This is so awesome! I put my referral link up on eBay expecting to get a few signups under me for the shuffle ipod. I said "NOTE- This is a real auction, if you bid, we will give you more tips and info on how to do this with more success." And guess how high the bidding went? $76.00! Why would you pay so much for information? Oh well, works for me. Check it out here-

This is crazy! I'm feeling very happy right now!

I couldn't feel ethical doing auctions on ebay for 'information' on how to get a free mini mac/iPod/whatever.

Maybe I"m the only one though.

justinfreestuff

15-01-2005 05:29:37

i would say you're the only one, yes )

ive gotten over 1,200 yellows and 150 greens for different gratis sites using this method

total cost to me maybe $35 total (in eBay fees)

15-01-2005 07:01:20

Some people don't sell the information. What is there to sell, you just go to the website.
But some people have actually made a profit through selling the link. Oh well. Some people are that desperate.
justinfreestuff, wow, I wish I could get the same results.

I nor the other really do give a damn how long you've been on, on ebay. If we wanted more information, all we would have to do is read the FAQ, instead of wasting three years of our lives trying to be the [ba2c4838426]ebay whiz[/ba2c4838426].

I just read this entire thread and I think it qualifies as one of the worst on this forum. Not only because taking people's money on eBay in such a way is both lame and very wrong, but also because of the turn this discussion has taken.

[quoteacaaac2afb]i need $210 so i can get my turbo for my 240 [/quoteacaaac2afb]

I understand better where your earlier comment about "80% of the idiot buyers are first time females" is coming from you're the kind of guy who needs a big turbo in his big car... I'm sure you'll impress some of the chicks you scammed with your big engine lol

and im not that type of guy 10th i just call it like i see it exactly 80% of the non-reading buyers are females stats dont lie besides i can call them idiots because the name of the thread is retarded ebay users so either way it goes there in that category

J4320

Actually, the person with the last bid on my 74 dollar auction was female. And she really regreted she didn't read it.

If people think they're getting the product, and instead only get info, could eBay get them their money back if they complain? Disregard the bidder's stupidity in answering this.

illjuan

16-01-2005 19:06:37

no because when you bid your signing an online contract saying your gonna pay that amount if you dont it makes your ebay account look flaw and therfore hindering your ebay functions

Well, someone just paid me over $100 when I made it clear that I was posting free information. I intend to refund when the person in question gets back to me. I just don't get it.
Anyway, does anyone know how to create a seller account without entering checking and CC info? Something about using paypal was mentioned earlier...

Well.. maybe you shouldn't take advantage of ebay to be your free spam service.

I hate to say it, but it really pisses me off when people post stuff on ebay... when they aren't selling anything. That includes selling worthless ebooks that tell you to try to resell worthless ebooks.

When I talk to certain persons who are internet wise, I get a bad stigma with associated with a 'spammer' like FiP because, while they don't really do any advertising, there are some rather unethical people out there doing rather unethical marketing.

I just made $150 from another person. I refunded it. Some of these people don't read the listings. When the subject is "FREE IPOD SHUFFLE", do you think that I would actually give it to you for free? If there's one thing I've learned in this world, it's that NOTHING IS EVER FREE. Even this stuff comes at a price.

It also appears as if eBay's cracking down. They shut off five of my auctions today. There wasn't even a free link in them.

lower my karma then

I'm seeing if I can get the lowest level in this entire site!

I come across as sort of an ass on the Internet. The reason is that I'm an ass in real life. It's not that I'm opinionated, it's that I'm always correct.

If you don't like my advice, feel free to ignore it. Until then I'll keep on speaking out against what I consider to be unethical marketing practices.

Am I the only person here who has been able to get referrals while calling it a pyramid scheme? I must be.

No doubt the ethics of Gratis, the offers, and the participants of the scheme are questionable. But I'm not about to bait anybody into the site without fully explaining the nature of the scheme.

Why not? Only an idiot can't figure it out themselves. It says right on the site how to get yours for free. Do an offer, Refer friends to do the same and BAM! you're done.

I don't think people realize ... how quickly such a scheme would collapse (or be illegal) if it was slightly different.

Were this 'pay 30 bux to join' and convince your friends to do the same it'd be shut down. The only reason it works is because of the indirect payment of the funds from the signups. I honestly don't see how any of these companies (unless they use questionable billing practices, which some do) are actually getting their money's worth for this advertising.

I don't trust people not to be total retards, and not work out the math. This whole thread is about people bidding for goods that aren't real, and bidding for auctions where it says not to bid! Are these same sort of people going to realize how very close this is to an illegal pyramid scheme?

Narakukuku

19-01-2005 13:06:24

I explain everything.
The point is you're baiting people knowing it's a scheme. One could argue that if you're so ethical, why not go out and buy the thing yourself.
And why are you so anxious to pick a fight and prove yourself right?
Goodbye.

No, because I just had mexican for lunch.

Sorry, but I'm waiting for stuff to compile at work, no reason not to get into a flame war!

I do wonder what kind of ROI these advertising companies are getting, however.
