My experience with ideabuyer was great. I really appreciate the time taken to ensure long term success for my product there's no way I could have gotten a full vision and applications needed in order to fulfill my dream. Thank you to the entire Idea Buyer Team for believing in me and thanks so much for all the hard work put forth on my project.
After numerous complaints the district attorney's office has filed a class action lawsuit against this company and their response was to of course declare bankruptcy so they don't have to give the money back to all the people they stole it from. Such cowards. That's why it says their business is permanently closed on their website. They've change names so many times to avoid their shady past. Don't do business with them ever. That's $8000 I would never get back. Sad.
I am going make dael iwth and paying for fees for product launch?
Can any one help me to persue contract or not? Wth Colin Egbert
The site is all and good but how about some updates like including social media share buttons and cool little features like that. I posted my patent on here about three weeks ago and have had three people contact me which I'm excited about but I had to move to email because the messaging was so hard to format for me and I couldn't send attachments in the messaging center.
So, here are some of my recommendations.
1. Update the messaging center to allow for attachments.
2. Include social media sharing so patent holders can easily share their listing on sites like facebook, twitter, linkedin, and pinterest. Oh, and maybe Youtube too.
3. Maybe do a featured patent highlight daily on new patents on your site? For example, mine :)) ). See third one down on the home page :).
4. Offer some consultation on pricing a patent? I didn't have a good idea of how to do this and didn't see any tutorials? Would be very, very helpful to people like me that are more of the technical side and less of the business.
5. To the point above, how about some template agreements to be made available for people.
6. The ability to upload videos to your listing. Currently, I see I can link to videos but it would be nice to be able to put them right there in my page.
Wow, much longer than I thought but I hope the company makes these updates and then I would give it a great review.
