Doba I've had it with Doba! Orem Utah
I signed up for a Doba account in October 2013. I have been trying to find a way to make some sort of supplemental income to prevent bankruptcy. I have listed a variety of items throughout their catalog on Ebay and Amazon. I have been selling through Ebay for about 10 years and I have a score of 37. The problem with the items available through these suppliers is that they are either outdated items that people are not willing to buy, overpriced or a combination of both. Don't fall for the weekly specials by listing them on Ebay. By the time your item sells, the price is jacked up again. I have been loosing money through Doba through those things I have managed to sell. My buyers are getting a sweet deal, while I am pay almost double for what they paid for it. The profit margins are joke. I have tried calling Doba to complain abouut the products not having the profit margins that are needed to make money on them. They make meet feel like an idiot. They explain that the suppliers set the prices and can choose what they make (or not make) available to their clients. They're passing the buck! It seems like the only wholesalers or dripshippers that will participate and sell stuff to the average retailer are those who have poor deals to begin with. They seem to make it hard on purpose, creating obstacles that hinder the average joe from making any decent money and saying that you have to do the dilligent work of taking their education courses to learn how to jump through needless hoops that a seller should not have to jump through. I know how to sell stuff on Ebay because I have been doing it for about 10 years and I know that if I sell a worthwhile product at a deal of a price, people will buy! This is not the opportunity that is given by Doba. I have even tried twice to ask to cancel my account and get a refund, but they refuse. They will not refund you unless you give them over a year and you have still failed. I have listed tons and tons of items all throughout their catalog and noone will buy them at the price I list unless I loose money on the sale! I will most likely report them to the BBB to get my refund. I am not one to always read the fine print, but the person on the phone still used language to mislead you into thinking that you can cancel at any time. Other companies have that policy. why doesn't Doba? I have noticed that they are located in the state of Utah. Not too many years ago I tried making money from a network marking company located in the same state. Could there be a connection? I cannot keep listing items that are worthless deals on ebay and keep my sanity. I need a refund! They should not even have this policy that says you have to wait and keep trying for over a year, when you know that you know that you know that this service is not going to work!

Okay, so I decided to keep going so that I could at least get my $250 back this January. I got so excited when I saw people bidding for a canopy tent that I had listed on E-Bay, only to be disappointed to find out that I still have to pay $11.00 more to send the item than I am getting paid! This is rediclious! This is not what I call equal opportunity for the growth of wealth when companies like Doba purposely and uneccessarily trip people up to fail! I am outraged! Thankfully I am only paying $11 more than I'm selling it for and not for $21 more, since the prevous bid was for $10 less.
