That's assuming the information wasn't previously compromised by info trading hackers due to the site's lack of security. Quote:The database will be destroyed Destroying the database and all user transaction data (i.e. site fees paid by credit card) would put the owner in violation of Visa and Mastercard regulations which require merchants to keep copies of all transaction receipts for a minimum of 18 months. |

Quote:Destroying the database and all user transaction data (i.e. site fees paid by credit card) would put the owner in violation of Visa and Mastercard regulations which require merchants to keep copies of all transaction receipts for a minimum of 18 months. Those rules are for the merchant's protection in case of a chargeback. If the idiot owner really destroyed "all user data" she'll lose any chargeback case that's filed. |

[/quote] You really would have to be a total idiot to destroy the database. The IRS wouldn't be too happy about that either, and neither will the owner be if they get audited. : |

As usual everyone gets it wrong... The database destroyed is the auction database. Most other sites have violated privacy rules. We did not. As for credit card info. We still have this info available, we used a reseller service to process our credit card payments via a secure site. No CC info was collected or kept at our site. As far as Monies collected and paid we have full records. It was not an easy choice to pull the plug but after reading this thread it makes me realize that I made the right choice. Good Day.

This might be more useful than the auction site, if that's possible.

Fraud and competition are also daily facts of life for every online and offline retail business. 'Trolls' are an excuse used exclusively by boinktards like Ray Romeo and BiddersNSellers who are unwilling to admit that the reason their sites failed was due to their own incompetence. |

Quote:'Trolls' are an excuse used exclusively by boinktards like Ray Romeo and BiddersNSellers who are unwilling to admit that the reason their sites failed was due to their own incompetence. My Monday morning research indicates that, yes Virginia, "trolls" really is an excuse used exclusively by boinktards. tolensmiley: (number of times word appears in articles, posts, etc) Troll/Trolls: Internet Retailer: 0/0 GetElastic Ecommerce Blog: 0/0 PSU: 265/325 Jealous/Jealousy: Internet Retailer 0/0 GetElastic Ecommerce Blog: 0/0 PSU: 111/22 "eBay alternative": Internet Retailer: 5 GetElastic Ecommerce Blog: 0 PSU: 6,110 "new auction site" Internet Retailer: 4 GetElastic Ecommerce Blog: 0 PSU: 1,730 The fact that "trolls", "eBay alternatives", and "new auction sites" are rarely, if ever, mentioned in the ecommerce articles on IR and GE should should give you some valuable insight into where not to place your priorities if you want to build a successful ecommerce business... |
