PlunderHere and AlsoShop: A Web of Privacy Violations, Backstabbing, and Deceit

[xwpopper]

Why would anyone at PH care if shoppers had to search through thousands of unsorted products "from other venues" when the site admin continues to let his listing counts remain padded with the "Imported Items" category? 17590 items still there from the script change over a year ago, that no one cared enough about to move to the appropriate categories.

This mod and category were obviously suggested by the king hypocrite of boinktard rinky dink site admins, AKA the Fisherman, who still peddles his secondhand torrent script so pirates can download any script illegally.

His host pinched him for operating pirated software. Boy - that breaks my heart.  Nailed a spammer and a [color=rgb(255, 0, 0)]pirate[/color] in 1 fail swoop.  Rock on!

Yet, even after I have emailed many Probid site admins I know, they still allow him access to their site. He is a pirate and a liar, and neither of those make him a secure member in any site's admin area.

Some site owners/admins are too ignorant of programming to even slightly begin to understand what they're doing and too cheap to hire their own programmers. A couple who've mentioned that they'd like to hire programmers are  discouraged from doing so by being told that the script rarely has problems.

People believe what they want to believe and once most people decide they have to have a thing they figure out a way to justify their "need" even when it means going against their better judgment, information that should slow them down  and sometimes even their own values.

People don't always get what they pay for but eventually everyone gets what they earn.

The intelligent thing to do when you're writing an importer mod would be to map Site A's categories to your existing category structure

I disagree. :twistedevil: Ignoring buyer experience and not mapping the categories in order to minimize development time is a very intelligent thing to do if you operate a buggy mod assembly line and your customers are site owners who think a $15 mod is "expensive". .

However, if you're an auction site owner and buy a mod that dumps everything in one category you're a fool.

Updated Flounderhere fee schedule

Final Value Fee:

From 0.01 USD To 0.99 USD 0.05 USD
From 1.00 USD To 9.99 USD 0.50 USD
From 10.00 USD To 49.99 USD 1.00 USD
From 50.00 USD To 99.99 USD 3.00 USD
From 100.00 USD To 999.99 USD 5.00 USD
From 1,000.00 USD To 9,999.00 USD 10.00 USD
From 10,000.00 USD To 99,999.00 USD 25.00 USD
From 100,000.00 USD To 999,999.00 USD 50.00 USD

The above final value fee applies to those without a store, and or a free store.

If you have a Bronze, Silver, or Gold store, your final value fee is only 5.95% of the selling price.

Current Store Levels:

Basic (FREE Store) - 100 Items Maximum, Must be renewed every 30 days.
Bronze Store ($4.95 per month) - 500 Items Maximum, Renews Monthly
Silver Store ($9.95 per 90 days) - 2000 Items Maximum, Renews every 3 Months
Gold Store ($40.00 per Year) - 10000 Items Maximum, Renews yearly.

If you have a Bronze, Silver, or Gold store, your final value fee is only 5.95% of the selling price.

So, let me see here. I can pay for a bronze store at $5 a month and sell something for $100, and pay $5.95, or not open a store and get "punished" with the different fee schedule of just $3? That shouldn't matter though, the only folks who sell anything over $10 are the counterfeit sellers and they should have to pay more to sell to America, so they can pay more to a site owner in Malaysia just for the irony of it all.
With the history of the PH "owner" that's the only level store a half-dimwitted moron cheerleader would ever go for. Who would invest a year's worth into a site that the owner may forget to pay the bill again, only to pay higher final value fees?

Today's phrase of the day for Mark, Nisan,and "PHsupport"/"Jeremy"

"contributory trademark and copyright infringement "

Louis Vuitton awarded $32.4 million in lawsuit against web host that hosted sites selling counterfeits
http://newsticker.welt.de/?module=smarthouse&id=936521

Auction sites and web hosts have traditionally been shielded from liability for actions committed by their users (e.g. selling counterfeits) under USC 120 "the ISP immunity law" .  This ruling could change that.

I suppose that means Ray could be held liable for all the trademark and copyright violations on Plunderhere since the server is now hosted in his name? If it looks like a fish, smells like a fish, it probably belongs to the fisherman.

Hey Nisan BidBoink, when are you going to tell the members who you're charging (up to) 50% FVFs that Flounderhere is banned from Google Product Search because of all the counterfeit handbags?

Your search - site:plunderhere.com - did not match any products

Maybe these "established" Probid site admins need to figure out how to submit their feeds from their site RSS feeds instead of complaining about Google's soon-to-be policy of cancelling marketplace seller accounts.
Or maybe the fisherman needs to give those fish to Ma to clean while he purchases writes another Google Base mod for Probid.

This book is in good used readable condition with no odors, writing or tears

I'm looking on the dropdown list of conditions on the listing form at Fillz and I can't find "good used readable".  Here's a conversion rate boosting tip for rinky dink book and media sellers: try using the same grading systems that the rest of the world uses...and, um, skip the mention of odors because it immediately makes me think the seller is selling gently used very, very, very well worn books and storing them in a box in a damp basement...especially when the word "readable" is included in the same sentence.

Or maybe the fisherman needs to give those fish to Ma to clean while he purchases writes another Google Base mod for Probid.

I'd suggest paying the outsourced programmer a few extra dollars to add a condition field to the database, a required condition dropdown list field to the listing form (new, refurbished, used, crap) so the condition of 'gently peed on' items is correctly listed as used instead of new in the feed and half the feed doesn't get disapproved.
