This company decided to charge my debit card $13. I had never heard of this company before and had never seen their website before either. When I saw the charge on my bank account I contacted the scammer AND filed a fraud report with my bank.
Scammer company told me that months ago when I placed an order for a Land's End ladies top I had also checked the FreeShipping.com box to allow them to charge me. I never did any such thing. I almost always make purchases on Amazon and had never come across anything like this before.
I complained to the scammer company about this and they promised to refund my money. Well they never did but my bank did. My bank sent me a letter telling me they had taken care of it and that FreeShipping.com indeed is a scam.
Because my bank has a lot of security features to protect customers, my debit card was cancelled. However, I wasn't aware of this until I saw an email that said I had requested a new card. I hadn't. After discussing this horrible ordeal with my bank's customer service representative I was told that I had opted to receive text messages every time I purchased anything. If I was the one who made the purchase I wouldn't need to respond but if I didn't, I am supposed to respond with a "NO". I never received the message so of course I didn't respond and my bank proceeded to issue a new card. I haven't received it yet and changing debit cards has become a hassle for me.
So thanks to FreeShipping.com, I can't use the debit card I've had for many years and have to wait for the new one to arrive. I have no access to cash until then. My bank doesn't have a branch anywhere near me.
What a freaking hassle.

Please be very careful when you purchase anything online and look at your checking account often in case there is an odd transaction you don't recognize.

Weeks ago I purchased a pair of women's boots and a blouse from Baezshop.com. It took seemingly forever for my order to arrive and when it did, nothing fit. The boots are too big and the blouse is too small.
I contacted the online store and requested a refund and asked them to email a shipping label to me so I can return the items. I received an email today from this company and was told they don't provide shipping labels; the shipping is the customer's responsibility. Not only that, I was told that the company is in China and I would of course have to pay for the International shipping. It took them three days to tell me this.
First of all, I didn't realize that the merchandise was being shipped to me from China. I thought that this company was here in the US.
Even if I do decide to pay for an outrageous shipping fee, I'm sure I would probably never see my refund or if they decided to refund me I"m sure it would take months to get it.

Now I'm stuck with items I cannot use.
What kind of a company doesn't offer a shipping label? Amazon does and many other companies do.
Stay away from Baezshop.com and buy elsewhere.

I never subscribed to this foundation and yet I have been receiving numerous pieces of mail from them. It's always the same old thing. Requests for donations.
I am not religious at all and I have contacted them several times asking them to stop sending me solicitations. I was told that it would take a few weeks before my address was removed from their system but I continue to receive their mail. They don't even know my actual name.
In each envelope they send two Christmas cards both filled with scriptures from the Bible. They expect everyone to send these to family and friends. I do not celebrate Christmas and have nothing to do with my family at all. My friends are not religious nor do they celebrate Christmas. They would think I had lost my mind if I sent them Christmas cards.
I don't know what it takes to stop this mail but I want it to stop.

I am an artisan and have an Etsy store and a store on Storenvy.com. I wanted to expand my sales so I created an account on Artfire.com.
After trying to setup my store for about an hour and being frustrated with the site I finally gave up. I was able to create an account, write a bio and upload a photo to use as my profile pic but wasn't able to do anything else. I read the FAQ page and tried to figure out why I am not able to list my products.
The website claims that it is free for sellers to sell their products but I don't believe this is true. I am not saying 100% that this is not so because I may have overlooked something on the site that isn't allowing me to list my items for sale. I DO know that I am pretty good at navigating around on sites like Artfire.com and as I stated, I have an Etsy.com store. Etsy is not free to use and it clearly states that when you create an account to sell.
Artfire.com appears to not be free as well and I have yet to find a "contact us" feature on the site. There is a forum and I did post my concerns there.
I don't want to give Artfire.com a negative review because I haven't been able to use it yet. I am just saying that I don't believe it is absolutely free to use.
