I am a self-published author and I listed some of my books at ebookad.com. Several ebooks have sold, but I always suspected more were being sold than I was paid for. On more than one occasion, I saw that I had a blanace owed and requested a cash-out per the company's system. My balance reverted to zero and I wasn't paid. I emailed the company numerous times and got no response. I removed my books for sale and wrote it off as a scam. I Googled my ebook the other day and to my horror it was still for sale. I logged in to my account and it said that I had no books for sale.
They are clearly selling my copyrighted material without my permission. This is fraud and theft, and I intend to file a lawsuit and contact the authorities and the press.
I Googled the company and found that I am not the only one whom they are committing fraud against. There is talk of a class action suit, and I think we should all follow up on that. The company uses Paypal, and I think they should also be notified. Any follow up reports from other defrauded authors would be appreciated. Please report this company to ICANN and the Internet Better Business Bureaus and the Internet Fraud Authorities. The company is run by Dustin Revin in Ontario, Canada.
WARNING to aspiring self-published authors: If you are thinking of selling your ebooks, avaid Ebookad at all costs! They are unethical and a scam an a fraud. Undoubtedly, from what I've found in my searches, the company's owner/president will respond and say something like "I would never do such a thing." Don't beleive his lies! Liars are cheats and cheats are liars, and this guy has zero ethics. Run!
