I hope that there is a large audience that views this site because this is very important to potential Epower and Profit subscribers. Epower and Profit may be one of the best well-organized and highly orchestrated scams I have seen in quite sometime. Just think, Epower and Profit offers you the opportunity to make a fortune from your home without having to go to work. That seems pretty enticing right?
I decided to buy this offer after seeing it advertised on television on night. I did not buy it because I was interested in Ebay as a whole and making a fortune from my home, but what I was interested in were the thousands of wholesalers they supposedly had access to. When a person calls Epower and Profit, the sales rep offers your tons of other services that can come with your package and if you are not careful, you will end up paying roughly $400.00 or more for your service. However, I am a knowledgable person so I refused every optional service they offered. However, I agreed with the option of receiving it within 3-5 business days for an extra $8 because otherwise they said I would have to wait "two-three" weeks for receiving the package.
I finally received the package after about 8 days. On the invoice, I was charged 29.95 for the package and 16.94 for shipping and handling. At this point, I do not have a problem with the service; I seem to be pretty content thus far. However, what Epower and Profit fails to mention is that the first month of the VIP auction Services is free, but thereafter, you will be charged 34.95 montly. And for those who sign up for extra services, you will be charged 34.95 a month plus the extra service fees which can range from anywhere between 34.95-about $300.00 a month. Now, realistically, who wants to waste this type of money monthly on a crappy service? You will see why I call it a crappy service shortly.
I will begin to list tons of reasons why I think this is the biggest scam I have seen in a while. As mentioned earlier, the main reason I bought this package was to have access to the thousands of products they said they had access to at wholesale prices. What Epower and Profits fail to mention is that items sell on Ebay for 25% less than they would cost in the store or if you ordered it online from the manufacturer. I was shocked when I viewed the Epower and Profit High Margin website, which was supposed to contain items at wholesale prices. For example, a CANON INKJET PHOTO PRINTER I900D is going for $253.00 on their wholesaler warehouse website, but on the Canon website, you can buy this same printer for $199.99. So, not only did they raise the price value of the products they are selling on their "wholesaler" website, but they are lieing to Epower and Profit members who are new to ebay and don't know any better.
So, I decided to look at some of the prices on ebay for the CANON INKJET PHOTO PRINTER I900D and to my surpise I saw quite a few with a starting bid of $253.00. They were obviously people who were tricked into belieiving that they were selling a printer for cheap. So, not only did they have an over-priced item selling on ebay, there were not any bids on any of the items. And do you know why? One, the item was over-priced. Two, you can get the item for much cheaper on the Canon website. Three, items sell for 25% less on ebay than they would in a store, and in this case they're basically being sold for 25% more.
Also, not only did I see more than one of these items listed for the same price, they all had the same template. The Epower and Profits system state their state of the arch templates help gain more customers, but they only offer three templates, so you are bound to see 100s of ebay sellers with the same exact template. I feel bad for these new ebay sellers who are being tricked into believeing they can make a fortune off of following the Epower and Profits system. Yes, you can make a fortune off of Ebay. No, you will not make a fortune using Epower and Profits.
Anyway, so after comparing tons of prices and seeing that the wholesale prices they have are not wholesale at all, I decide to cancel my subscription and return the item because there is a 30 day money-back gaurauntee. So, I call Epower and Profits to cancel my account and it takes me a little over an hour to get in touch with a sales rep. Then once I got in touch with a sales rep, she tried to persuade me for 20 min. Why i should keep the system. Then I decided to educate her about Ebay because it appeared she had been brain-washed by Epower and Profits also, and by the time I was done enlightening her with information Epower and Profits failed to mention, she was ready to cancel my account immediately because she realized I would not be easily fooled like most Ebay Beginners (newbs).
Also, what Epower and Profit does, it once you place your order, that's when they begin your 30 day money back gaurauntee trial. So if you place your order on say Nov. 9th and you wait 2-3 weeks to receive your order, you basically have 1 week left of the trial. You would think that your money back gaurauntee would begin after you have received and activated your account. So, many people will be stranded with having to keep this worthless item.
Now onto the ebay crashcourse they provide you with in the 3 cd-roms. To begin, you get this piece of crap VHS giving you an overview of what to do. You also get this poorly written grade-school level written book of how to make millions on ebay, which is also a piece of crap. And on the VHS, it states it took Epower and Profits two years to put together the CD-ROMS and all the information in them. I am a programmer, and let me tell you that probably took a day to put together and is terribly written. The information you can learn from the CDs, you can learn by just going to www.ebay.com and going to the help section—seriously. Scam, scam, scam!
In conclusion, if you have already purchased this item and have began selling their warehouse wholesale items or using their templates, I feel sorry for you. You will lose a fortune rather than make one with Epower and Profits. I give Epower and Profits credit for one thing, Chuck Woolery did a wonderful job with persuading people they could make a fortune with this program. The best way to advertise a productis to use a well-known celebritry. So, I give Epower and Profit an A in marketing their prooduct.
In the infomercial, he was very fluent, persuasive, and did a wonderful job marketing the item. Hey, even an advanced Ebayer like my self was slightly fooled into purchasing the item. However, for those of you who have yet to invest in this scam, rip-off, POS, please do not fall into the trap that many people are falling into. If you want to begin selling on ebay. Just go to www.ebay.com and go to the help section; it will contain all the valuable information that you need to know about ebay. If you would like to be educated further or have any questions in general, please feel free to email me at: [email protected]. Have a nice day.
Signing off...
