eBay ebay final value fees - doubled!

eBAY IS charging double on what they call "final value fees". A seller is charged an "insertion fee" for being able to list an item as an auction (one fee) and as a buy it now item (another fee). Both fees are insertion fees and make sense. The problem comes when the item is sold. It can only sell ONE way or the other. If an item sells as an auction, the final value fee is a % based on the sell price. However, if the item is sold as a "buy it now" item, then there is a final value fee schedule based on the dollar value of the item sold. I have found that when some of my items sold this way - I was charged BOTH the buy it now final value fee AND the auction % fee - as if it sold as an auction too (which is a much higher fee). THIS IS DOUBLE CHARGING FOR THE FINAL VALUE FEES. When I complained, they DID issue me a credit for all of these items, but informed me that doing further business with them, I would continue to be billed in this manner. However, nowhere on any of their information in customer service or on their websites, does it state that as a seller: 'YOU WILL BE CHARGED BOTH AN AUCTION % FINAL VALUE FEE AND A BUY IT NOW FINAL VALUE FEE' no matter how the item sells. They don't say that because that is double charging for the same service. The insertion fee is paid under BOTH ways because as a seller, you want to give the buyer both options. However, in the final value fee - which is only based on the sold item - they can't charge both fees. It should be based on how it sold and as per their fee schedule. Yes, they try to confuse you. But this is really clear and I wish I knew where to go to get to the appropiate people to complain. I want to continue as a seller, but cannot do so, until they correct this problem. Out of my 16 items sold, which sold for just under $300 (not including shipping charges) they over charged me 8 times for a total of $5.26. I was issued a "one-time" credit because I MADE SENSE! But I was warned that it would not be done again. This is not right and they need to be notified and correct this. The amounts are small and maybe people don't notice - but they should. If you can help me or know where I can go, contact me at [protected]@msn.com. THANK YOU

I contact ebay today,

And i said that i dont use ebay as a delivery Service in any way..

So why are you charging me "Final value fee on postage" i pay (Rayal Mail) for delivery, Not you !

Ebay are not providing me with a postage service.. you are charging me for something that i have already paid Royal Mail for, half way around the world.. This fee is against the Law.

I carried on to explaine.. if i received an email from My 'carpet center'.. how would you like it if i charged you / ebay.. money for that email ?

Reply: "We have nothing to do with your Carpet Center.. Sir"

My Reply:

You have nothing to do with "Royal Mail Postage Costs either"

But you want money for me for using royal Mail..(which is NOT your right, or your company)

I bet (royal Mail) would like to know this.

I am not over charging shipping costs either.. you can check this.. infact i charge slightly under as i am NOT charging for PACKING, Jiffy Bags or Tape Bubbles wrap.

And i have an extra bill of £17.09p for shipping.

HER REPLAY CAUGHT ME OFF GARD !

"No, we cant be charging you for using you own choice shipping company..

That would be stupid"

She was kind and pleasent, and understood my problem,

And told me "THIS IS ONLY AFFECTING THE UK"

I instantly told her "Damn Right,

RIP-OFF BRITON - Only us people will put up with such a stupid thing."

But i don't think this is the case.

She then put me on hold for 8 minutes,

And came back with: "We have lowered the costs of ebay recently and to rectify this old surchage we lable this "shipping Charges" in the invoice.

We charge you for a final fee and then charge the you the extra shipping Charges.

My Reply: But you should not be charging me twice.. thats like charging me VAT twice..

I then went on to say: " If its NOT a Final Charge on Shipping then the WORDING on the invoice needs to change..

Her reply: "THAT A GOOD POINT"

Anyway she said that we have to write a letter EBAY UK / Not email Write to:

eBay (UK) LTD,

P.O. Box 9473.

Dublin 15.

Ireland.

I STRONGLY SUGEST EVERYONE WRITES TO THE ABOVE ADDRESS,

PS, everyone MUST do this.. to get this to work, dont leave it to someone else.. do your part.

