Score one for the good guys.

Crystal Wells Miller of Vendio.com, and previously of Andale.com, Honesty.com, and Otwa.com, accused me of stalking her in a thread on the thehowcafe.com, describing a new Vendio banner on thehowcafe.com.

As you see in the link below, Crystal’s comment that I “have been stalking [me] for years on these boards” has been removed by The HOW moderators, but no apology appeared from Vendio, nor Crystal. Her post also included information about how long and hard she had tried to keep me from stalking her, but I guess the mods removed that portion also. This is the same Crystal that has a “lawyer on retainer” just for me, and had once threatened to sue myself, the guy that owned my house at one time, my ISP, and IIRC, probably my dog.

The thread was created by Crystal on 3/31, I made a comment that Auctiva.com offers the same free store, and a whole lot more, than what Vendio provides (4/16), and then I answered a question by SweetGalDecals about why Vendio offers FREE STORE, but it requires a credit card and payment to post to their support board.

The post that was edited by the moderators at The HOW was #28 in this thread. After Crystal posted it, I reported the post to moderators, and created my own response saying that “personal attacks will not be allowed at The HOW”.

I don’t even know if Crystal knows her post was edited, and mine removed because there’s no note of that in the post. I don’t know why my post regarding personal attacks was removed, as it was just a restatement of The HOW’s board rules, but I’d be willing to bet a cake that Crystal whined about it.

Goofy Crystal, I can’t believe she’s still at Vendio after all these years of proclaiming that she’d never work there.

Vendio Banner at HOW and Offer
————————————-
Crystal 3/31
Hi,
When we were looking at industry areas for banner placement. I recommended HOW (which is my way of supporting how). Anyway, I wanted to explain the offer as Karyl had a question on pricing and what is free when she saw it and I wanted to clarify upfront.

First, the Vendio store is 100% free. That’s free listing, free hosting, free images and no final value fee (success fee).

The Vendio Store is on the Vendio Platform. IF and ONLY IF you use the platform to list to eBay or Amazon there is a $10.00 per month charge for unlimited listings plus a small FVF (pricing on home page, big link, right on top). Additionally, we are waiving any Vendio Platform fees for AMAZON for the rest of this year.

I hope that explains it Karyl (and anyone else who might click and have a question).

In addition, as long as I’m here. I wanted to tell you that the store is full feature. Its not a “starter store” where we will sell you additional add on’s or where you’ll need to purchase other items to get it to work..its full function. Rather than rehash features. I’ll leave you with a link so you can read what others are saying..(I particularly like Henrietta’s Red Ink Diary)..

So here is the link: http://www.vendio.com/ecommerce/news

and one from brewsnews’s that we haven’t put up yet : Vendio Free Store, A Bargain or a Bust : http://thebrewsnews.com/2009/03/30/v…ain-or-a-bust/

Anyway let me know if you have any questions..

Crystal 4/13 (SD – trying to get people to listen to her)
so..Curious here

So who has built or is building a free store?

I ask, because I’m’ curious..but also because I’d like to know if you need any help..

I’ve built a few so far and am enjoying it..so wondering..if any of you have tried..

SneakyDave (SD – I take her bait)

Sounds like the same thing Auctiva is doing, did they stop their marketing push for their free services, and Vendio figured they’d better do the same thing?

Actually, it looks like everything at Auctiva is free, not just the store. I haven’t used them, but it seems the price is right.

Thanks Crystal.

I’m working on my store. I went to the Community link to post a question and it asked for my credit card information?? And thinking it was a glitch I tried replying to another thread that was already started and it did the same thing.

Is it supposed to charge a person to post on the message boards?
