Attn: EVERYONE!..about vendors!

[girth]

care to explain how it helps protect??? As far as I see it, it only makes money for the site, money needed for hosting and crap...

Definately misleading...

Exactly. To say that buying from an AV is any safer for the buyer than buying from some chump that just joined is a statement pulled out of the sky with no factual backing.

Your statement above was pulled out of the sky...no...more like your ASS.

1. No AV has ever scammed this community...Several vendors WITHOUT AV status HAVE unfortunately scammed this community.

2. I not only ask every potential AV the following...

Your FULL Name
-Business license number
-Company Name and address
-Site Username (this would be the name of your company)
-Contact Information (phone, e-mail)
-Website
-Include information of the products and services you offer

3. but also let them know what is expected from an AV and...

4. via a mini interview...I can see there intentions, experience etc...and

5. try to do some research to see if the info they have provided me is consistent and reliable...in some cases I will seek members that will vouch for the vendor...

I've been running the AV program since I started it about 2 years ago...do not think for a second that I don't take this task seriously! I don't appreciate your false accusations. I'm doing the most I can short of having my own FBI.

Think before you waste my time with such statements...What I needed to say has been said and discussed...this thread will now be for viewing only.
