Zeek.me was a popular website with discounted gift cards, offering deals for top retailers. The site built up more than a thousand reviews on Trustpilot before it was discontinued. All initial reviews were positive, with reviewers praising available discounts as well as the ability to pay using cryptocurrency, most notably Bitcoin. Even popular gift card websites sometimes have to shutter, and Zeek.me became one of them. There are always going to be casualties. It is truly survival of the fittest.

No other buy-sell website tells joiners they can only buy-sell within their neighborhood. What kind of crazy is this? That's what buyers/sellers faced BEFORE the Internet was born. Contrary to this site's attempt to also be social media, I don't want to become friends or bond with strangers. If nothing else, VarageSale encourages some vague notion that buying/selling goods within a tight geographic area is going to help neighbors bond and improve the neighborhood. Nonsense. If I can see a product online with a price but can't buy it because I don't live in the other guy's neighborhood as defined by VarageSale.com, it's a form of profiling and the FTC suspects it could be restraint of trade across state, county or municipal lines. VarageSale.com appears to be a Canadian-based outfit and I'm sure Canadian officials would frown upon such unreasonable restrictions. The admins have taken or been given god-like powers. I was never given a reason why my account remained "pending" indefinitely and the admin stopped responding to my questions. Finally, I (hopefully) closed the account and requested that all the necessary and unnecessary personal information I shared with VarageSale be permanently deleted and never shared or sold with anyone. What other buy-sell website requires a face photo and other deep personal information. Is this just a front for gathering personal, identifiable information on Americans to sell to scammers or worse?
