hi guys, i submitted to v7n directory about a week ago and still no response even after contacting them. whats your experience with v7n directory ? should i open a dispute on paypal ? thanks
Try your best to contact them if still no reply you have to open Paypal dispute. I also had this kind of problem with another directory & I opened dispute then Paypal resolved it by contacting Directory owner.
Before you raise dispute, write to them, use contact form on the site as well as checkup WHOIS for them and mail to admin contact - stating the submission details, amount paid (with transaction id) and date etc. Let it be known to them that if they don't approve the link or refund the money - you would take it up with paypal dispute. Should they opt not to respond, this warning email would help your case when you file a dispute with paypal! Cheers G
There could be a number of reasons. Most, but not all directories contact you when your site is listed. I do not think you have to worry with V7. I would definitely contact them.
Do they have a phone number? Sometimes you can begin to get somewhere once business's realise you'll be phoning them up and pestering them.
Try opening a support ticket at their forum. There were quick when I got a link from them few years back.
One week is a long time for a paid directory to approve a link. But they might have a long list of pending links. The directory is reputable and so, I will advice you to try every means to get in contact with them first.
Really only the owner can be reputable. I tried to submit a while ago from a promotion in s&a but I got a script error and so replied in the thread with the problem. But it was never replied to.
V7N has had very poor service if any at all since John stopped running it. Several complaints similar to yours on the forum.Very sad to see since it was one I thought had a future.
In similar vein, anyone had similar problems with a bunch of tools called commenthunt.com? Handed over my $19.99 to them to post blog comments for me, never heard from them again, despite repeated emails. That was FIVE MONTHS ago. Guess you live and learn..
