and 39.99 on 16th as well. But, my bank statement read that I was charged 1.98 on the 23rd and 40.99 on the 24th. The guy did some looking and really had no idea why there was a delay and why I was charged more than the original price. He said "i THINK it's because it's an international company so they tacked on more money to cover transfer costs" ... OH REALLY! So, here's the kicker... not only are they charging more than the actual costs to people that haven't authorized any of this, they are also ONLY able to refund the 39.99. Apparently no one in the office has authorization to credit back the total amount! So, if they do this to 100 people...that business just made 100+ dollars! You can guarantee that I WILL get my 3.00 back. It's not that I want the 3.00 back, I just don't want them to keep it!

For you to get your money back dispute it with your bank and ask for an immediate new card. I had this problem with other companies as well where they charged 400.00 together in one month without my knowledge.

My bank refunded my money investigated and immediately gave me a new card and pin. this stopped them from recieving my money immediately. Hopt this helps. wants anymore information email me at ladyofthedarkdusk@yahoo.com.
thanks!

Free? ja ja ja ja ja stupid thing! I canceled and they still charging me 39.99 dollars on my credit card!

I want my money back!

I am so annoyed with Ebay and Pay Pal. I wish there was a better website with the same amount of traffic. I am so bitter at them!

Yes, it's a scam, and I am not sure why it is even legal. A while back you could use other payment options, like USPS Money Orders or even Personal Checks. Not anymore! You sell an item for $50 bucks and charge the buyer $5 for S&H, and you need to pay to post any additional (after the first) photos, and for anything to make it look nice and appealing. That will cost you a buck or two. Then if it sells the ebay charges you 9% of the final fee PLUS 9% of the shipping, so if the total $55.00 you will be charged like 5.00 by Ebay's final fees. Then you have not choice and receive the payment via Paypal - MiINUS another $5.00. Then you buy a shipping material for another $2, $3 or $4 - depending on the stuff you sold. And then to ship the cheapest way you might end up paying a whopping $10 or more (I recently send some stuff using the regular mail that weigh just a hair over 1 lb, they charged me $11.20!). Well, let's say you are charged just 6 for the shipping. So, in the end you get what? [protected]=$35! I personally think this monopoly is just a blatant way to overcharge regular folks who's trying to make a little profit. And now they've come up with BILL ME Later - new name, but in fact it sounds like just another arm of this greedy monster - Yeah! Let's make money on percentages and late fees as well! The circus would be complete if they also had their own Delivery Service and would prohibit people use USPS or UPS.

Ebay and Paypal are known for stealing money and hijacking accounts for long periods of time. I sold a 100lb Pot Belly stove, and they held the funds until the item was confirmed delivered. I called paypal and asked them how I was supposed to send the stove without the $150 in shipping charges that they were also holding. They told me to contact the buyer and explain the situation to them and ask them to leave positive feedback asap to release the funds. I did so, and the buyer told me they no longer wanted the stove and that they thought I was a scam. They left feedback stating "SCAM-asks for positive feedback before you receive item"
This was my first feedback. Paypal really screwed me-first I lost a sale, and a customer, and tons of potential buyers as this was the first and only feedback I had, and ebay refused to remove it.
Ebay and Paypal are also widely known for having a monopoly where they do anything they can to discourage sellers who choose to use anything but Paypal in an effort to force them to use Paypal to accept payments so they make more money. This is a well known scam and monopoly.
Sell on Amazon and avoid ebay and Paypal at all costs!

Till this day, no response from eBay. Absolutely disgusting that they do this to sellers. Give sellers no hope of making money with them. They just charge you up the wazoo in fees and then they kick you off when they please. Mother, mother may I have some more with pickles and cheese? I change it up like Walter Reese in dis bish. Through it up and flip it down, like a hamburger made on the b low downtown. Got to rip it up and rip it good, does eBay give a hoot? Why would they would when they can take your money and give you the boot.

Don't waste your time, just ended buying more accounts here: www.auctionessistance.com/shop

eBay also suspended my account too with no reason behind it. They refuse to reinstate my account after several emails. Absolutely ridiculous.

Had to use these people to help me get back on: www.auctionessistance.com/shop

I pretty much gave up all hope that eBay would reinstate me. It has been nearly 6 months since I got a response from them.

Instead of them wasting my time, I went ahead and contacted Auction Essistance to help me get back on. So far so good, but who knows the BS eBay will pull next.

I found the above text on the internet and repost it here.

There is a forum I found on the internet that is free, and helps with Ebay, PayPal, business and the law. Just post any question, the experts will answer it if it has not already been answered!

The forum has a lot of expert advice on it. http://www.modeeworld.com/forums I found advice there about how to avoid EBAY suspensions, get past PayPal limitations, also lots of detailed help on creating your own business, getting past trademark violations, VERO and lots more. Plus general advice on how best to sell on EBAY, what sells the best, how to get the best price for your product, really everything related to EBAY and internet business.

Also advice about how EBAY really works and how PayPal really works. The inside scoop.

Beautiful forum. I was made a moderator of the forum and I love it!

Have you considered that no human ever saw or responded to your email? My friends and I concluded a few years ago that eBay must use an AI engine for communications and responses to arbitration. Even employees rejected as too dumb by fast food joints would provide answers that make more sense that people often get from eBay!

The more word data you input to an Plain language AI engine the less likely the engine can handle it or provide a response that makes sense.

Just do as scam sellers do. Sign back up under a different name. If you want to use Paypal, just get permission from your kid or your kid sibline and use their name for registration. Works for scammers.

make a new account with new email! its easy i did!
