Quote: LOL....Wonder if Google will even allow them to submit their items. If they do, it won't be too long before they get kicked out again.

Google's company motto should be "we are hypocrites".  They might ban counterfeit sellers from Product Search but they'll gladly take their money and let them advertise on AdWords.  I just added replica watch site newshopping2u.com to TT's Adsense blocked site list because both times I've visited TT today I saw their giant AdWords banner ad at the top of the page. Thanks Google!  Angryfire

A site's terms and conditions are legally binding upon both parties.  From Plunderhere terms and conditions/user agreement on 10/20/09:

Quote: 7. Fees and Charges
*************************************
The listing fee for posting an item on Plunderhere.com is 100% FREE. There is, however, a nominal charge for other auction posting features such as featured item listings, attention grabbers, bold listings, etc., should you wish to use them. Plunderhere imposes a low 2.50% final value fee on all items sold.

https://www.plunderhere.com/register.php

The 'fees' page isn't a legally binding contract.
A post on the site's forum isn't a legally binding contract.
The terms and conditions are a legally binding contract.

If you've been charged more than 2.5%...fight the extra charges

Shouldn't the TOS of a site named Auxoo reference the name Auxoo at least once?  Confusedtolensmiley:

FYI, yet another new PHP Pro Bid security hole, an SQL injection vulnerability in auction_details.php,  was discovered in PHP Pro Bid on 9/21.  The vulnerability is rated moderately critical and affects all 6.x versions (which is used by ASs, PH, and vitually every other PHP Pro Bid site) .  The vulnerability is unpatched

from the US Gov't's National Vulnerability Database:
Quote: Impact Type:Allows unauthorized disclosure of information; Allows unauthorized modification; Allows disruption of service
http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail...-2009-3336

more details at Secunia: http://secunia.com/advisories/36755/
the exploit: http://downloads.securityfocus.com/vulne...s/36389.pl

edit: the Secunia advisory has only been viewed 413 times.  There are far more than 413 active Pro Bid sites.  The fact that the majority of site owners don't even bother to check vulnerability databases should give you a clue as to how safe your information is when you register on the majority of these sites.

That vulnerability is minor compared to the highly critical gaping security hole PHP Pro Bid owners create when they give the scamming fisherman mod maker from Oldsmar access to their sites and databases. Fluck

$45 for a 1 week  "site of the week" ad on a site that only has 3,358 monthly unique visitors? :Smile   Happy001 Reality time: 3,358 is 95% fewer monthly visitors than Wagglepoop had at its peak.  Ray's AdSmart scam advertising rates were a great deal if you compare them to RSD's highway robbery for squat in return.

p.s. Here's an exclusive money making tip from  Sneaky. Why waste $45 paying RSD when you can buy the same crappy Ventrino traffic exchange software script RSD uses for $98?  Buy the script, have your neighbor's preschooler design a logo for you,  and within one week clueless rinky dink auction owners like MoPuppy who know squat about how to effectively advertise a business will be tossing cash your way.  Morons.

Or, pay $45 in fees at a real marketplace (Amazon, Buy, etc.) with more than 1000 customers in 18 months, without having to beg on forums and swap purchases, and really make some money from your investment.
