I notice that their html links and website are down. Have they gone under, or is it just a technical problem?

Thx

Good question!

I've been removing their logos from my templates all day & will cancel them if they EVER do re-appear!

Perchance they be pulling a CarnabyMax?

It was cheapo, so I didn't mind having their logos -- but it's been 48hrs of on again, off again poopoo, so time for the ole heave-ho-bums-rush-out-the-door-and-don't-let-it-hit-ye-in-the-on-the-way-out routine!

Yes, I have also edited my standard auction text, to remove their html, for my new listings.

I am not going to eBay edit my existing auctions, as I have well over a 100 running now (even though it does look tacky with a 'dead' image at the bottom of the lsiting).

ALSO, I have sent RM an email, to ask; WHAT'S UP??

I signed up with them in their early days and also paid when they went pay to play.

However many months ago they stopped adding their logos (at least to my auctions) and they stopped doing the feedback analysis (my favorite part)

I figured they were dead months ago but just left the site up as they limped along for those who still had time paid to cover.

I hadn't been billed in last couple quarters either.


I think they are DEAD....

Remember the kid that was running that site. He was only 17. He got booted off ebay for being too young. It was all on the boards here at one time, including him.

I never even went near that site after watching how things came down here on these boards with Baby Stevie....... grabbing our ID's off ebay and spamming our mailboxes with his new site. Then coming here and when he was questioned about it he said it was none of our business??

So that kid is about 19 now. Quit expecting so much! LOL

Here's some background on the company, and the 17-year old (at the time) founder, Steven Ebin.

He's evidently enrolled at Cornell University now, and enjoys making prank phone calls and posting them on the web:

Those zany COOs...

What a total PUTZ!

I've sent 3 emails to "support" cancelling my logo without any response!

Maybe I should call PrezSteve @ 1:00 am for a jolly??