Now eBay (as of April 2011) going to be charging final value fees based on ALL charges including any shipping and handling. While it has been an issue for some time how people are allowed to overcharge for shipping, eBay has done everything to curb the small seller to being able to afford to use their services. eBay has no desire for the small store and this is going to more than quintuple the final value fees on such items as listed int he format you commented on.
eBay has NO rights of charging final value fees on Shipping/Handling and Taxes. This is a third party and nothing to do with eBay services. They should have no rights to charge fees based on these amounts specially when many sellers are honest and trying to make products as affordable as possible to the buyer. They already scoop a 3% plus final value fee on the total amounts when the transaction is processed through PayPal. I have a very bad taste in my mouth and will be consulting lawyers here in Canada to pursue this matter on a national level.
Thank goodness there are other auctions sites that are attempting to provide a sound service with more acceptable final value fees such as Bonanzle and eBid. Just wish I could convince buyers to visit there as well.

I agree totally I sold a nice gold ring on e/bay and did not realise that final value fees now at 10% of sale price. Then they paid via p/pal another 3.5 % then the listing fee and insertion fee and photo fees. I have bought and sold an awful lot on e/bay in last 5 years. But you know what no more. I would rather keep the items. Just a note. Amazon are also getting greedy. Sell a book for £5.00 and they take £1.50 off you !. E/bay be warned you are killing the goose that laid the golden egg ie your customers. Shame on you.

eBay bad business practices

I have been a member on Ebay for ten+ years. I've bought as well as sold, having only two issues in all those years. I sold a baby book that the purchaser changed their mind on. I gave them a return, however, upon receiving the book back, it was ruined. It looked like it had been sitting in the rain (possibly on their porch). I contacted Ebay and was told I had to return the money since their was no proof the book looked like that when the buyer received it (the buyer said in feedback that it was received in great condition). I refused and Ebay took the money anyway. I did not sell again for over a year. Last week I sold a couple of pairs of jeans that were non refundable (didn't want to deal with wrong size issues). She wanted a return and opened a case, stating they were not what she ordered. I called Ebay and they said I did not have to give her a return, their were photos and descriptions and I stated no returns. Ebay gave the buyer my phone number, who then left nasty messages on my answering machine. I called her back and told her I would give her a refund upon receiving the jeans back but would not pay for her return shipping. She said ok. I never received the jeans back and the case was escalated by the buyer, saying their were stains on the jeans (this was well over a week later). Ebay issued a refund and I never got the jeans back. I immediately closed my account which according to them, will take 180 days. They have also made it to where you can only leave positive feedback for buyers. If you sell on Ebay, you put your Paypal acct at risk. They will take the money oout, even if you do not agree. They will also give your contact information out without your consent as was done to me.

i feel the same thing. they recently put one product on ebay nikon d5300 with two lens 18-55 & 55-200 . but nowhere they mentioned about warranty.
we are keep trying and calling them that is this product comes with warranty or not. but no one is responding.
they are selling this with extra warranty of their own. $ 120 which means camera cost gonna be like almost 700$ in that same price we can get it from nikon with nikon own warranty. i guess they should mention that this product does not include any warranty. u have to pay 120$ extra for warranty.
or give us few days warranty. but nothing mentioned ..people see price and think oh its cheap lets buy but on the ebay page there is no warranty mentioned so ebay gonna not support. they will say u can not get refund because the seller no where mentioned about warranty. so its your fault that u bought it even though there is no warranty mentioned -- thats what ebay told me when i called them to ask about this product. as seller is not responding.

I bought a Nikon D3300 camera kit which was suppose to include a 300mm lens. I got instead an 80mm lens. They were suppose to check with the shipper, heard nothing. I also sent them pictures of all the lenes that I recieved and they wanted pictures of all the boxes and at that time I did not have them. They are nothing but a rip off and I would not but from them. My credit card company is now involved in this.

eBay major scam and does not protect sellers

I was an ebay seller for a year. I received alot ofpositive feedback, 1 neutral and 1 negative feedback. Ebay suspended my account all of sudden, because i broke their policy. Which one, I still do not know. I was tired of giving them all my profits anyway. I guess they checked my paypal account and found out that I used it to purchase items from China. Why should thisbe a problem, when the majority of ebay sellers are in china. Do they think Chineese sellers import goods from USA to resell? I guess ebay is run by an Asian.

