S K.

I first posted a profile that was open to all kinds of listings: rooms for rent, people looking for rooms, people looking to find an apartment with someone. I found an apartment on my own, then paid the $20 to use the full service and submitted a second profile using the same email address, following the instructions on their website. I was trying to advertise an available room. The site never updated my profile, and all of the listings I received from that point forward were people advertising rooms for rent. I had already read all of the extremely contempt laden FAQs and instructions on the site, which were not helpful, so I emailed them asking for help. They sent me a form response to the effect of "It sounds like you're not getting as many matches as you wanted. Here's why that's your fault...". I emailed them back and reiterated that the problem was the type of matches I was getting were wrong. I shouldn't have been getting profiles with rooms for rent. No response. I forwarded them a match showing that my profile was never updated. No response.

So I just called my bank and disputed the charge, because f these people. They seem to detest the people who pay them for this defective service, so make their lives easier by not using it and getting your money back from your bank.

This is some kind of front for identity theft, using ebay and their independent website to sell game codes with the caveat that you MUST provide a photo of your passport, and a photo of you holding your passport. Not just photos, though. CLEAR photos. With all of your information showing.

Why does a video game seller need to know your passport number? Or your place of birth? Or your middle name? Obviously, they don't. So don't send it to them.

If you are reading this and bought from them through ebay, call ebay customer service and report them. Requesting this information is 100% against ebay TOS.

If you have paid them through paypal on their website, contact paypal customer service and explain what they are doing.

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION IF YOU CAN HELP IT.

Fun additional tidbit: their ebay listings say they are located in Germany, though their seller page places them in Hong Kong. The prices are listed in--I think--Canadian dollars. It's all bizarre.
