Yes, you've earned how much? This is a very one sided post.. why don't you quote from my review?

[MegalosSkylaki]

Err, sure ConsumerTalks

Love to quote different opinions..even quoted, "Extensive deals", "Awesome",.."amazing"...Plus
Positive Rating --which happens every so often, I'm apt to cite it somehow as it stands out !

Yes, you are correct. Opinions posted on two Sites Have been pretty one-sided about this Vender. Hey, I didn't create this Com.'s business model.

Please refresh my memory, Where is your review ?

ThanX,
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG

Err..... my name is clearly posted on ResellerRatings, you even typed it in your post! Any reviews would be under that name, in the listing for the merchant. I can't believe I had to spell that out for you. Wait, yes I can.

Ah ! Had to go back about 3 pages at Resellers Ratings and 30 Ratings ago, but here is the Quote !

"3/8/04 4:37 AM
I purchased 2 "Belkin SurgeMaster Superior Series - Surge suppressor - external - 8 output connector(s)" at a very good price, among the lowest online. 2 with free shipping were $26.76. Search for SKU 10318286. Items were delivered within 3 business days, I'm very happy with this purchase!"--ConsumerTalks

I am very happy that learned and distinguised fellow Member had a good experience --"I am very happy with this purchase".

I only wish Rater 'Arete' ("I promptly canceled my order. Who needs this crap."), rater 'Villiage Fool' ("VERY VERY SHADY! BUYER BEWARE! buy at your own risk."),

and at THe Other Site "They made my niece cry on Christmas... and NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, NONE!". Or, "Terrible! Buy.com is unethical and intentionally deceives customers about product availability
by fcoxavier, Feb 13 '04 "

had an equally positive experience.

[IMPORTANT: When going to Other Site, please look at review dates and click, "Review by date" if they are old.]

As for, "I can't believe I had to spell that out for you. Wait, yes I can.", your being of two minds sounds like your old Logic of Precognition where you Pre-dicted your next rating would be good.

Please, next time a precognition turns out true, don't wait thirty Ratings at Resellers Ratings to bring us the good news !

Thanks and Best wishes !

I didn't wait, I posted it. If you choose to post only the negative, that's up to you.

Hmmm....let me bring up the wqole third page of Resellers Ratings:

It's always best to quote in context.

"I'm tempted to buy something from them and post a good review." -- ConsumerTalks

Hey! You had your
PreCognitive experience
that it would turn out good here

Why not also share it HERE !

But I'm glad you gave me the opportunity to share it with TecHIMO.

Of course, when you prejudge what your experience will be,
Well, let's just let the record speak for itself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now this is info from BBB website for buy.com:
'Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to unanswered complaint(s).'"

Too bad I didn't check this site [ResellersRatings] and BBB site before ordering from them, but they used to be so nice before. .." --from Resellers Ratings
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any Pre-cognitive experiences about that !

MegalosSkylaki

P.S. Please post any of your sucessful predictions made here, here, even if its a prediction about ...about yourself !

---------------------------------EDIT---------------------------------------------
"Complainants allege various billing, cancellation and shiping related disputes. Recent complaints are typical of the kind we see for mail order companies and we do not regard them as serious.

"The company responds to all complaints by issuing credits or offering explanations. Some complaints remain unresolved, meaning the complainant is not satisfied with the company's response."

Edit: FOR THE RECORD, AND THE SAKE OF ACCURACY, the above is a quote from BBBeCommerce/Southland,CA regarding this Company. MegalosSkylaki,4/22]

..cause we all know people can't click on it.

[MegalosSkylaki]

What !

You're having trouble with the url?

Try clicking on it again.

I think its the page where the Rater was too overcome to write about Buy.com , so he used his email.

Review (Very Dissatisfied)

these people are a security risk.
Someone in another state was able to log into my acct with them and place and order FRAUDENTLY, and change the shipping address to that other state. BUY.Com keeps your credit card online and I saw no way to delete it. So someone just logged on and charged away and changed the shipping address to theirs. Buy.com canceled the order for me and closed the acct....but no explanation of why or how they let this happen and no word from them on whether they are pursuing this crime now or not. Really makes you feel safe and secure doing business with them(sarcastically). They don't seem to care or take fraud seriously and from my recent experience their server is NOT secure as they would have you believe. Further, they have no phone number to contact them in an emergency like this, only an email form. I am filing credit card/fraud reports with the police and law enforcement agencies against the ship to address AND buy.com for allowing this to happen. They have yet to give me a reasonable explanation of how this could have happened or what they are doing about it, so I have no other alternative but to be suspicious of them as well. All they sent me was an email that they closed my acct and asked me to register another one...real customer oriented there, buy.com....I wouldn't buy from you people again if my life depended on it. Ok, I just called and they are investigating it, I will update as I hear, and if they truly show they are customer oriented I will change my review...right now I am very frustrated and distrustful..and I have bought things from them over the last 3 yrs.
THey should at least have an option to NOT keep your credit card on their server. ...t

P.S. How often do you read something like this in a review:

"I am filing credit card/fraud reports with the police and law enforcement agencies against the ship to address AND buy.com for allowing this to happen."

HERE is another gem from Resellers Ratings, just a mere two days ago, from Rater neonjohn
---------------------------QUOTE-------------------------------------------

"4/27/04 1:09 AM (1 of 1 users found this review helpful)
I just placed my last order with buy.com. AT the end of checkout I was transfered to a screen claiming that I could get $10 back by signing up for "Reservation Rewards" (sic). Only down in the lawyer print do I read that by accepting this "reward" I would be authorizing a $7 a month charge to my card. What a fraud!!!!

This screen was accompanied by a woman's audio screeching that I really needed to sign up. Said screeching was really appreciated in the house at 1AM.

Avoid this place like the plague"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ah ! Yes, sounds almost like one of those E-mails that promise you something, but the bottom line always seems to be, "Send Money !"

Debiting $7 a month from your Credit Card comes out to $84 a year, if this claim is true about Buy.com
