EBAY

Lately, I have been purchasing a variety of items from ebay.  Most works out great, yet you a occasional bad seller.  Bad Sellers can be domestic or foreign sellers.

Always use your credit card even when using Paypal.  Paypal sucks when you try to get your money back from unresponsive sellers.  Amex is the best, then discover.  Visa n mastercard varies depending on bank that issued it.

Paypal will respond to credit card company inquires and disputes than to you.

I have gone thru paypal before.  What a pain.  The hoops you have to jump thru is ridiculous.  One call to American Express its a done deal.

Thanks for reading

eSmoke Depot E Smoke Review

Great site to deal with.  The guys who run eSmokeDepot.com are knowledgeable and helpful.  When I first started to get into e smoke to quit cigarette smoking, They helped me out a lot.  I had numerous questions regarding e cig and safety.  Also didn't want to waste money on those cheap, disposable cartridge mini electronic cigarette.  I already had one and although they do work, if you puff on them often, the esmoke diminishes.  I personally do not recommend those e cigarettes, sorry @esmokedepot.com.  I know you carry them.


For those looking for a more substantial esmoke or electric cigarette, you have to go for the latest generation e smoke such as the EGO F1, EGO Ovale Elips, VGO, Joye 510-T  and other similar types of high-end electronic cigarettes.The esmoke they put out will be much more similar to tobacco cigarettes, lasts longer and much more maintenance-free.  It's always nice to have a pair of these and most top of the line e cigs comes with two complete pair of e smokes.  eSmoke one, while the other charges and you'll never be without an e smoke.

Enjoy your day and thanks for reading.  Comments are always appreciated, critical okay, nasty - ouch....be nice.

Beautyroot.biz is Simply Great!

According to stereotypes, the women of the house is generally better at finding bargains, and does much of the shopping.  Well, in my household, it's quite the opposite.  I HUNT down the deals.  Well here's a great site for those interested in Obagi Nu Derm products, www.beautyroot.biz.  The best prices on Obagi products I found on anywhere.  They also have a shop on eBay.com.  In a recent order with them I saved over $45 from its closest competitor although that to me is like the competition isn't even in the same league.  Email exchanges were all promptly replied and ordered shipped out the next day....I ordered a little bit too late to get shipped out that day.  Items can via USPS.  The items were well packed, no leaks or any other damages.  Very happy with the shipped product and excellent customer service from @beautyroot.biz.  Thanks!  Thanks for saving me a lot and not just a buck or two.

My 1 and 1 Webhosting Review

Whew, finally after about a month of dealing with 1and1.com that my nightmare has come to an end.......
It all began as I was working on my project when a salesman from 1&1 called me.  Pretty good salesperson, not pushy and also listened.  He was trying to sell me an seo package for a site that I have hosted there.  I was reluctant but interested.  I told him I would consider his offer.  He told me he would have some one call me with the exact terms on Tuesday or Weds (this was on a Friday).  I was agreeable.
Come Tuesday, come Friday and no one calls.  I just left it alone since I was still reluctant and any company that can't follow up on a hot lead, well that's just stupid.   
A week later I get a message on my phone stating that they have begun my SEO and will start adsense and so on.  My jaw just dropped.  They never contacted me, asked me any question about my market, style, preference or anything.  I was more afraid they would screw up what built.  I called the company immediately and was told that they would be escalating this complaint.  A week passes by and I get another message, they can't run adsense for my site and would have to cancel my order. 
I just laughed and thought the whole deal was now over, not.  They decide to bill me for a service I didn't order and they can't run.  So I finally get the one of three folks in the SEO department.  I was dying to talk to the moron biatch whose been calling and leaving the idiotic schitzoid messages.  No, Roger always claimed she was busy or not in.
Well, now I'm at least dealing with one person direct knowledge not just some customer service rep in Manila.  I explained in no uncertain terms how I felt about the situation without being rude or yelling.  After all, Roger didn't do this to me on purpose and we are all bothers and sisters (til you try to steal money from me).  Roger seemed to understand the situation and told me he would personally have it taken care off.
Week and a half goes by and I get billed again for something I didn't order and they can't run, Wtf?  Now, I am extremely upset.  I called Roger up and asked if he remembered me.  Yeah he did, you can tell from the voice change.  Asked him why the billing when he said he would take care of it.  He bullshitted me by stating that they were waiting for the original sales call tape.  I told him I understand SOP but in this case, you can't perform the work you charged me for.
Plus, your site advertises 90 days no question money back on all products and services and I didn't even order this.....how much more strikes do you need brother, really.
Finally I just plain asked him if they were just having fun messing with me.  Sort of like messing with every fifth customer.  If they were all just laughing and trying to devise how else to stress me out.
He said he'll have an answer for me tomorrow.  Well, I just didn't believe him and called Well Fargo and disputed the charges.
He did call back the next day, did not apologize or anything and relayed to me that they will have the charges reversed.  I asked him anything else, waiting for some sort of apology but alas, none was forth coming.
Wow, never used to have this kinda of problems.  Next time my experiences on ebay.
