    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Inquiry BallBids.com?

I see nothing in that but your American right to share your opinion about someone.Its really sad that Facebook is just removing things or banning people just because they report it :(.Its ok though because we WILL eventualy remove BB from existing :thumbsup:

Joe,

I'm thinking that their very actions in getting your opinions removed along with your post here saying how that happened, will help people form opinions of Ballbids. I think many people here don't want to deal with a company that is underhanded, and all 'smoke and mirrors', and if they have to work that hard to keep themselves looking like everyone loves them, it is going to catch up with them when people read the truth here.

Between that, and all the "technical difficulties". They just pushed back another auction for whatever reason.

Even their die hard fans are beginning to get crabby.
 
yea

Yea they are hanging themselves slowly but its sad how many people still believe they can turn things around.

Wow another "attack" :rolleyes:.They might be getting crabby but they are still there grasping onto the myth of winning something
 
You know - if it was any other type of internet retail - say - Old Navy - who has a far better IT team than Zack does - and they kept having to close down their store because of issues - no one would trust their credit card information to that business.

But because it's a perceived short cut to actually saving your money and delaying gratification and buying what you REALLY want - these poor kids are being sucked in by an incompetent business "man" and his incompetent team.

I think what irks me more than anything is that they are so quick to delete any negative comments and ban users who made the comments. That right there should be a HUGE red flag to the integrity of this "company". They have zero integrity.

Robin, i have noticed one thing about the people that BB is targeting.Its those like himself, the not so bright in the head ones.Im sorry with ALL the warnings on EVERY forum there are those that still dont have a clue.Yea there might have been some that got suckered in at the beginning but they are the ones that are getting far away from it now.In my opinion the ones sticking with BB now are just those wannabees that just cant make it in this hobby the way we do it.
 
I think it's funny to watch him go on iHerp, the only forum he's not been banned from, and tell everyone how he is so moral and ethical. He already admitted to being a former used car/ insurance salesman. Now picture your local used car salesman telling you how great and ethical he is. Would that not be the signal to RUN the other way?
 
So I see they have postponed the auction for the 2012 spinner female again. Supposedly you can not pay for bids as the feature is not working. they say they love to get people the best deals on the internet however they also need to be able to pay for the snake. Does this sound fishy to anybody else? I can not do a screen capture of the post on there FaceBook page but this post was put up 33 minutes ago. It sounds a little fishy to me. They had technical difficulties last thursday and had to postpone the auction til today and now they can't sell bids. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm. Maybe the problem is they haven't sold bids because people are getting wise to the scam they are pulling? Maybe the person that was supplying the spinner backed out? This is all speculation of course or maybe their programmer just doesn't know what he is doing and is going to blame it on another attack lol

It looking like PayPal stopped being their payment provider. If people complain or there are a lot of chargebacks, they will not accept payment for any site.

So if that is the case is there another company out there similar to pay pal? and if there has been a lot of charge backs and they can not use pay pal anymore maybe people are starting to see the light and they will be gone soon.
 
I know! Their customers can just send their CC info straight to Marty so he can put it in a database that is proven to be easily hacked and they can get back to scamming as usual!
 
Supplier has been found. Could be the Only one supplying or might have another, but so far seems to be just one.

We have tried to tell him to BEAT IT many times! I don't think anyone has been banned from iHerp aside from spammers.
