I recently booked & paid for a service from a guy well known on this & other forums. I paid for 100 submissions for $14.00, he submitted to 50, at most. I charged back & he did settle quickly, so I wont say his name, but beware.
How did you find this out? The trouble is, directories don't always send out confirmation emails. Did you ask the directory owners themselves?
Will keep this in mind, according to the OP, if not satisfied, do a chargeback at once. Not a good way if that is what you did to do business with anyone. Did you email him? Did you try to work it out with him? For if you just did a chargeback without the above, that is bad practice.
I know who he is talking about. I never got a report that I was promised so I guess this is why. No biggy it was only $14 but still.....
sometimes I wonder how hand directory submission services make a profit by charging a customer only $14 for submitting to 100 directories. It takes me hours to hand submit to 100 directories.
Well I have used someone on this forum and they were superb. The confirmations rolled in, the excel spread sheet was delivered within a day or two. I have absolutely no complaints with the guy I used. I have to say that to make a post about someone and not name them is bad form really. You made a charge back (did you speak to the guy first)? Then the attitude your showing is really I'm ok so sod you jack! Not having a go but all you have really succeeed in achieveing is to cast suspicion on those on this forum who carry out a good service.
Cost of living I guess. Tonight we stayed in my Daughter (6yr old) My wife, and myself. We ordered in some Pizza (£15) had some nice wine (2X£8) also had a table nibble picnic that came to about £15. so all in all out quiet night in cast about £50. In may areas of the world this would buy you a night in a top hotel with a fairly decent hooker. Not quite sure my wife and child would have approved though . The point is that cost of living is what it is all about. To someone who is living in abackwater in some third world area, or to a 15 year old kid someplace, it is easy money and better than comparable jobs locally.
I often tell my wife to stop letting me post, when the 1st bottle is done. Of course, she is watching some chick flick and I am still posting dumb shit online.
if you paid by paypal, i'd be really surprised if you can get your money back... since they don't accepts chargebacks on services (i.e. non tangible goods)... so i'm a little suspicious of your story.
That our wives are watching chick flicks whilst we have a little nip while surfing the net and posting in forums. Let's take back our lives men! Take that bottle, go in and turn off the chick flick and put in a good violent movie, and tell wife, here, help me drink this while the two of us cuddle up and watch the funny antics of Jackie Chan and company. Or not@!
I think you should rather work with the submitter before doing any chargeback. $14 for 100 submission is already a discount and if he did 50 already, I doubt he would be running away with your money, there might be something which crop up which prevented him from continuing. If you do want to get your money back then don't go for the free meal and request for everything back, pay him for what he has done.
Great point Eddy. It is important that you communicate with the people you contract, as not to do so can cause all sorts of misunderstandings.
Can't help but feel a little sorry for the poor chap who offered the service at $14. At that price, even 50 submissions is a bargain. That works out to be about 0.28/submission. Hand submission is an extremely time-consuming process and I find it hard to swallow the fact that after going through that gruelling process, he's left unpaid.
