Nazi seller alert:
He now operates stores on 8 sites, as well as his own site.

It's a shame we don't have a bigger voice to boycott these sites. Wait, I wouldn't shop at them anyways.  Happy001
Maybe we should send him a message to check out Wagglepop's free store.

He also posts on the site of a major liberal internet newspaper. The usual veiled white supremacy crap, and the pro-terrorist, anti-Israel crap. Disgusting dirtbag.

I am all for freedom of speech and fully believe he has every right to use his, the same way we have a right to call him a disgusting dirtbag while he says whatever he wants about us.
What I can't stand is a site that calls itself a business like Plunderhere & Specialist Auctions (with dozens of site moderators) and Epier align themselves with this crap, thus subjecting everyone else's businesses to be associated with it as well. As far as the IOffer store, this boinktard may be a step up from the usual seller. At least what he is selling doesn't violate every trademark and copyright on the international books, and no one has a right to get offended when they are selling their own illegal junk.

It's a free market. But I wouldn't shop at Target as a customer, or sell through Target as a vendor, if they started selling Nazi flags, patches, and concentration camp "memorabilia."
From the PH boards, Marktard posting:
Quote:Yes very frustrating for sellers and we realize how much effort
you all have put in to add listings etc.
95% of fees are off now so that will more than compensate - from
our side we almost lost the whole damn site but thanks to 2 teams
of techs getting stuck in we preserved the data, stopped the attack
and got back up again.
Obviously it was more complex than that but somebody out
there wanted us down for good but we came back fighting.

That's how to address your issues. Sound a little like Ray Romeo's blame game?
How about that Nazi seller that Ecrater kicked off?  Icon_thumleft
Visit the hacker's paradise at Plunderhere.  Notworthy
It's been a little over a year since all the PH/aSs/MO stuff started. It's been a heck of a year for both sites. I thought I'd display a few stats:
PH front page featured sales:
4 listings for fake Louis Vuitton merchandise from a seller MO even said on PSU that she banned immediately.
1 Nazi seller still active with 9% of the sites listings.
Over 50% decrease in listings since November, sitting at just 36,000.
The site downtime totaled of 8.6% of the year, a week for the script change, 3weeks for the server moves, and 3 weeks for hackers.

aSs:
29,000 listings, 19,000 are a single seller named "Bookz" that has sold 4 books in 9 months.
Sales are booming, $2.98 average sale price, $2484 total from 833 sales.
The site's inventory turns over an average of once every 3 years, with roughly 10,000 sales annually based on the April average.
The average monthly sales per seller are $35.48, meaning in a year on 23 rinky dink sites as successful as Alsoshop would place a seller slightly above the poverty level.

This is a poster child year for rinky dink sites.
Quote:1 Nazi seller still active with 9% of the sites listings.

639 of the site's listings, almost 2%, have the word 'Nazi' in their title.

Way to go Marktard! :asshat2:

2 links from that Bid-a-lot post:

I wonder how along it will take you to get threats of a lawsuit for libel for posting that link?  Happy001

ASs would kick your ass in a forum posts and listing contests stats battle. :twistedevil:
Interesting blog about Probid as well as the "Tech Guys" of some Probid sites.
