GREAT site.

Yes, there CAN be bad transactions, but I have been a longtime member of eBay and have NEVER encountered one.

SUGGESTIONS:
-Only bid/purchase items from sellers with 98%+ feedback
-Don't buy things from a brand new user
-ONLY use PayPal to pay
-ALWAYS read the entire auction before bidding. Don't blame the seller for only accepting Paypal, fees, or taxes that you did not know about because you did not fully read the auction first.

Being a smart shopper is a must with eBay. Do so and you'll have no problems.

I had a very positive experience with AutoAnything. I ordered a front and rear sway bar in two separate orders on a Tuesday and received one sway bar Saturday. However, the other wont be here until Tuesday... so I am not sure why there is such a big difference in delivery time when they were ordered the same day.

I also enjoyed the discount I got on my first purchase! With that being said, the product I bought also qualified for a mail in rebate to the manufacture of the product so I called their customer support to make sure that they products they ship out come in the factory box so I could get the UPC code.

I am very happy/impressed with my purchase so far! If I come across any problems for the 2nd half of my order I will report back.

UPDATE* I ordered the other product a couple weeks after the first and had the same great experience! I didn't have any issues with the mail in rebates either. Satisfied!:)

Sorry to hear about everyone elses negative experience.

Just received a reminder e-mail to renew my current subscriptions since they were expiring.

They definitely had the best price on the internet and I added INC magazine for only $4.95 when I was checking out!

From what I remember, it does take a few weeks before you receive your first issue. However, since I am renewing 2 subscriptions I don't expect there to be any delays between months. We will see how long it takes to get my first INC magazine though.

I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 b/c I didn't receive my magazine super quick the first time I ordered.

Flat out, the BEST site for any sort of download.

All programs/software have been tested to be spyware/virus free so you can be assured you are safe when downloading anything. Also, pay attention to the reviews for the program you are about to download.

Watch out though, as quite a few programs are trials only, so be sure to not waste you time, look for the free ones! If you need protection for your computer, this is the place to go!

If you find my review helpful, please send me a Thank You and rate it!

This review is specific to Edmunds Price Promise Guarantee. If you are not familiar with it, it essentially allows you to search for a vehicle on Edmunds.com and will return results from various dealers in the area or region that you have specified. Upon finding a vehicle that you would like, you print out a certificate, walk in to the dealer and pay that price for the car.

Or at least that's what they want you to believe...

I was looking for a Hyundai Elantra and discovered the whole Edmunds Price Promise process and thought it would be a good thing to check out. Upon putting all the information in I found some great prices and was beyond excited! Note: When you get your search results sometimes it shows the price and other times you have to put your information and e-mail in and THEN it will bring you to the price certificate page. So, you print off the "Certificate" which has your name and "No Haggle Price". So, my wife and I found some great deals and printed a few off. Then we were flooded with calls from various dealerships that we inquired about through the Price Promise. In any case, we woke up around 5am and began a 3 1/2 drive to the dealership where we saw the car. We went through the usual dance of giving them our info, test driving vehicles, and then sitting down to negotiate. However, I wasnt worried because I had the Price Promise certificate and and my approval letter from my credit union. When I happily handed it over to the salesman he goes, "Oh, that is just a starting price and includes all incentives..." The certificate clearly stated that it included Hyundais $1,500 bonus cash but ALSO said, "You may ALSO qualify for these incentives too" which was listed BELOW the total price promise of the car which means those specific discounts has NOT been applied. After wasting ALL that time and getting irritated with the dealership, we drove another 30 minutes to a different dealer that we also had the certificate for. Guess what? Same freaking story "that is a starting price". Be aware that there went just 1 or 2 cars listed at this price, there were multiple - at least 6 at one dealer and about 10 at another that were very close in the $13,250 price range.

I WAS LIVID. Having just wasted all that time researching vehicles, driving, and believing that Edmunds Price Promise was actually a PROMISE. Please note that on their own website it specifically says this:

A certificate that guarantees your savings
A specific car available right now
A dedicated dealer contact to guide you through your purchase

http://www.edmunds.com/price-promise.html

It also says on the certificates to bring it to the dealership and avoid all haggling! It is guaranteed!

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM and a big waste of time.

We ended up going home and wasting the ENTIRE day, gas, food costs, and everything else because we actually believed the hype from the Price Promise.

I immediately went home and contacted Edmunds and when they responded, the Sr Customer care lady essentially stated, "The prices do seem extremely low when compared to other dealers... ill have to check and see if that is a problem on our end or theirs... we cannot force a dealer to give you that car to you for that price". WELL how is that any useful and HOW IS THAT A GUARANTEE?

She offered me a lousy $50 certificate to amazon and help in finding a car... which we did ourselves.

So, instead of getting a 2016 vehicle for $13,250 as GUARANTEED by Edmunds Price Promise no haggle... we ended up paying well over $3,000 more for the same vehicles as the Price Promise and it would have been more had we not known someone who worked at that dealership.

AVOID THE LIE, HOPE, AND WASTE OF TIME THAT COMES WITH THE PRICE PROMISE OF EDMUNDS. Never again will I trust anything of their site, promise, or any other info they spew out. I AM LIVID with them and their false advertising, marketing gimmicks, and co-scamming with the dealers they partner with.

After wasting all that time driving, getting approved from my credit union for a price i thought i needed and then having to get my credit run again for a higher loan amount... all because of the FALSE Price Promise from Edmunds... wow... a whole $50 gift card for all of that. NOT A HAPPY CONSUMER AND WHAT A PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION.

