    Does anyone know who owns DGuide directory.

    There submission guidelines state sites will be added within 1 business day but submitted over two weeks ago and nothing.

    Tried contacting them via email several times and get a mail delivery error!

    I dont know who is the owner of the dguide.co.uk .

    But something that I found is, .co.uk site using USD for payment.
    If it were to work properly, it would have used GBP not USD.

    Coz all most all websites in the UK have been found to be using only GBP. This is something not found in some canadian, and most asutrailan websites and websites from other countries.

    Why did you submit to such a site paying for that site?

    Yep - Brad McGhee is the name that comes up in some of the emails from paypal.

    I also submitted to www.webzilla.co.uk which I believe is also owned by Brad and the same yet again.

    I would put this down to several things.

    1. The guy is ill at present.

    2. Bad management

    3. On holiday

    4. He may not be aware there are several errors on his site and may not have seen the emails come from his paypal account and submission.

    Or maybe I am being too reasonable here!

    My thing now is, if he is not a member of DP and I cannot locate him then a chargeback will be filed.

    As it stands I am still believing there is a genuine explanation as to why this is happening.

    What d'ya reckon?

    File a chargeback, even if it is one of the first few cases you posted then the chargeback will prompt him to respond. If he doesn't then you are already on your way to getting your funds back. Two weeks is ample time for him to have "noticed" your submission.

    One thing is going to be sure.

    If you are going to put his site's link all over then for sure Brad will become famous in not time.

    Any publicity is good publicity. ;)