eBay bad seller

Yes, read it and laugh all you want. I hadn’t used EBay for about 2 years and wasn’t aware of how things were working and was in a hurry to get my cash.
Here goes the story. Right.
I’m saving up to build my own computer, so I decided to start selling a few things on eBay.
To start with, my PSP. I put it up on EBay for $350 Buy it Now on Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, I woke up and it had sold. I was happy.
Someone in the US had bought it, and he emailed me his postage address and wanting to know the total price including postage. I emailed him that since it was meant to be posted to Australia only, I would go to the post office and find the costs to the US. So, on Wednesday I go to the Post Office and get the prices. $71.50 for Standard Air Mail, $89.50 for Express Courier and $40.85 for Sea Mail (you can’t send lithium batteries by air).
I emailed him that night (Thursday night) once I got home telling him of the options and the total prices.
I wake up on Friday morning and check my emails. He sent me another email telling me that he wanted the PSP shipped to his friend who is a missionary in Nigeria. I was fine with this, and he told me the prices of postage from the Aus Post website. I was fine with the prices.
Since I had not used PayPal or EBay for about 2 years, I was un-aware of how they worked now. I got an email, which I thought was from PayPal that morning, saying I had an Instant Payment from him and the money would be debited into my account once I had shipped the item and sent the so called ‘PayPal’ the shipment tracking number.
So on Friday, I go to the post office and send it off to the provided address in Nigeria by Sea Mail for around $45.
I get home, and send “PayPal” the shipment tracking number to receive my payment. So called “PayPal” said I would have my money in my account in 24 hours.
On Friday night, I get an email from EBay saying that his account had been hacked and that the listing had been removed. They said not to continue with the transaction.
Then a fake email from EBay came through saying it was OK to go through with the transaction.
I then studied the previous emails I got from so called “PayPal” and discovered they where phony email addresses. [protected]@accountant.com but the name was [protected]@paypal.com, so in my hurried state I thought it was all fine.
I e-mailed PayPal, EBay and advised them of the phony emails.
EBay gladly refunded the $3.69 Listing Fee. Oh joy.
PayPal said they would look into it.
Anyway, on Saturday morning I hurry to the post office to cancel the package.
I get there and asked if I could stop it. They say “Oh sorry, it has already been sent and there is no way we can stop it”. I was like are you serious?
I’ve written up a report and have sent it to the QLD Police, and will soon send it to the Australian Federal Police.
It just disappoints me how people can do this.
I presumed that it was how PayPal worked now (having to send the tracking number for the payment to come through) since I hadn’t used it for so long.
These Nigerians are losers, ###s and people with no lives. It disgusts me.
I’m really pissed off as now my parents now need to help pay for my computer.
Any suggestions on what to do?

eBay false ebay and paisa pay proitection

I had purchased Epson home projector from ebay India with my id nani52k from seller 12c world and paid amount of Rs. 82450 on 1st of Jan 2011. Paisa Pay ID : [protected]. They informed that the product will reach me by 22nd Jan 2011 but I did not received in time. I got the product on 24th Jan. When I opened the product there was no lamp inside the projector. I had complained this to ebay and the seller gave me a message that he will take care and ebay will solve my problem. From then I was sending messages to the seller but no response. I requested the seller to send my original lamp but he did not respond. I had put a claim regarding this to ebay. Almost 20days passed and on 13 the Feb, the claim adjuster told me to send the product back. I had gone to Blue Dart and DTDC courier person to send it back to the seller. They asked the tin number of the seller to send the item. So I informed this to ebay that I want tin number but they have not given. After 3 days the ebay sent me mail stating the claim was closed as I did not return the product back. How can I send the product back without tin number of the seller? I asked them for my original lamp or repayment of the cost of my lamp. But ebay did not keep the commitment of paisa pay protection and cheated me. I want the company to provide my lamp or repay the cost of the lamp.

eBay provides Buyer Protection Fraud in favor seller who keep pay eBay listing fees and PayPal transaction fees that rejected my 79.99 refund request since buyer pay nothng to eBay. PayPal - www.paypal.com is an eBay company.

I did not receive an $79.99 order includes shipping fees that order from a Hong Kong seller though eBay and made payment to Paypal on December 24th 2010.

eBay kept sending the same message that provided from Hong Kong seller who claimed they mailed this order on December 30th 2010 while Paypal transferred 79.99 to Hong Kong on December 29th 2010 and item arrived in New York on Jaunary 8th 2011.

eBay Buyer Protection vs meritline.com and 6Ave.com

I got resnt item from 6 Ave within 3 days after I claimed that I did not receive my order around one years ago. I got my full refund from meritline.com within one day around three months ago. The reason I asked refund beause the item shipped from Hong Kong and I dont want to keep waiting for the other month.

eBay so call Buyer Protection nothing but fraud in favor of seller who keep pay eBay listing fees and PayPal transaction fees.
Never ever care buyer interest.

