Corporate bullies in their ivory towers

When the Corporate Bullies Cry Foul

When the Corporate Bullies Cry Foul – you and I don’t stand a chance…

When the big corporate bullies cry foul over something you’re doing or selling, you and I, the little guy, don’t stand a chance.  Have you had this experience?  (Tell us about it in the comment section!)

I found this out several times during my years of selling on eBay.
Overall, selling on eBay was a pretty good experience, although I don’t do much of it any more. Their support staff was pretty good to me. They always went as far as they sometimes dared to help me.

Amazon wasn’t nearly as helpful. Their service was so bad that I stopped selling on that platform. It wasn’t that their staff wasn’t nice.

(They understand English much better than I understand Chinese, but that’s not saying much…)
What I found as a seller is that, first of all, it’s really difficult to sell anything if you’re not using a big platform with lots of traffic.

When something is advertised as being extremely cost-effective and effective as an advertising tool, should it not deliver? Well, first of all, they are shady at best, and secondly, they can get you in a lot of trouble. Finally, like any such scheme, the only people they work for are the ones who set them up and a few choice friends.

What is an ad network? Simply put, it is a system, designed in much the same format as a network marketing program or worse, a pyramid scheme or ponzi. They are sketchy in their legality, barely sneaking under the radar, if they do at all, mainly because they aren’t directly charging or promising money.Ad Network Scams pyramid scheme

The similarities are very strong in every other way. They promise that if you join their HUGE network, you will be able to advertise your wares, service or business opportunity to thousands upon thousands of people.Read More »Ad Network Scams – 3 Eye-Opening Reasons they Don’t Work
