easyhosting Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi all Just thought i would let you know of a * by 84host.com who are using WHMCS to aid in their *. you order VPS through ebay when they use classified ads and a link to their page, they take your money and then you get a message that they have upgraded you to another VPS with free lxamin as the one you order is not good enough for to run the controlpanel you requested, but the upgraded one is cheaper than what you have paid them so you complain, but they ignore your emails and your support tickets but then what they do is remove their database for their main site, so this goes down.

iwfjacob Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I think eBay is perfectly fine, just check the feedback and make sure the transaction is covered by PayPal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyhosting Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 along with their customer support, which does not exist and the fact that you pay for one plan with paid directadmin and they suddenly give you a cheaper plan with the free 40 account edition of LxAdmin and no refund of diffence let along a refund under their own guarantee.

mojowill Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 hosting on eBay? I've seen it but can't believe people would actually buy hosting from eBay though, oh well each to their own i suppose. Good luck they will screw you eventually. Oh and btw if you are a hosting provider why are you buying crappy VPS hosting of eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonsoft Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Ebay is not the problem the problem is people don't look for the right things... such as company that has a real phone number where you can talk to a live person, or a company that has some kind of accrediation, we use BBB online.. and it works for us. generally people who are scammers wont spend the $$ on this accredidation. Aslo ones that take REAL credit cards, as again they have to be a real merchant and be subject to those terms and operate thier business ethically, otherwise they are subject to chargebacks.
