I was on eBay back in the late 90s and I must have had about six or seven hundred transactions and maybe one or two problems in all that time, even when you had to wait for them to mail you a check and then wait for it to clear. When it became too much like a job I sort of fell away from it for a while but kept buying throughout the years. Recently I decided I'm going to try to sell some of this stuff I've been collecting all these years so I put some items up and I had a rather old and portable microphone that I put up there and I said that it was from 1938 and it looks perfect but I have no idea if it works, would make a good display item. I also said that I don't accept returns. So a guy bought it, said that it was damaged and sent his old beat-up one back to me. EBay gave him his money back and I lost $100 on that deal. Since Ebay started that money back guarantee thing, the buyer always wins. So it doesn't pay to be a seller on eBay anymore. The buyer is always right and the seller always loses. They also took other money out of my bank account that didn't belong to them adding up to over $56. The point is... EBay sucks. Switch to Etsy
Unfortunately shortly after I wrote the review I was locked out of hdfy. It looks like the only way you can pay for the service now is through a crypto currency because you can't use your credit card anymore. It really sucks the big one because this site was awesome. RIP HDFY
This is probably the best perceived value that I've ever felt from an online site that you had to make a monthly payment for. We can argue the legality of it at a later date, but as to the value of it, it is well worth it. It's only $5 a month for every movie or TV show ever made. When I first started about a year or two ago on there every now and then it wouldn't have a certain movie or show, but it's been months since I put something in there and they didn't have it. Of course new releases take a little bit longer maybe a week or two but they always get on there. And by the way if they don't have a movie that you want to see all you have to do is request it and they put it on there. They put two shows on there that I wanted to see. The only drawback is their payment system every now and then you have to re-log in and redo your payment information. When you get the first notice on your bank account you freaked out because it's from Istanbul, and you're like, who is that from Istanbul? Lol. But then you figure it out and it's all good. And the best thing is if the site gets shut down because it's illegal or copyright infringement or whatever the law is, you only lose $5. I closed my Netflix and my Amazon Prime account and saved about $35 a month. I literally AND figuratively love hdfy.
Tip for consumers:

They'll send you an email and say hey wouldn't it be cool to send your friends a little video of you dancing around with your head on some ridiculous cartoon. Then out of the blue they'll take $24 out of your account for membership for something. I have no idea what it's for because who in their right mind would pay $24 to send a dancing cartoon out every now and then to your friends. The answer is... nobody. That's obviously why they have to steal money from people. They did refund my money pretty quickly but they overdrew my bank account and cost me $35 that I couldn't get back. I would recommend that you read all the fine print very carefully when you go on that site.
Tip for consumers:

I've been on the site for about 7 years and I love it. It has a few problems basically because poets are weirdos. But still the best site without a doubt for poetry online.Definitely the biggest.They need to get a better posting board system Instead of trying to make you comment and a few other things but it's pretty close to being perfect. And if you're looking to hook up with somebody there's plenty of people on the prowl. So going over to all poetry get creative and you might even get lucky. Lol

It's fun

This user was banned from our site for harassing other members, which explains their upset review :( Just to respond to the other mentions - Poems - we try to avoid censoring poems, it sometimes takes us a day or two to review and discuss to be sure something is bad enough that it needs to come down. Entering your poems into contests has nothing to do with generating money, not sure how that would work anyways. Getting your poems out there is definitely something you have to put some effort into as there are a lot of poems on the site, entering contests is just one way among many to get your poems in front of more people. One negative word and immediately kicked off - we do give warnings and have a ban "ladder" where they get longer after each time you break the rules.