PS: I deal with meritline.com alreay more than 100 times. A lot of Meritline.com orders are direct shipping from Hong Kong and receive in 3-4 weeks in general.

eBay ebay

ebay does not protect buyers from fraudulent sellers. A verifiable address is not required to do business, so it is impossible to locate these scammers who simply pull up stakes when they are finished stealing from the public. Hong Kong is a huge source of scams. Asian sellers flood the site with defective electronics. By the time you receive your item and the item stops working, it will work for a couple of weeks and then fail (the most common scenario) your window of intervention by ebay-45 days -is closed and you get a nice apologetic letter that they cannot help you. You are told to contact the scammer, good luck with that since his site is no longer online. there is no address registered with ebay or on your purchase. You can contact the FBI or a detective-of course they will drop everything and assist you with your $20.00 purchase or even your $200 purchase on ebay.

If you must shop on ebay-do not buy electronics from Hong Kong-especially when you see long lists of products such as MP3s, iPhones, or any popular gadget that has a tempting price. This is a warning sign. the Asian markets are huge knock-off markets. With electronics, unlike a pocketbook or shoes that you can still wear, your product will not work. do not agree to pay or send a check or money order or your bank information directly to the seller. A seller wanted me to pay outside the normal channels for some fictitious reason. I notified ebay who did nothing about this illegal request by the buyer that violated ebay's own rules.

Do not purchase anything where the seller tells you that there are too many items to be described and shows you a picture instead. I was scammed when a seller stated that he had 100 DVDs of current titles and there were just too many titles to list separately. He put up a photo of different DVDs. Also, set a price on what you feel is reasonable to avoid having a scammer have a third party run the price up. Emotional bidding is expensive. Be suspect when an opposing bidder is going neck to neck with you on an item. Look for an address before you buy and if you are spending a lot of money contact that seIler first to see if you get a good address and write it down for safekeeping in case of a scam later. You might want to write down all addresses before you send money off because ebay will not help you. I wrote down all info because thieves pull their info from the site. Ebay should not let sellers close their sites down without archiving the info.

Finally, when you get scammed, inform the world of the identity and ebay info of the thief. Most crooks operate via a pattern and you might help catch the crook after he tries to scam someone else one too many times. I am not talking about a legitimate dispute or misunderstanding but a clear undeniable rip-off. In the end you are taking a chance on ebay-the stomping ground of crooks, Amazon is a better place to buy.

ebay has No SELLER Protection whatsoever... thus all the good honest sellers are no longer on ebay and leaving a bunch of scammers... Ebay charges an arm and a leg for sellers in which they pay the employees with ... If a seller has a problem it's oh well .. all we want is your money and who cares what happens to you the seller... I had sold an item on ebay and a buyer didn't like it... well, she did not READ the Description nor look at the pics so this was truly a case of buyers remorse... I had emailed ebay about this SEVERAL times and NOT ONCE did ebay reply to any of my questions or concerns instead they just ruled in the buyers favor with no explanation at all - put a hold on my paypal account and so on... in the end the buyer did agree that she did not read description, did not ask questions nor really look at all the pictures and we worked it out because it was her fault... Not all buyers will admit they goofed so as a seller you will lose Everytime... It's just not worth the fees they charge for sellers to be totally unprotected and end the end... all the good old honest sellers finally had to leave ebay leaving a bunch of new comers who don't last long or are just run off by the lack of care from ebays customer support. BUYERS it really is YOUR Responsibility to ASK questions, LOOK at the Pictures and READ that description... If you don't well it's shame on you... being that this happens more often that not... the good sellers have just had enough and have moved on... We use to buy and sell on ebay but not anymore... bottom line, ebay just doesn't care about the sellers at all - If there are NO sellers then there will be No buyers - No ebay! No wonder buyers are not happy... ebay has run off all the good sellers because they just wont protect the sellers from bad buyers... Bummer

in fact, i had a much worse experience with amazon. I bought a product and seller never provided tracking number or shipped the item. I send several emails and got no response back. when I called amazon customer support, they told me to send email to the seller again... for what?... and wait almost a month an a half to cancel transaction.