I RECOMMEND EVERYONE AVOID THEIR SITE AFTER MY EXPERIENCE. If for some reason they get in touch with me I will provide an update.

Ignore my grammar/punctuation mistakes... I am just livid with the situation and don't want to remind myself of the whole awful ordeal.

UPDATE: I got in touch with Edmunds a few more time and it was just more corporate jargon and excuses. Nothing else was done about the experience I had. All they stated they were doing was letting upper management know about the case and possibly get in touch with the dealer(s) who I dealt with when trying to buy the new vehicle.

My opinion still stands to AVOID Edmunds at all cost when using it to search for a new vehicle. However, I am sure using it for a used vehicle search is just as bad.

Great site to read about movies before spending money going to see one or renting one.

However, I suggest reading many reviews, both from the community and from the well known reviewers since there will always be people who both like and dislike a movie. Multiple times I have seen a movie that had great reviews but thought it was awful and vice versa.

Good luck and hope you find a good one!

While I have wrote great reviews about eBay and Half.com, Paypal is a different story.

For those of you who don't know, PayPal and Half.com are all owned by eBay.

First, not only do you get charged fees for eBay, but you again get charged to use PayPal when you receive money. So essentially, when you sell an item, you have to pay two fees to the same company.

Second, I have had one instance where PayPal helped, yet another where they completely blew me off and ignored proof and documentation I had.

My suggestion is that if you are doing a transaction that involves alot of money and has the possibility of something going wrong, don't do it or don't use Paypal. Now I have had only one or two bad experiences in the many times that i've used it, it still can be a good service assuming you use it with people whom you trust.

Like everything else, just be careful, check, and double check!

One of the worst sites on the internet.

Nothing but a bunch of freaks who have an IQ of less than 10 in my personal opinion. While free speech is allowed, this site promotes activists and pickets during the funerals of men and women who have served in the armed forces to protect our freedom and safety.

It is very sad to see a "church" promote and work towards something so disheartening.

One of my favorite websites for news! It def. Could use a makeover in terms of site layout!

By far the best search engine.

The algorithm used for the searches are more complex and definitely more secret then their competitors, but the results are far more accurate and relevant. In addition, Google can be used in a much deeper way then by using simple search terms. However, most average computer users don't need them.

Great place to find good deals!

However, I would HIGHLY suggest using a seperate e-mail when making an account on Craigslist. There are THOUSANDS of scammers who use craigslist everyday not only to take your money but to steal your information too. After making an account you'll have a variety of e-mails asking you to update/confirm your information which is your classic spam and overseas spammers.

When selling products you MUST do two things:

If you list your phone #, list is as 123- f o u r 56 - 7 eight 9 10. (Helps prevent spam)

When you explain to customers on how to reply, say something like, If interested put exactly "7 I want your xxxxxxxx item 7" as this will let you know immediately if the e-mail you receive is spam or not.

Finally, be smart. If you are going to pick up something, please bring a friend (more the better) just in case for your safety as there are messed up people in this world.

Great Site!

This actually helps consumers to protect themselves from sites who take advantage of them and feel like they can do nothing. NOW THEY CAN.

THANK YOU

I have used this site only one time, but my experience was beyond great.

I ordered seat brackets for my vehicle and payed more for shipping to get them sooner. However, when I received them one day later then I was supposed to (somewhat of a big deal as this is my only vehicle and my seats were already out), I contacted the support and they IMMEDIATELY refunded the amount that I had payed for faster shipping. They did so without any hassle and were very friendly about the whole thing. One of the best transactions I have ever experienced.

The guys at horsepowerfreaks are great and the customer service is top notch. Keep it up guys!

A+

One of my favorite websites for news! It def. Could use a makeover in terms of site layout!

I prefer eBay over Amazon but all of my experiences with Amazon.com have been pretty good! Definitely have a great search engine, prices, and of course their reviews are helpful too.

Though it is only offered in a few towns, this site is great!

Assuming more than 20 people buy the deal, it becomes valid! Some deals are great while others are so-so. They usually have a different one each day so check back often!

The site is nothing like it used to be. Everything essentially has to be bought in order to share. It is now about money instead of cool and creative cards.

The booking went well and didn't have any problems. I have yet to stay at the hotel I have book but the actual process went flawlessly and the reviews of the hotels are an added bonus. I'd recommend it!

I have had Hotmail since 1999 before Microsoft owned it.

Although I have tried other e-mails, Hotmail is an excellent choice. It is reliable and the search function to find old emails works extremely well! Free yet works like a product you have to pay for. I'm happy!

Facebook is the leader in social websites.

It is easy to use, fun, convenient, real time, and SAFE! You can view photos, send messages, chat, and even poke! In addition, it is becoming a gold mine for company's to advertise about their products. With that being said, you also have an array of applications or games to play to make your experience better!

Lastly, do NOT blame Facebook or anyone else if your information gets out. Facebook is EXTREMELY secure and offers great protection of privacy. However, you are in charge of how public or private your account is. No need to blame anyone else if you do not take the 20 seconds to change the privacy settings. With that being said, choose carefully if you want to add co-workers as your friends as they can see all of the information and photos you have posted though Facebook has now added features where you can choose to block certain parts of your page from specific people.

Good Luck! Have Fun! Adjust your privacy settings to your desire.
