I will start with my confession of guilt... I know better than to fall for schemes such as Doba, but I was caught up in the moment and accepted their "free trial" shortly after being stricken with "E bay fever". After selling a few of my pieces of my personal musical gear with success, I was eager to find more ways to sell on ebay. I searched around on the net, and there I met the corporate criminal known as Doba.
For starters, this is the 2nd and last time I will fall for a "free trial" of any kind, because they ALWAYS set it up so that you AUTOMATICALLY get billed after the trial ends. These company's make it easy as pie to sign up for the free trial, but harder than Chinese math to un-subscribe! (more about this later). Doba does not warn about this up front!
Days into my trial, I realized that the items were way overpriced and the products flooded ebay more than Phishers! You can't even sell this junk because a million others are trying to sell the same overpriced items (with no success). Example: I tried to sell a computer sound card at 5 dollars above their "wholesale" price. I went way under their "suggested retail price" to get the edge. Later, I received an eBay message from an angry consumer calling me a price gouger. He told me that the same item was for sale on the companies website for $20 less than their so called wholesale price! I thought that I was undercutting to get the edge! I went to see for myself and it confirmed the angry e mailer's claims.
Once I realized how badly I had been scammed, I e mailed DOBA and told them that I would like to end my trial membership and that I wanted to make sure that no billing would occur after my trial. I emailed them multiple times and kept waiting for a reply and I never got one. Sure enough, I was billed about $50 for my next month of so called service from these corporate criminals.
I had to call them to cancel my membership to this mafia like scam and now I fear that I will be billed yet again by these criminals.
Here is the conclusion: Doba is a ripoff. They claim (and probably are) to be a successful business on the fortune 500 charts. My question is... How could you NOT make profit when you scam unsuspecting consumers with your over priced crap and rope people into automatic memberships? Of course they are making huge profits... AT YOUR EXPENSE!!!
Sadly, eBay is in bed with these low lives... Because they are making even more money being partners with Doba. Pathetic.
