![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Ebay ItemRight well i was thinking it was just someone selling a ebook with their referal links in...but now im not to sure. The feedback which he has received is all really good! And the "email someone" step isnt really part of the freebie concept....

| iPod 60gb | Re: Ebay ItemThis is what you do: Step 1. email a wholesale company saying that you are a company that is interested in making a bulk order but before you do you would like a sample of what you are getting. Step 2. get the sample and keep it. Step3. change your mind about the bulk order but keep the sample for free (or maybe just paying shipping) this does work as I know people that have done it |

![]() | Re: Ebay ItemI would not trust that at all, check the invoices, its from a chinese company, you select what item you want, email them the order and pay with western union, seen a site like this before, guy on msn said they do not have a company so that is why they send the gifts out so cheaply, scam. |

| The One | Re: Ebay ItemIt's like that trick where you write to companies saying that you're a reviewer for such and such magazine or site and if they could sent you sample products for review and publicity. |

| iPod 30gb | Re: Ebay ItemYou won't get anything from him, he is selling the information on where to find companies that will send you samples of their products, not selling the actual products himself. It isn't a referral site, its just a few links to different sites with suppliers of products on them. If anyone is interested one of the sites is probably www.alibaba.com |

| Call me Ben .... | Re: Ebay ItemAnyone buy it here? coz I am thinking of buying it. Seems easier than refferal systems ... And the feedback from the people who have bought it seems fine, but one does say that a search engine could find the info ... Anyway shall ib uy it or not? Ben

| iPod Nano 1GB | Re: Ebay ItemAnything you recieve from a company you can keep legally, it was introduced by trading standards in 2004. Basically if a company sends you something you didn't order, irrespective of how you got it (so long as you dind't steal it!)and there is no proof of ordereing it then you get to keep it! it's a protection of consumers rather than companies! Short Story! I ordered one copy of this Tae Bo Box kit (was like £40!) And it hadn'tt come in a week so emailed them twice about it, got my original order. Then got another two copies! and they coudlnm't charge me for it because i hadn't ordeered it, and coudln't ask for it back becuase as soon as said above if a company sends you an item without proof of ordering it they cannot have it back! i subsequently sold them on ebay for like £70! was a nice day!
