That really sucks. I'm no help, but I hope it gets sorted out for you.

After WUS got hacked I never bothered to do whatever they wanted us to do to get our accounts back.

Can't you just host your pics on a 3rd party hosting site and link to high resolution images?

I buy and sell a lot over there and most of the time things go ok except there are those times.... for example, I just sent a guy some $$ for a watch after it was agreed to that he would ship the watch to me express as soon as he got the money.

I paid extra to send the money express (money order) and although he received the money yesterday in plenty of time, he still didn’t ship until today - whatever, so far so good.

Well....He just emailed me to tell me “made it to the post office - was busy, but I got the package mailed! I don’t have the tracking number on me but it should be there Monday or Tuesday. Have a great weekend!”

Faaaack me. I hate people.

The guy is an investment banker so he doesn’t have the excuse of being illiterate - he obviously just doesn’t give a sht

The way the mail is going, I suspect I might have the watch next week, or I might not.

That's what I do. I've been banned 3 times now. I don't think they care enough to trace back my IP now. I post here and there but mostly maintain it for sales.

I could but I’d have to figure that out. I realize it’s probably really simple but I’m working 11 hour days and don’t really feel like going there (WUS or the third party site).

I suspect his firm may be looking for a new banker when he doesn’t show up for work next week.

You were with me all week ;)....

Thanks now we just need to delete this entire thread and it’s game on...

Sad thing is that within 30 seconds, from open source data, I know more about him than he does. Btw, he’s been on line most of the day, but has ignored my numerous attempts at getting a tracking number for the package.. :raised:

That sucks.

I was banned for exposing that they were sharing peoples data with sponsors.

Ernie, though long gone, you are still a prick.

:lol:

I will send a sweet email to the fine fellas and see if I can peddle my goods there. Wise business decision. Can't see how this isn't a sure thing!
