    Hi everyone,

    I just want to let you know that I bought a 6 month link on runningonlinebusiness.com back in February, and a month later, they took off my link, and refused to put it back on or refund my money. Even though we agreed on the link for 6 months - which was paid in advance, and I have copies of the e-mails to prove the agreement and back up the transaction.

    So if you come across anyone trying to sell you a link on this website, don't buy from them!

    In the future, does anyone have any advice on how to prevent these scams from occurring?

    Maybe more important to know user name of the seller

    This is not the place for theads like this instead resolve your issue with paypal directly and utilize the DP itrader system for negative feedback on past transactions

    I left them a negative iTrader review, but then discovered that they were actually banned a while back - so in this case, the website URL is more helpful than the username. From now on, I'll check iTrader feedback before purchasing links.

    And I already tried to resolve this issue through PayPal but they refused to issue me a refund and PayPal couldn't do anything about it since it is a "virtual good." It really sucks to do business with dishonest people.

    I meant to put this in the Link Selling forum. Sorry everyone! I just realized it went in the wrong forum.
