Comment on Leaders Merchant Services – Don’t get ripped off by Carole Keyser

I wish I had found your site before I signed on for my three year imprisonment by this outfit. After seeking my very first merchant card account I have had nothing but fee after fee ripped from my checking account and shoddy equipment with which to do business. Their latest robbery occurred when they tapped me for $99 PCI DSS annual fee! Nothing about this in their contract except an open ended clause allowing them to charge whatever they please whenever they wish to do so. Thirty long months to go until I can escape………

I have been ripped off by Leaders as well. I have a delivery service and clients occasionally pay us by credit card. I can do 3-4 charges every month, not a lot. Leaders promised me a flat rate. Then every month I have been charged some other fees. I had to call a salesman, who signed my with Leaders, and threaten him with small claims court in MA. Only after that Leaders canceled those strange fees. In a couple of month they charged me again with same thing. Finally, they don’t post a money to your account, but wait for a couple of days. I hope someone will sue them and put out of business. I will be first who will support this lawsuit.

Comment on Is Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising right for you? by davidquallio

In response to your comment, trust me I have used a lot of test rounds, keywords, and companies. I have worked with many SEO companies like yours and even they couldn’t make PPC a valuable marketing option. We were in the top 95% of lowest prices in the categories we advertised on beating out Buy.com and Amazon.com on almost every item at that time, so price point wasn’t the issue. The real problem that I am speaking about here is the fact that the PPC companies are sending traffic that is not really out to buy a particular product and they are overcharging by inflating their click numbers and billing for more than actually sending. There are a lot of problems with PPC companies and until the deep pocket online merchants realize it and quit using them I am afraid this behavior will continue.

when spending that much money on a pay per click campaign would it be worth while to try a few direction first with some test rounds? try a couple different companies and a couple different keyword targets or site targets… invest small amounts initially to judge the ROI? are there details that would make this more difficult?

I just signed up for your seller program. This is by far the best advertising option I have found to sell my jewelry online. Thank You
