    mikey1090 - they were not crappy ebooks, mix of mentoring/coaching/investment etc.

    Im not a total sucker - i dont believe in "make $1000 per day" money making products

    Read my original posts, i always put in research. One bitten twice shy!

    >Katy - Appreciate a Mod gracing us with their presense in my little thread, BUT you just dont get it..........

    As soon a member is banned (which is justified if they break the rules) and that banned member happened to be dealing with other members who purchased something from them - it gives them an ideal excuse not to have to follow thru on the transaction. There is no longer any reason to fear from not sticking with their agreement.

    This means a member banning in this situation means mods do get involved in members business even if not on purpose

    There is no way to predict the result of a banning or know what affect it will have bcause they dont know every transaction that was occuring with that banned member............

    Im saying it could quite well be a tactic used on purpose by scammers who just steal money with no real intent of forefuling promises.

    Once a member is banned they can just ignore any communication attempt

    SIMPLY a totally flawed system

    We give infractions to the ones who deserve them. You do business at your own risk here. It's impossible to watch EVERY sale thread, we are not robots.

    Not at this time, sorry.

    When I do a review I'm honest. Sometimes I tell the seller to close the thread if I think the review or the product itself will lose them their reputation and embarrass them if I give it a crap review.

    Last time I did give a crappy product a crap review the seller was not happy. He said even though I had high itraders, I must be stupid. He said I was so up my own arse about having a good rep that I failed to spot out a decent product. LOL :rolleyes:

    Not yet.. I'm just careful while bidding/buying things,
    I'm new and I know people don't buy stuff from people less than 250 posts and 10 iTrader..
    So just trying to get along and I hope I can trade in the Buy Trade section soon :)

    dont buy any money making methods, those not works to everyone. you need to create it yourself.
    about scamming, you have to learn for the mistake also from other's mistakes, so you wouldnt be the next victim. sorry to hear about your story but what i wanna say is DP still got lots of good guys to deal with. (like me :p)

    To be honest , it all depends upon you..

    I have done so many transactions on DP in the last 9 months and i haven't been scammed even once...

    Be careful and you wont lose your money...

    The problem is that people only give reviews to reputable members with tons of posts and itrader. By the time normal dp users purchase the product (e-book or whatever) those methods don't work anymore, cause usually a newly discovered method only works for a short period of time. It's a vicious circle, and there are also a lot of rippers and thieves.

    Thanks for everyone who had posted or discussed my topic

    Im not totally bitter about the money i have lost - rather more determined then ever to find some that works for me to earn that money back plus more hopefully. Put it down to a sharp learning experience :)

    Tradeya - good comments and totally agree

    The more sensible and reliable ways of making money may take longer but are less risky and more likely to be successful.

    Like if 6-7 months ago had developed some sites and put that money ive lost into them using tried and true methods then im sure i would at least be getting some income stream return to show for it.........
