Would appreciate some advice...Please

9 replies
Hi ..I am a very disheartened Newbie.....but I don't want to be a whiner. So please forgive me if I sound so.
Yesterday I purchased Traffic Siphon...possible a GIANT mistake. At their suggestion I purchased a Domain and hosting from HostJester. I have nothing to show for this..no acknowledgement email..zilch..but of course my payment went through ($107.00+). I have cancelled through PayPal & filed a dispute for a refund since I haven't gotten anything. I'm at a loss as what to do next. I would like my Domain at least.....but I don't know what to do since they will not respond.( I can't afford these kind of 'screw-ups' ..I thought this could be a way to help me get out of my 'hole'..it is next to impossible to trust anyone anymore)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jan

    If you are unhappy with your purchase, the first thing to do is to contact the seller of whatever it is that you bought. You said you bought it yesterday but haven't heard from anyone. Maybe, just maybe, you are one of thousands of people who sent the seller a question and he/she is getting back to people as fast as they can.

    FWIW - I don't have a clue what Traffic Siphon is, who is behind it, and whether or not you bought it from WF or not.

    There are VERY trustworthy people in the world and here on WF, and possibly there are just as many who are not. Have a plan. Slow down. Don't reinvent the wheel. If you are looking for something that is "easy to get rich quick", reconsider what you think is meant by "easy" and "quick".

    HTH,

    I too know nothing about Traffic Syphon but sometimes I have had to wait a while especially in a product launch phase for the product to be set up and delivered as stated in the sales copy. It may well be that the owner has been swamped with orders. No excuse I know!

    Regards

    Get a refund for everything, forget about the domain and start all over when you have a good idea of what you would like to do. Throw $37 for War Room membership and learn some more about IM.

    Hey Jan,

    As mentioned above, could just be that there is a time lag and your questions will be answered. It could also be that the email went into your spam folder or maybe just didn't get delivered - email is not 100% reliable.

    I wouldn't just assume that you are getting ripped off, though I mean how much time did you give them to respond?

    Anyway, since you have filed a dispute you will likely get your money back so I wouldn't stress too much over it. But as you did instead of letting the vendor respond then they may not be in a rush to answer your emails.

    Sound advice above to come up with a business plan and then invest in the programs that will help you reach the goals of the plan.

    Thanks for everyone's input. I have access to the Traffic Siphon ...but is not what they said it would be.....I did a search for reviews and that led me to Warrior Forum the resopnse has not been good at all.
    My main problem right now is the seperate Domain and hosting that I purchased.....I have had NO response from them, no confirmation email nothing. I am afraid since I have been told and have read ...I cannot get a refund ..but I am going to try. How long should I wait and what would be my next step?

    Again,,,,thanks and really Thank you for being here,

    Well, if you did a paypal dispute, I think the seller has 7 days to respond, and then paypal takes a while to look at that and then you would get your money back if they decide in your favor.

    You don't think you can get a refund for the hosting? or Traffic Syphon? Or is it all tied into 1 payment?

      A few weeks ago I also got a website set up through Hostjester. I was not happy and requested Hostjester to cancel and give me a refund, as I wished to use a different hosting service. They refused point blank.

      The Traffic Siphon is purchased through Clickbank ....I haven't cancelled that yet, I think it might not be too difficult to do so. In their (TS) information "intro/lessons" they promote a "free webite" set up to help get started..blah, blah, blah....if you go to HostJester and get your Domain and hosting. Did that, paid through PayPal.

      I have purchased Domains before thru Go Daddy and 1and1....never had any problem....some have taken a bit longer than others but at least I got a response email. that's pretty automatic. I waited hours ...emailed and emailed through different departments..it's like nobody home. Can I fight this thru my credit card or would this hurt my relationship with PayPal ?

      I am learning real quick to come here and check things out. I have done so in the past but coudn't figure out how to join. Did this time and I will be upgrading......Maybe there's hope after all.....woke up inthe middle of the night very angst and depressed.....feeling better about things now.....Thanks for being here.