If a buyer makes a complaint with PayPal, they will always take the buyer's side over the seller's and refund the money. It doesn't matter what the situation was.

eBay false information

The dog shown in the last two pictures is mine. I do not know this individual and have never given permission for him to use my dog's photos to help promote their stud dog. They are claiming that this is one of the dogs they produced, which is a complete lie. My dog is a show dog with a very good pedigree. I do not want my dog's image used by a backyard breeder to falsely entice breeders. I have included a picture of me with Niko accepting his 1st place trophy at the same show as these other pictures were taken. You can easily see that I am wearing the same clothes.

eBay seller protection sucks

Half.com is the worst, I sold a law book to a buyer from half.com, then 1 month later he complained of the quality of the book. I told him it was too late and that I sent him the book exactly how I described it. He then was able to obtain a refund from half.com for the exact same reason without any proof and basically used the book for free for the entire semester. I made several complaints to Half.com that this was a scam and he was just trying to use the book for free without paying for it and I received no response, the book in the mail, and money withdrawn from my account. Half.com doesn't care because they still keep their fees and make a profit regardless. I'm not using them anymore.

I am more then positive that book got damaged while it was misplaced in their warehouse. Half.com does not care and did not even gave me a chance to respond.

eBay Original Fragrance on ebay is a SCAM

Be careful purchasing any fragrances or colognes from Original Fragrance on eBay.

They sell fake / counterfeit perfumes and colognes. I purchased from them recently and it was obvious from the packaging and the smell that the perfume was a fake. They do not respond to emails when contacted about it.
Be careful and avoid.

eBay buyer protection policy is a joke

Back in August I filed a buyer protection claim due to having received the wrong edition of a textbook I ordered for a college class. I waited, and waited, and waited, and after several attempts to reach them via email, someone from Half.com finally sent me an email, stating how pleased they were with my feedback rating, how sorry they were for my troubles with this transaction, blah, blah blah. I was told to return the book to the seller and get a delivery confirmation number, and send it back to him/her when the book was "confirmed" as received by the seller. So I did so. Several times. And it is now November 27 and I have NOT YET HEARD from anyone at Half.com regarding my claim or refund. I am very disappointed in how they have handled this and will never buy anything from Half.com again, due to this experience and knowledge that if anything goes wrong, they will not protect buyers. I should have used my credit card company to get my money back, but I followed the instructions provided at Half.com not to do so. BIG MISTAKE. This site appears to be the unwanted stepchild of eBay and should be shut down.

I purchased a book using the CORRECT ISBN and was sent the WRONG edition, which has a completely DIFFERENT ISBN! When I complained to half.com they said I should return the book and get my money back. I have returned the book (AT MY EXPENSE) and I have NOT RECEIVED a refund. I am out the money I paid for the book & the money I spent returning the book. I can't even resell the book, because now the dishonest seller has my money & the book! DON'T PURCHASE FROM HALF.COM, because when one of their sellers cheats you, they do NOTHING!

eBay very bad decision

Hi,

I had ordered an item from ebay uk. When I received this item I quickly realized that the item was not as described by the UK seller. For example, the item (an LED grow light) had different number of LEDS and the sizes were also different. Since I have an energy meter, I measured its power readings and found that it was underrated (14watts actual, 50watts described). 14watts are clearly insufficient for my plants! Since I was not an expert in the electricity field, I started a forum tread just to confirm my analysis and conclusion. I made a complaint against the seller and ebay UK agreed in MY favour. They asked me to send the item back to the seller and I had to enter tracking information and the couriers name. I got a quote from DHL and they asked for 85 pounds (I am in Malta). Since the item costed just 25 pounds this was not practical. I then got in touch with ebay customer support and in the chat session (Customer Support Chat Transcript - SR# 1-[protected]), I asked the person if I could send the item via normal postage and register it. The person agreed with me and told me that I could enter the registration number as the tracking number. He also told me to contact the seller and inform about my method. I then sent a message to the seller and informed him of my intentions. I waited 3 days to give chance for him to answer me. Since the seller did not answer me, I paid 14 pounds in postage and registration and sent the item back to him on the 13/11/2010.

According to Royal Mail tracking, on the 17/11/2010, RM made the first attempt to deliver the item to the seller (Attempted
A delivery was attempted for your item with reference RR, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , in NEW FERRY PDO before 06:08 on 17/11/10).
I was really upset when on the 20/11/2010 I received the following message from ebay:
Customer support has reviewed the case and made a final decision. We've considered the case carefully and decided not to issue you with a refund. We're sorry this didn't work out.
I have since appealed ebays decision based on the information they had provided me prior to them deciding not to refund me. As of today I have not yet been contacted by ebay and more than the stipulated 48hr answer/decision time period has now passed.
I feel that Ebay in this instance have led me to the “gallows” rather than helping me out of an honest problem I encountered! The seller seems that he does not want to receive the item. His feedback on ebay is not very good and has some accusations of dishonest trading.

