Flippa Screws It Up Three Out of Four Times
I just wanted to give some of you a heads up about Flippa's services. I just started to list sites on Flippa about eight months ago. And within this short time frame, Flippa has managed to make substantial blunders to my auctions three out of four times.
The first auction was really successful and I didn't have a single issue, and I assumed it was how all their auctions would run. But after the initial auction Flippa consistently made mistakes on every auction I listed.
With regards to the the second auction, I paid for a screenshot on their listing row, but it disappeared two days after the auction started. I didn't notice the problem until the auction was about half way over. Flippa provided a $10 credit for their mistake, but since most action happens in the initial and ending stages of the auction, the mistake probably had some negative influence.
On the third auction, I noticed that one of Flippa's third party service providers, Siteliner, was showing that 99% of my content was duplicated. Since I personally wrote all the content and I did a Google search myself for duplicate content, I knew that this information was wrong. So I contacted customer support by opening a ticket. Without further looking into the issue, they wrote back and said that the information was correct and subsequently closed the ticket.
Today I listed my fourth and final listing with Flippa. I checked the ad and title before paying for the auction fees. But after submitting the ad the dashes in between some of the phrases in the title disappeared. Now the auction title is jumbled, and it makes no sense.
I filled out another ticket, but I don't really have any high expectations about Flippa resolving the problem.
Arrgh! Has anyone else had similar experiences, or am I just having really bad luck with Flippa?
