  • E-Meals

6/15/15

I love this site! After comparing several other menu & recipe planning websites we decided to sign up with this one.

Here is why I like it:
-Detailed shopping
-Menu is delicious about 90% of the time, out of the ones we have made, we've only had one sub-par dinner
-Teaches you new ways to cook and how to think outside of the box
-Variety of menus that you can choose from weekly
- Meals are easy to prepare and cook for working families

Cons:
- Some of the foods are hard to find, we just use substitutes
- Some foods are uncommon and take time to track down in the store
- Shopping list is grouped by department, but could be further organized ( for example, Lettuce will be at the top of the section and cabbage will be at the bottom, why not try to group like items).

EMeals will only allow you to cancel your subscription via telephone. They will remind you several times that you agreed to this in your TOS when applying a credit card to your account. Just like the cable company, they know you won't read this. Because of this inconvenience, I will not use their product again, I subscribed to SAVE time, not be conned into extending my subscription. If you are okay with calling them and hearing their nonsense when you are ready to cancel, this is a good program.

We are in the modern world now where things should be easily done online.

Ok, first of all Listia is a love/hate relationship for me. I love the variety of "free" items and a lot of the community is fun to talk to. Auctions are simple to list, the only thing I would change about that format is that you can only upload one photo at a time, instead of several. I wish ebay would use their listing format!

Now the bad, Listia is poorly monitored for fraudulent items and unfortunately if they don't do something about it soon, I have a feeling they will be out of business. I have purchased counterfeit coupons off of Listia, provided documentation from the company that they were fake coupons and Listia did nothing to the seller. She went on selling these coupons for months, with no reprimand. What Listia isn't thinking about is that by allowing these on their site, these companies can sue them. So, unless they can start listening to their bidders and allow for a process that allows us to report a seller without bidding on their items, they will be in trouble soon themselves.

I don't spend a ton of time on Listia, maybe a few hours a week, and generally find about 5 scammers a week without trying. Listia needs to monitor their auctions better and educate their buyers and sellers better.

So, if you decide to use Listia, review feedback like crazy! If it sounds too good to be true, it is. If a seller has several auctions with blocked comments, that is also another warning sign.

Please fix your system Listia..

Hi May W.,

Thanks for providing us with this feedback. We do our best to monitor auctions so that we can take action on any fraudulent activity. If you see a listing that is against the rules, please flag the auction so one of our moderators can review it. You can also submit a support ticket so we can review it further.

Thanks,
Tom