Regards
John

eBay fraud on damaged martin guitar

Seller described a Martin D45 guitar as "typical nicks and scratches of a 13 year old guitar. Three photos, from a distance, were shown. I paid $4500. for the guitar and when it arrived I saw "significant structural damage." Next, I visited with three Martin authorized luthiers including a visit to the Martin Guitar Co, in Nazareth PA, all within 2 working days after the guitar arrived. All three luthiers evaluated the guitar identifying the "significant structural damage." The fretboard was pushed toward the sound-hole by 1/2 inch. I contacted the seller who gave me the "screw you." I contacted eBay's resolution center which, after 5 days of deliberation and review of the luthier's evaluations found in favor of the seller. I then filed a lawsuit for FRAUD against the seller. If you have seen the eBay website over the last 30 days, they have revised their website claiming "Buyer Protection." When any organization makes claims to counter bad press, it's generally a fact that they are guilty and even in collusion with eBay scamers.

eBay $300,000 bank fee

ATTENTION ALL EBAY SELLERS $300, 000 Attachment to your Bank Account!
This is an Email sent to EBAY on 11/1/2010 with no response so far.

You have again changed your requirements for selling. You now require that you have
unlimited access to my bank account through Pay Pal. This will not due.
You cannot have unlimited access to my personal funds, that is stupid and I will never
agree to that. If you would like me to sell on Ebay ever again you need to change this.
As you must be aware if you don't okay automatic payment my items are rejected and will
not upload. It's hard enough already to use Ebay for selling, it just gets hard and
harder every year and the more we complain the less Ebay cares. So many people we know
will never us Ebay because of these dumb rules for sellers. You know that Turbo Lister
tells you how much to charge for shipping and the price often time is less than it
actually costs! What about not having enough to cover shipping? This inturn makes it
impossible to list These items at all.

It's about time you sent my concern's to John Donahue the President of Ebay and not
responded from what your screen tells you to say (copy and paste). Please don't send me a
prepared answer, I am so sick of them.
This is what happened to my account AUTOMATICALLY:

eBay if you should ever have an issue with payment, you will not be able to talk to a person to get it resolved

Half. Ebay.com has terrible customer support. If you should ever have an issue with payment, you will not be able to talk to a person to get it resolved. Their customer support is run through emails and their "help wizard" which basically just sends them an email. They will not call you at your request to fix a payment issue and if you do find their mysterious customer support phone number, it is an automated system just telling you to send them an email. You also can't use gift cards like you can on other websites, if your giftcard isn't above the amount of your total, you can't use it, but they don't state that unless you specifically go searching through all their discussion forums to find it or email to ask them ahead of time.

eBay it's a scam

I'm complaining about the following three web sites. They are all exactly the same.

http://www.homeemploymentagency.net/index/
http://www.home-job-report.org/work-at-home-position-placement
http://www.workathomepositionplacement.com/index/

All these three web pages start like this:

Thanks to the Internet, Fortune 500 companies like Apple, Adidas, Compaq, and Coleman are now outsourcing positions to people like you who want to work from home.

BUT IN VERY, VERY SMALL PRINT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE THEY WRITE:

Some individuals purchasing the program may make little or NO MONEY AT ALL.

AND THEY ALSO REVEAL, THE FOLLOWING, WHICH GOES AGAINST WHAT THEY SAID AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE:

Work At Home Position Placement is NOT AFFILIATED, endorsed by or in any way associated with Apple, Coleman, Adidas, Compaq, The New York Times, Esquire, America Online, CNN, USA Today, Forbes, Yahoo. Work At Home Position Placement does not have the express permission of Apple, Coleman, Adidas, Compaq, The New York Times, Esquire, America Online, CNN, USA Today, Forbes, or Yahoo logo.

THANK YOU COMPLAINTS BOARD. I WAS SUSPICIOUS OF THESE PEOPLE, WHEN MY SUSPICIONS WERE CONFIRMED BY YOUR OTHER COMPLAINT FOUND THERE:

http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/auction-listing-agent-c224838/page/4.html#c694213

So I'm filing this complaint just to point out the small print which very few people ever read.
